- In April 2022, ISOtunes, a manufacturer specializing in Bluetooth hearing protection, introduced three new models: AIR DEFENDER, LINK 2.0, and FREE Aware. The ISOtunes AIR DEFENDER is designed for users new to hearing protection technology, offering easy-to-use features at an affordable price. This Bluetooth earmuff also features memory foam ear cushions for added comfort.
- In December 2019, Maryland-based Zeteo Tech, Inc. developed a canal hearing aid aimed at preventing hearing loss caused by high-decibel noise in defense, transportation, and training environments. Their Canine Auditory Protection System (CAPS) is designed to protect military working dogs by providing superior noise absorption with lightweight materials. The system resembles a snug-fitting hood that evenly distributes pressure to keep the protection securely in place, setting it apart from other canine hearing protection devices.
- In October 2019, Honeywell International Inc. launched the VeriShield Smart Hearing Solution, a combination of cloud-based software and connected protective headphones that monitor sound in real-time and analyze noise trends. This innovation helps businesses better protect workers from hearing loss. The headset reduces background noise to safe levels, enabling clearer communication, while continuously collecting noise data and sending it to Honeywell Safety Suite, a cloud platform that automates safety intelligence reporting. The VeriShield mobile app allows supervisors and workers to track noise exposure, including peaks and unusual patterns, directly from their smartphones or mobile devices.
- In July 2019, CENS Digital introduced the ProFlex DX Series earplugs, designed specifically for shooters, which includes the DX1 and DX3 models.
