The global Hearing Protection Devices market is projected to be US$ 1835.4 Mn in 2020 to reach US$ 5381.3 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 11.4%.

Hearing Protection Device (commonly known as HPD) is an ear protection device that is worn in or over the ears while being exposed to hazardous noise. HPDs help in preventing noise-induced hearing loss, since they can reduce (not eliminate) the level of noise entering the ears. There are several types of HPDs available in the market including earmuffs, earplugs, electronic hearing protection devices and semi-insert devices (canal caps). Earmuffs hearing devices are designed to fit over the outer ear, typically consisting of two ear cups and a headband. Ear cups are lined with sound-absorbing material and headband applies pressure to seal ear cups over the ear. Earplugs HPDs are designed to fit in the ear canal, and earplugs come in a variety of subtypes. Canal caps are similar to earplugs since they consist of soft tip that is inserted slightly into the ear canal or sits at the opening of the ear canal with a connected lightweight band that holds them in position.

Increased stringent government regulations in developed countries for worker safety, implemented by local authorities in developing countries are introducing policies directed towards improving work conditions which serve as a major factor for the growth of HPDs market. Growing industrialization resulting in robust urbanization in developing countries is providing impetus to the global sale of hearing protection devices

However, hearing protection devices can cause discomfort like itching and are not suitable for infected ears. In addition, hearing protection devices block other noises along with unwanted noises, due to which many dont prefer wearing HPDs, which is expected to hinder the market growth. Nonetheless, Intelligent hearing protection devices are expected to gain significant traction in the near future, especially for high-end products. Demand for these niche products is expected to augment in developing countries (such as China, India) during the forecast period.

Global Hearing Protection Devices market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, Usability, distribution channel and region. On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into Ear Plugs, Ear Muffs, Hearing Bands and Uniform Attenuation Ear Plugs. The Ear Plugs segment accounts for the majority share and is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period, followed by Ear muffs segment.

Patent Number: US7783056B2

Earplug

Abstract

Earplug comprising a plug member for blocking a mans ear canal, said plug member comprising at least one acoustic channel for channeling incoming acoustic energy to said mans ear. According to the invention, a detector for detecting an acoustic energy level or for detecting a control signal that is indicative for an acoustic energy level to be received, an acoustic valve positioned in said channel, and a control unit that, in response to said detector, controls said valve so as to attenuate the acoustic energy channeled through said acoustic channel.

Application Granted Date: 2010-08-24

Current Assignee: DYNAMIC EAR Co BV

Patent Number: US9060897B2

Switchable hearing protection ear plug

Abstract

The present invention is a switchable hearing protection ear plug. In one position, the ear plug provides substantial sound attenuation and hearing protection. In the second position, an opening in the ear plug permits sounds to enter the ear of the user relatively unobstructed. A deformable barrier in an interior chamber of the ear plug controls the passage of sound through the ear plug.

Inventor: Robert E. Marsh

Patent Number: US20120305329A1

Method and structure for achieving spectrum-tunable and uniform attenuation

Abstract

The present invention relates hearing protection devices for the human ear. More particularly, embodiments of the invention provide hearing protection devices capable of tunable acoustic attenuation. The invention relates further to ear plugs comprising a fluid-containing balloon for occlusion of the ear canal, which are capable of being adjusted for example by modifying fluid composition and/or fluid pressure within the balloon to vary attenuation at different frequencies of the audible sound spectrum. Other embodiments provide an earplug with fixed attenuation comprising: a body of compressible/expandable-recovery material shaped and sized to fit in an ear canal; and at least one chamber disposed within the body and comprising a filler material chosen from at least one of water, aphrons, water with solid or gelatinous particles suspended, and oil with particles suspended.
