EAVE INTELLIGENT NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM
THE TOTAL SOLUTION FOR MANAGING WORKPLACE NOISE
The EAVE solution consists of FocusLite smart ear defenders that provide hearing protection and situational awareness while at the same time collecting noise data and the Peak online platform for insights and analysis of the noise data.
CREATING SAFER WORKPLACES
Helping you maintain a safe and productive work environment using advanced hearing protection and noise analytics.
CREATE A HEARING-PROTECTION CULTURE
Prioritise worker-health by providing the most advanced noise-reduction solution on the market.
MONITOR INDIVIDUAL RISK
Track each worker’s noise exposure to keep them within safe parameters.
IDENTIFY NOISE RISK
Understand where noise is a problem onsite and take steps to protect workers from over-exposure.
IMPROVE SITE SAFETY
Allow workers to retain situational awareness and safely communicate with others onsite while still wearing ear defenders.
REDUCE CLAIMS
Minimise occupational deafness claims by offering advanced hearing safety at source.
ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY
Noise-protection together with unencumbered communication keeps workers productive throughout the day.
MEASURE
Monitor site-wide noise levels whilst tracking individual workers’ noise exposure
PROTECT
Provide day-long hearing protection, set, and meet noise-exposure targets
ANALYSE
Use data to understand how noise affects your workplace and increase productivity with data-backed decisions
ENHANCE

FOCUSLITE
The FocusLite ear defenders collect noise data from inside and outside of the earcup. This data is then automatically uploaded to Peak when near a SmartHub. We collect both measurements to identify the users’ external noise exposure against the measure of their internal protection.Beacons are small low energy de- vices that capture location-based data for the Noise Map functional- ity on Peak. The FocusLite headset records the noise levels and location of the beacons when in proximity. This data is uploaded to Peak, along with the user’s exposure data.
PEAK
Data for each user is uploaded and information is displayed on the Peak dashboard. Peak can show you if hearing protection was properly used when required. It allows you to filter for worksites, teams and individuals to identify necessary corrective actions and possible improvements. Peak shows noise overexposures and if legal limits have been exceeded. Using the beacon technology, you can see where noise hotspots are on your sites. By identifying these, you are better positioned to reduce or eliminate sources of ex- cessive noise or to adapt workers behaviour in these areas.
SMART HUB
Smart Hubs are the internet bridge devices that our defenders use to send their data to the Peak platform. The FocusLite connects to the Smart Hub over Bluetooth when they are in range. The Smart Hub is placed in a gate- way location where personal protective equipment is stored and where the FocusLite headsets are charged.
ANALYTICS
Peak enables you to see and analyse the noise information to better understand what’s happen- ing onsite and to take appropriate actions. With notifications you will receive SMS and Email alerts about workers noise overexpo- sures. Examples of actions resulting from using the Peak dashboard and notifications are:
• Identifying and remedying in- correct use of FocusLite hearing protection. Adjusting shift patterns for workers to keep those identified as high risk below their weekly overexposure levels.
• Adjusting site capacity when very loud machinery/equipment activities are occurring.
• Swapping work areas for those who repeatedly are identified as at risk of overexposure.
• Changing routes to avoid people frequently passing high noise area’s.
• Identify, reduce or eliminate sources (equipment) of high noise.
Once hearing loss sets in, there is sadly no cure. The good news is that long-term hearing damage can be prevented if effective noise control measures are taken. Such measures include protecting individual workers’ ears with a high-quality headset, controlling the noise at source, and managing each employee’s exposure levels. The easiest and most effective way to do this is to implement Eave.

Continued exposure to high levels of noise such as occurs in a variety of industries, damages the delicate hearing mechanism within the ear causing hearing damage (such as loss of hearing acui- ty or tinnitus) and later, deafness. The higher the level of noise, and the longer individuals are ex- posed to it, the greater the risk. Deafness has also been linked to other health problems such as dementia and high blood pressure.
