In the military, hearing safety is more than a health concern—it's a key component of operational readiness. The Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes noise-induced hearing loss as a leading hazard for service members, and addressing it is critical to maintaining an effective fighting force. This is why hundreds of WAHTS units are already in use across both active and reserve branches, demonstrating their proven value in safeguarding hearing and ensuring readiness.
WAHTS stands out as a versatile tool, enabling seamless hearing tests and hearing protector fit testing (HPFT) in both group and individual settings. Fit testing is essential for ensuring that hearing protection devices (HPDs) are correctly fitted to maximize noise reduction. In environments where service members are exposed to hazardous noise levels—whether from weapons fire, aircraft, or machinery—this capability helps prevent hearing loss and supports mission success.
By incorporating WAHTS into their hearing conservation efforts, military units not only comply with updated DoD regulations but also foster a culture of safety and preparedness. With WAHTS, the military reinforces its commitment to readiness while protecting the well-being of its force.
Our products support hearing and HPFT initiatives, allowing for accurate measurements of personal attenuation ratings (PAR) to ensure optimal noise reduction.
Rapid Throughput
Each hearing test with WAHTS averages seven minutes, and each fit test around five minutes. Group testing further increases throughput, providing a fast, efficient, and accurate solution for large-scale testing needs.

WAHTS In Action: Oregon ARNG
Hearing tests often create bottlenecks in military occupational health programs. With WAHTS, however, the Oregon Army National Guard efficiently tested 150 soldiers in under four hours—achieving a rate of 50 soldiers per hour in the first two hours using a setup of just 12 WAHTS units. Each test averaged seven minutes, and data was seamlessly imported into DOEHRS by an on-site team member.
WAHTS has become the preferred solution for hearing and fit testing across numerous military branches, including the U.S. Army, Navy, Army National Guard, Air National Guard, Army Corps of Engineers, and more.
