HML : Attenuation values expressed in terms of average levels of frequencies: H : Attenuation of PPE at high frequencies (pitched noises). M : Attenuation of PPE at medium frequencies. L : Attenuation of PPE at low frequencies (bass sounds). ANSI (US American National Standards Institute)S3.9-974 This standard specifies the test method for determining the level of noise attenuation (NRR Noise Reduction Rating) of the hearing protection, as recommended by the EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). The performance of the hearing protector (its attenuation level) must be adapted to the risk assessment of the workplace. It should bring the noise level to a level that is not harmful to health, while avoiding over-protection which would cut the operator from his environment (warnings, communication, etc).
