Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to devices, systems, and methods for assessing a hearing protection device. A method for assessing a hearing protection device may comprise monitoring sounds with a hearing protection device; transmitting sound measurements from the hearing protection device to a portable electronic device; transmitting the sound measurements from the portable electronic device to a server; comparing, with the portable electronic device or the server, sound measurements to a look-up table; suggesting, with the portable electronic device, the most suitable hearing protection device to be worn based on a comparison between the sound measurements and the look-up table.
