Hearing Solutions for America’s Backbone.
We exist to protect the people who keep America running — manufacturers, builders, and frontline workers — by delivering hearing conservation programs that are faster, smarter, and audit-proof.
Our Story
For decades, manufacturers have endured costly, disruptive hearing test weeks that slowed production and still left compliance gaps. EarTuff was founded to change that.
Founded by Jonathan Cantrell, a hearing industry veteran with over a decade running Georgia’s top-rated hearing clinics, and Edgar Gonzalez, an Army veteran and business leader, EarTuff blends clinical precision with military-grade operational excellence.
Our mission is simple
To protect the men and women who keep America’s factories running — while saving companies money and keeping them OSHA-compliant.

Our Approach
We go beyond basic PPE and outdated processes. EarTuff delivers a complete, end-to-end hearing conservation program that includes:
- Comprehensive Sound Surveys with expert consulting and heat maps
- Record-Breaking Hearing Tests — up to 60 workers per hour, timed at shift start to cut false STSs
- Certified Training that sticks and reduces PPE violations
- Custom Medical-Grade Protection that replaces disposables and reduces waste
- Secure Client Portal with instant access to records, surveys, and compliance docs

Co-Founder, CEO Jonathan Cantrell
On the clinical side of hearing loss, every fraction of a decibel matters. Accuracy is not just about compliance. It is about preventing permanent damage before it happens.

We apply the same urgency, precision and operational excellence that we lived every day in the military and other high-stakes environments.
