Checklist Earmuffs

Protection
  • Earmuffs are available in different protection classes.
  • The SNR value indicates how well the hearing protector attenuates noise.
  • For example, a hearing protector with an SNR value of 35 dB can reduce a noise level of 100 dB to 65 dB.
  • This means that the higher the SNR value, the greater the protective effect of the hearing protector.
Areas of Application
  • Ear muffs are often used on construction sites, factory floors, sawmills or other noisy environments.
  • Due to the padding around the ears, they are more comfortable to wear than earplugs. They are therefore more suitable for long periods of work.
Other Functions
  • Some models can be paired with the smartphone via Bluetooth. The desired music can then be played – the earmuff becomes a headset with noise-reducing effect.
  • With a radio receiver, music can be received without a smartphone.
  • Replacement earplugs are handy if one side of the hearing protector is defective and needs to be replaced.
  • Basically, all earmuffs are adjustable in size.
