Hearing Protection
- further categoriesIf you work in a place where you are exposed to more noise than usual, you will definitely need hearing protection. Noise exposure can take two forms. One is when the noise is extremely loud for a short period of time, and the other is when the noise seems tolerable but lasts for a longer period of time. Read more...

This is a very good question, because we wear the earmuffs not because we are required to by the health and safety regulations, but because they provide adequate protection, and this happens when the earmuffs reduce noise exposure by up to 35 decibels. But we must also remember that these devices are an important part of the protective clothing worn by many professions to protect our health.
When using them, don't expect to be greeted by total silence when you put the earmuffs on your head, which can be dangerous, but rather to hear the warning signals at normal volume.
Buy 3M Peltor hearing protection earmuffs!
If you decide to buy hearing protection, you don't have to worry about not being able to communicate with your colleagues or co-workers. But, if you don't want to use hearing protectors because you want to listen to music, you can choose to wear hearing protectors. Whatever you choose, make sure you only put a good quality model on your ears. The 3M Peltor brand guarantees that.
Why buy 3M Peltor earmuffs? The brand's hearing protectors combine effective soundproofing with a high level of comfort. If you choose the bluetooth version, it can work for up to 600 hours, and there is even a model that switches off automatically after 2 hours of use. This is useful if you forget to switch off the earpiece after work.
Who and when do people use active hearing protectors?
Active earmuffs are similar in functionality to so-called noise-cancelling headphones, which we use for our own entertainment. In contrast, active hearing protectors are mainly used by people in situations and professions where communication is important. In particular, active hearing protectors are used by hunters, police and military personnel.
These devices have a microphone on the outside and both ear cups contain a microphone that absorbs all sound. Moreover, electronics inside the device analyse the information, process the sound and then reproduce it for the ear. Thanks to this, the earbuds reduce loud noises, such as gunshots, and make them harmless to our ears. And there are even versions with a radio receiver, making work even more efficient.
Which Bluetooth hearing protectors to choose?
If you want to protect your hearing from loud noise sources, but also want to listen to music, audiobooks or interesting podcasts, Bluetooth hearing protection is the perfect choice for you. To ensure that you can use your Bluetooth hearing protector for a long time without any problems, make sure that the quality is good.
Once again, the 3M Peltor brand offers us a guarantee. But you should also look out for robust construction and the longest possible battery life.
Why do we need hearing protectors for children?
Our children's ears are very sensitive and they perceive what's going on around them much louder than we adults do. That's why hearing protectors designed specifically for children are particularly recommended for use at celebrations, festivals, sporting events, fireworks, concerts or other loud events.
But what makes a hearing protector suitable to protect our children from hearing loss? Its size? No, it's the fact that sound levels below 80 decibels will not cause permanent damage to children. What should we look out for when buying hearing protection for children? One of the most important things is that it should be made of soft, fluffy materials that won't hurt your little one's ears, but it's also important that the cushioning in the ears is comfortable enough. That way, our children will be happy to wear this useful protective equipment.
