FAQs
What is the noise reduction rating (NRR) of these ear protectors?
These ear protectors have an ANSI S3.19 NRR of 24dB and meet AS/NZS 1270 SLC(80) 22dB - Class 4 standards.
Can I use these ear protectors with any brand of helmet?
No, these ear protectors are designed for specific compatibility with Portwest Endurance Helmets, Height Endurance Helmets, Peak View Helmets, and the PS51 Helmet. Using them with other helmet brands may affect fit and performance.
How do I clean the ear protectors?
Clean them with a mild soap and water solution using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What does the 'stand off' position mean?
The 'stand off' position allows the ear defenders to be pivoted away from the ears when not actively needed, but kept readily accessible on the helmet.
Are these suitable for industrial environments?
Yes, with their high attenuation ratings, they are suitable for many industrial settings with significant noise levels, provided they are used with compatible helmets.
How are these ear protectors packaged?
They come in a retail bag, which aids presentation for retail sales, and are also individually packed for vending machines.
What materials are these ear protectors made from?
They are made from durable ABS and Polystyrene.
Troubleshooting
Ear protectors do not clip securely to the helmet.
Ensure the helmet slots are clean and free of obstructions. Verify that you are using a compatible Portwest helmet model. Try re-aligning and applying firm, even pressure until the clip engages fully.
Reduced noise reduction performance.
Check that the ear protectors are properly positioned and fully covering the ears. Ensure the seal around the ear is intact and that the attenuation performance is as expected for the specific helmet model being used. Inspect for any damage to the earcups or seals.
Ear protectors feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Adjust the position of the ear protectors to find a comfortable fit. Ensure they are not being worn with excessive force. Take regular breaks from wearing hearing protection if possible, especially in environments with intermittent noise.
