FAQs

What is the main purpose of these ear defenders?

Their main purpose is to protect the wearer's hearing from harmful noise levels in environments with high sound pollution.

How do I know which colour cup to use?

The colour-coded cups indicate different attenuation levels. Refer to the product documentation or manufacturer's guide for specific details on which colour corresponds to the required noise reduction for your environment.

Can I wear these with a hard hat?

The ear defenders are designed to be compatible with most standard safety headgear, but fit may vary. Ensure there is enough clearance for a comfortable and secure fit without compromising the seal of either item.

How long will the ear defenders last?

With proper care and regular inspection, the ear defenders are designed for long-term use. However, components like the ear cushions may wear over time and should be replaced if damaged or degraded.

Are these suitable for industrial noise?

Yes, these ear defenders are CE certified and designed to provide excellent attenuation rates suitable for various industrial noise environments.

What does 'HV' stand for?

'HV' typically stands for High Visibility, referring to the reflective trim that enhances the wearer's visibility.

How do I clean the reflective trim?

Gently wipe the reflective trim with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the reflective surface.

Troubleshooting

Ear defenders do not feel secure

Adjust the dual pin system to a different position. Ensure the headband is correctly positioned on your head, not too high or too low.

Reduced noise reduction effectiveness

Check that the ear defender cups are properly sealed around the ears. Ensure there are no gaps. Clean any dirt or debris from the earcups and ear sealing surfaces.

Discomfort during extended wear

Ensure the headband is adjusted to the correct tension – not too tight. Clean the padded headband as per care instructions. Allow for breaks from wearing the ear defenders if possible.

Colour code is unclear

Refer to the product manual or Portwest website for a guide to colour-coded attenuation levels. Clean the cups gently if dirt is obscuring the colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust the dual pin system to find the optimal position for a comfortable and secure fit on your head. The cups should seal gently but firmly around your ears.
