FAQs

What is the SNR rating of these ear defenders?

The Sealey Ear Defenders have an SNR (Single Number Rating) of 27dB. Please note that the actual protection level may vary slightly in real-world conditions.

Are these ear defenders suitable for construction work?

Yes, they are fully approved to protect against high noise levels and are suitable for most working environments, including construction sites where noise can be significant.

How do I clean the ear defenders?

You can clean them by wiping the ear cups and headband with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Can these be worn with safety helmets?

While designed for general workwear, compatibility with safety helmets depends on the specific helmet design. The adjustable swivel cups may allow for some adjustment, but a secure fit for both items should be verified.

What standard do these ear defenders comply with?

They are compliant with BS EN 352.1:2020 standards, ensuring they meet rigorous safety requirements for hearing protection.

Are the ear cushions replaceable?

It is recommended to replace ear cushions if they show signs of wear, tear, or loss of elasticity, as this can impact performance. Replacement parts may be available from the manufacturer or authorized distributors.

What does 'Model No. 406' refer to?

Model No. 406 is the specific product identifier for these Sealey Red Safety Ear Defenders.

Troubleshooting

Ear defenders do not seem to reduce noise sufficiently

Ensure the ear cups are positioned correctly over the ears, creating a complete seal. Adjust the swivel cups for a snug fit. Check ear cushions for any damage or wear that might be compromising the seal. Verify the SNR rating is appropriate for the noise level.

Headband is uncomfortable or too tight/loose

Adjust the size of the ear defenders by sliding the cups along the headband. Experiment with different positions to find a secure yet comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the model is suitable for your head size and shape.

Ear defenders feel loose and slip during use

Re-adjust the cups to ensure they are firmly positioned and creating a good seal. Ensure the headband is correctly sized for your head. If the ear cushions are worn out, they may need to be replaced to restore a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust Fit: Gently pull the cups outwards from the headband. Place the ear defender cups over your ears, ensuring a complete seal around them. Slide the cups up or down the headband to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that does not exert excessive pressure.
  2. Check Seal: Ensure the ear cushions create a tight seal against your head. There should be no gaps where sound can easily enter.

Compatibility:

These ear defenders are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most standard workwear and safety gear. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial and occupational applications.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the ear cups and headband with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the material.
  • Storage: Store the ear defenders in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will help maintain the integrity of the ear cushions and headband.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the ear cushions for signs of wear or damage. Replace ear cushions if they are cracked, torn, or have lost their elasticity, as this can compromise their protective effectiveness. Ensure the headband remains intact and free from damage.
