Care:

- Storage: When not in use, fold the ear defenders to palm size and store them in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original retail bag or a protective pouch to prevent contamination and damage.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the ear defenders for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the plastic, torn ear cushions, or a weakened headband. If damaged, discontinue use.
