Troubleshooting
Ear defenders do not seem to reduce noise sufficiently.
Ensure the ear defenders are worn correctly, creating a tight seal around the ears. Adjust the headband for a secure fit. Check that the ear cushions are clean and undamaged.
Headband feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the length of the headband by sliding the earcups up or down until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved. If still uncomfortable, ensure the earcups are positioned correctly on the ears.
Ear defenders are difficult to fold or unfold.
Gently manipulate the parts. If resistance is met, check for obstructions or debris. Do not force the mechanism, as this could cause damage.
