Product Information
Full details
The Portwest PW03 HV Extreme Ear Defenders in Green are designed for adults requiring hearing protection that can be integrated with specific Portwest helmets. They offer a secure, comfortable fit and superior protection against harmful noise, especially in environments where lower attenuation is preferred to avoid over-protection. A key benefit is their easy clip-on design and color-coded cups for quick identification of attenuation levels, though they are exclusively compatible with Portwest Endurance and Height Endurance helmets.

FAQs
Are these ear defenders suitable for all noise levels?
These ear defenders have an SNR rating of 23dB, offering moderate noise reduction. They are ideal for environments where lower attenuation is needed to avoid over-protection. For extremely high noise environments, products with a higher SNR rating may be necessary.
What helmets are compatible with the PW03 HV Extreme Ear Defenders?
These ear defenders are exclusively designed to be compatible with the Portwest Endurance helmets and Portwest Height Endurance helmets.
How do I clean the ear defenders?
Clean the ear defenders using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials. Ensure they are dry before storing.
Can I use these ear defenders if I work near electricity?
Yes, these ear defenders are 100% metal-free, making them suitable for use in environments where non-conductive Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required.
How can I tell which attenuation level a pair of ear defenders has?
The ear defenders feature color-coded cups. The green color indicates the specific attenuation level for this model (SNR 23dB). Other colors are used for different attenuation levels.
What is the benefit of the adjustable dual pin system?
The adjustable dual pin system allows for multiple positioning options, ensuring a better and more personalized fit for the user's comfort and effective seal.
Can the ear defenders be removed without taking off the helmet?
Yes, the ear defenders can be comfortably repositioned when not in use without needing to remove the helmet entirely.
Troubleshooting
Ear defenders do not clip securely onto the helmet.
Ensure you are using a compatible Portwest Endurance or Height Endurance helmet. Check the mounting points on both the helmet and the ear defender for any obstructions or damage. Realign and apply firm, even pressure until a click is heard.
Poor noise reduction performance.
Verify that the ear defenders are properly seated and creating a seal around the ears. Check that the seals are clean and intact. Ensure the attenuation level (SNR 23dB) is appropriate for the noise environment; higher SNR may be required for louder conditions.
Ear defenders feel uncomfortable or cause pressure.
Adjust the dual pin system to find a more suitable positioning. Ensure the ear defender cups are correctly oriented around the ears. If discomfort persists, check that the helmet is also fitted correctly, as a poor helmet fit can affect ear defender comfort.
Plastic arms appear damaged.
Inspect the plastic arms for any cracks or signs of stress. If damage is found, the ear defenders should not be used and should be replaced to ensure safety and performance.
