Full details

The Portwest Ear Defenders in Grey (PW73) are designed for adults seeking high-level hearing protection in medium attenuation environments, offering exceptional comfort for extended wear thanks to their PU padded headband and dual pin adjustable cups. While they provide superior protection and visibility enhancement with a reflective headband, their primary caveat is suitability for medium noise levels, not extreme industrial noise.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the grey colour coding?

The grey colour coding indicates a specific level of attenuation, allowing for easy identification of the correct ear defender for medium noise environments.

Are these ear defenders suitable for very loud industrial noise?

These ear defenders offer superior attenuation for medium noise environments. For extremely high noise levels, you may need to consult a specialist or choose a product with higher SNR (Single Number Rating) ratings.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Utilize the dual pin adjustable cups to position them for a secure seal around your ears. The headband should rest comfortably on your head without excessive pressure.

Can I wear these with other safety equipment like a hard hat?

While designed for comfort, compatibility with other PPE like hard hats may vary. Ensure that wearing both items together does not compromise the seal of the ear defenders or the fit of the hard hat.

How should I clean the ear defenders?

Wipe the ear defenders with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the material and reduce effectiveness.

What materials are used in these ear defenders?

The ear defenders are constructed from ABS, Mono PU, Polyoxymethylene, and Foam.

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III signifies that the product has undergone rigorous testing and meets the European Union's health, safety, and environmental protection requirements for high-risk category products.

Troubleshooting

Ear defenders do not seem to reduce noise effectively

Ensure the cups are creating a complete seal around your ears. Adjust the headband and cups for a snug fit. Check if the attenuation level is appropriate for the noise environment.

Headband is uncomfortable after short use

Re-adjust the dual pin system to find a less constrictive, yet still secure, position. Ensure the padding is intact and not damaged.

Ear defenders are difficult to adjust

Gently slide the cups along the dual pin system. If resistance is met, check for any obstructions. Ensure the pins are properly seated within the cup attachments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust the dual pin system on each cup to find your optimal fit. The pins allow the cups to slide up or down the headband.
  2. Ensure the ear defender cups fully enclose your ears, creating a seal against the head.
