Troubleshooting

Ear defenders feel loose or do not create a seal

Adjust the headband to a tighter setting. Ensure the swivel cups are positioned correctly over your ears to form a complete seal. The material of the ear cushions may need a short period of wear to conform to your head shape.

Reduced noise reduction effectiveness

Check that the ear defender cups are clean and undamaged. Ensure they are worn correctly and create a full seal. If the internal foam padding appears compressed or damaged, consider replacing the ear defenders as their effectiveness may be compromised.

Discomfort during prolonged wear

Readjust the headband and cup position to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are not wearing them too tightly. Take short breaks from wearing them if working in very hot conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sealey SSP18F Ear Defenders require minimal setup. Simply unfold the arms and adjust the headband for a snug, comfortable fit. Position the cups over your ears and ensure they create a complete seal around them. The swivel action of the cups helps achieve this seal.

Periodically check the cups for any signs of wear or damage.
