Specialist ear protection
We are an approved supplier of Elcea hearing protection products which include:
   
  Custom hearing protection and communication for motorcyclists
are constantly exposed to high levels of noise caused predominantly by the wind. Apart from being uncomfortable and tiring high noise levels can damage the hearing mechanism. At 60mph a rider is exposed to approximately the same level as a circular saw operator who would not be allowed by law to operate the equipment without the mandatory use of hearing protection. We can provide Biopact earplugs which provide a comfortable solution to hearing protection and Duocom communication and protection earplugs, the only system certified as as a hearing protector.
   
  Professional hearing protection for the music industry
Despite being their most important piece of equipment musicians have a tendency to neglect their ears and to take for granted their ability to hear. We are able to provide the ER15 musician earplugs which allow for an attenuation of sound at all frequencies by 15dB (also available in 9dB and 20dB filters). We can also provide T2XS custom in the ear monitors giving the ultimate in dual speaker sound quality. Custom in the ear monitors provide an excellent seal against ambient noise, provide a permanent sweet spot and allow greater stage mobility.
 
  Industrial hearing protection
Health and safety regulations currently state that in any work situation an individual can be exposed to a sound pressure level of 85dB for a maximum of 8 hours. At this level, the employer must make hearing protection available. Where the noise level exceeds 90dB it then becomes a legal requirement of the employer to provide adequate hearing protection and ensure that it is used, along with proper training. No unprotected employee may be exposed to peak sound levels in excess of 140dB.

In 2005 these levels will be reduced to 80dB, 85dB and 120dB respectively. We can provide the ER series earplugs with filter strengths of 15dB and 25dB, workfit (Biopact) earplugs and Duocom communication systems.
 
  Shooting protection
For those people who participate in shooting and sport as a hobby, the loud blasts from the guns used can cause serious problems with your ears if not adequately protected. We can provide Active Protectors or Clear Shootfit earplugs with the necessary filters to help protect against these loud noises.
