Zone Hearing Range – Active Listening and AM/FM Radio Ear Defenders

Noise blocking hearing protection is a simple and effective method to avoid hearing damage, but an appropriate ear defender is one that is worn constantly during the whole time the noise occurs. In some applications where harmful noise is intermittent and unpredictable or the use of hearing protection is required for extended durations, noise blocking performance alone is often not enough to prevent short term removal of hearing protection. In the constant quest for 100% appropriate hearing protection the development of Zone active listening and AM/FM radio ear defenders means there is no longer a reason for the temporary, potentially damaging short term removal of ear defenders. The benefits of electronic protection are clear, a safe, motivated workforce with improved moral and productivity without compromising safety.

Focus Zone
The Focus Zone AM/FM radio ear defender has been designed to counteract feelings of isolation and to improve the morale and productivity of people working continuously in hazardous noise. The risk of short term removal most commonly associated with standard passive hearing protection is greater in environments that require their use for long periods of time. Focus Zone is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications and enables the wearer to listen to their preferred radio station and to connect an external sound source including, mp3-players, mobile phones or com-radios, without compromising protection.
Alert Zone
The selection of noise blocking ear defenders in environments where harmful noise is intermittent and unpredictable is not always the most appropriate choice of hearing protection. The Alert Zone “active listening” ear defender with intelligent Electronic Protection System, safeguards wearers against the dangers of short-term removal by preventing feelings of isolation; enabling the wearer to remain fully aware and alert to their surroundings. Vital warning signals can be heard and optimum speech clarity is received from verbal communication, without compromising protection.
