Protect your ears professionally with hearing protection from ASMC

On construction sites, airports or military sites, protecting your hearing from immense noise levels is essential to avoid permanent damage and loss of hearing ability. From compact earplugs to headphones, a variety of protective items are available for this purpose.

Finding and using the right hearing protection

In principle, earplugs and headphones serve the same purpose, but the latter are a bit bulkier. If you don't want to waste as much space in your luggage as possible, you should go for compact solutions; for shooting ranges, etc., real headphones are recommended. In addition to the classic protective mechanism provided by first-class padding, electronic headphones are a modern alternative. With these, the microphone character of the membranes is automatically switched off as soon as the outside noise exceeds a preset level. For effective use, the best possible fit in the ear canal or on the auricle is the most important thing. Many brand manufacturers therefore rely on soft padding that adapts to the shape of your ear and can be worn without pain.

Questions: Hearing protection

How good is the sound insulation?

A good standard value is a reduction between 20 and 30 decibels, which is more likely to be achieved by large, wearable headphones.

Is communication impossible when wearing hearing protection?

No, as long as there is no ambient noise that is too loud to drown out the conversation. In a quieter environment, you can communicate easily using a raised voice.
