Hearing protection for high sound intensity

To protect your hearing from unpleasant noises, it is recommended that you wear hearing protection when using certain petrol-powered machines. Consult the instruction manual for information on the recommended hearing protection for your machine. Regardless, employers must provide their employees with adequate hearing protection as soon as noise pollution reaches a sound pressure level of 85 dB(A). In this case, the safety requirements of European standard EN 352 must be metEN 352 must be met.

We offer a wide range of ear protectors for working with petrol-powered machines, such as chainsaws or disc cutters.Sound insulation is indicated in accordance with EN 352for three frequency ranges: (H) is a high frequency, (M) is medium and (L) is low. The attenuation value, specified as SNR, describes the difference between the effective volume and the volume that is obtained through the hearing protection and reaches the eardrum membrane.

Our earmuffs or earplugs help to effectively reduce the sound pressure level of petrol machines. The result: working with petrol-powered machines becomes quieter, whether you choose to wear earplugs or earmuffs.
