Band protection
June 1st 2005 A comfortable, economic alternative to earmuffs and earplugs is now offered by Aearo.
The E.A.R Band is a semi-aural hearing protector that follows music headphone designs to provide the wearer with a stylish, ergonomic and cool way to protect their hearing.
The device wraps around the ear and sits behind the back of the head, helping to reduce noise transmission through the band. There is no rubbing on clothing or clashing with other PPE devices such as hard hats, safety spectacles or respirators.
An anti-twist socket reduces movement of the band when fitted.
The E.A.R. Band has been designed to keep the pods clear of dirty work surfaces when it is removed in the working environment.
Constructed from a robust ABS material, the band is said to be extremely hardwearing and durable. Pods can be washed in warm soapy water and replacement pods are available.
The product is quickly fitted and removed, making it suitable for personnel moving in and out of noisy areas. More articles from 3M UK Plc: |
