Description

  • Protection level 3 for high to very high noise
  • Best choice for low frequency noise
  • Comfortable headband with soft padding

The headband style hearing protectors offer great comfort and quality to all professional users. A light and durable headband construction with soft cushions and easy size adjustment provides a perfect fit for all head sizes. Protection level 3 is suitable for high to very high noise levels, between 100-115 dB. Fortunatly a rare environment for most workers, but the best and only choice when nothing else will do. Protection level 3 is also the best choice when the noise is dominated by low frequencies, a type of noise that masks out speech and other important sounds, as well as causing stress and nausea.

Headband

Durable and non-conductive construction to be worn over-the-head. Features a soft replacable cushion that rests lightly on your head for comfortable use the entire working day.

Made of high quality plastic

Durable construction made from thermoplastics that withstand rough environments and variable temperatures without ever loosing its clamping force and flexibility. This non-conductive construction makes it a perfect choice for working close to electrical sources.

Telescopic size adjustment

Replaceable cushions with "snap-in" system

Integration with face protection

The unique visor integration allows you to combine any of Hellberg's hearing protectors with face protection.

Noise Protection Level

Hellberg hearing protectors are divided into three noise protection levels, ranging from low to high noise protection. These are clearly indicated with bright safety colours for easy identification and selection.

Key certifications:

SLC80 32dB

This hearing protection product complies with the Australia/New Zealand standard and has been tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1270.

It has an SLC80 rating of 32 (which in rough terms means it blocks about 32dB of noise) and is a Class 5 hearing protector.

  • Class 1: SLC80 10–13 - Suitable for <90 dB noise levels
  • Class 2: SLC80 14–17 - Suitable for <90-95 dB noise levels
  • Class 3: SLC80 18-21 - Suitable for <95-100 dB noise levels
  • Class 4: SLC80 22-25 - Suitable for <100-105 dB noise levels
  • Class 5: SLC80 ≥26 - Suitable for <105-110 dB noise levels

SLC80 Explained

Under AS/NZS 1270:2002, hearing protection is tested for its Sound Level Conversion (SLC80) rating, which indicates the difference between the environmental noise and the sound reaching the wearer’s ears. This rating helps determine the appropriate Class of hearing protection for specific noise levels.

Australian and New Zealand workplaces are obligated under AS/NZS 1269.3:2005 to:

  • Conduct noise level surveys to assess exposure (measured as LAeq,8h).
  • Provide suitable hearing protection for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A).
  • Ensure hearing protection is maintained and properly fitted to achieve effective attenuation.

Employers must select hearing protection suitable for the measured noise levels, ensuring compliance with occupational noise management regulations.

SNR 33

An SNR of 33 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 33 decibels across various frequencies.

'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

SNR is primarily used as a rating system in Europe, while North America often uses 'NRR' (Noise Reduction Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.

Product Care

Cleaning

  • Wipe the ear cups and headband with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oils.

Storage

  • Store the earmuffs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage when not in use.
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the earmuffs to maintain their shape and effectiveness.
