Hearing Protection with Communication

At Safer Hearing, we pride ourselves in our ability to combine hearing protection with a variety of complementary communication technologies to provide solutions to safely communicate in noisy environments.

Introducing smarter Personal Protection Equipment, such a two-way radio and noise reduction headsets, hearing protection can result in a more productive workplace as well as a safer one.

Some of the common communication scenarios we encounter and assist with are:

• Cable and hands free headsets with inbuilt Bluetooth connectivity for phones or other devices
• Headsets with automatic noise attenuation (reduction) when sound level peaks
• Devices with noise level dependency, letting the wearer still hear alarms and speak with colleagues
• Builtin two-way radio with noise cancelling microphone

Communication solutions with built in hearing protection

We can advise and supply a wide range of both headset and in-ear Hearing Protection Equipment (HPE) communication solutions such as:

• Combined passive HPE and license free analogue radio applications.

 

• Combined passive HPE and licensed radio application (analogue or digital) both available as ATEX and Non ATEX.

 

• Combined passive HPE and listen only functionality for situations where operators need only to listen to instructions. Both ATEX and non ATEX solutions are available.

 

• Combined passive HPE and entertainment suite such as FM/AM radio or MP3 connectivity.

 

• Combined passive HPE and level dependent functionality - this is now used in a variety of differing applications such as:
  • Sports Shooting
  • Where enhanced situation awareness is required
  • Under EN458 compliance to combat over protection
  • Military and Emergency Services applications

 

• Combined passive HPE and Bluetooth technology for use with mobile phone connectivity featuring:
  • Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) music streaming
  • Personal Mobile Radio (PMR) connectivity subject to correct Bluetooth protocols
  • Headset to headset communications
  • Duplex communications
  • ATEX connectivity to radio and tablet/PDA

 

• Combined passive HPE for Airport Ground handling operations with:
  • Cabled directly into the aircraft
  • Bluetooth dongle
  • Push back and de-icing solutions

With the right solution, improved communication and situational awareness can coexist with hearing protection and actually improve productivity

Active Noise Reduction Hearing Protection

Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headsets are used by aviation pilots and some ground handling operators. They require precise noise measurement of the particular hazard in order to program the headsets with the reciprocal frequencies in order for the ANR to work properly.

Hearing Protection with Programmable Radio

Safer Hearing offer programming of certain models of headsets both ATEX and Non ATEX to companies for their individual frequencies, channels, sub channels to comply with their own requirements under their OFCOM licenses.

​These devices are suitable for trunked systems as well as standalone radio.
