Features

Neckband

Steel wire construction with insulation of the metal parts for non-conductivity. To be worn behind the neck.

Soft velcro support band

The soft support band enhances the fit of the neckband hearing protector. Easy to adjust to any head size and rests lightly on the crown of the head, comfortable to wear 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.

Replaceable cushions with "snap-in" system

Comfortable cushions with minimal sweat retention and soft foam filling increases comfort. The snap-in system enables regular replacement for a long-lasting and hygienic product with high performance.

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 29dB

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 29 (which in rough terms means it blocks about 29dB 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.

NRR 25

An NRR of 25 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 25 decibels across various frequencies.

'NRR' in hearing protection stands for 'Noise Reduction 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 NRR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

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

SNR 30

An SNR of 30 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 30 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.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or submerging the earmuffs in water, as this may damage the materials.
  • Allow the earmuffs to air dry completely before storing or reusing them.

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.
