The NoiseBuster Active Noise Reduction ("ANR") Safety Earmuff is specifically designed to reduce the noise generated by lawn, landscape and garden power equipment such as mowers, loaders, skid steers, compact excavators, chain saws, vacuums, blowers, and other noisy devices. Whether you work in hardscape construction, sports-field site development and maintenance or lawn care, limiting exposure to excessive noise is the best way to protect hearing.
The NoiseBuster ANR Safety Earmuff delivers the highest level of hearing protection available by combining an ANSI-rated 26NRR passive earmuff with active noise reduction electronics that deliver an additional 20dB of low-frequency noise attenuation.
The NoiseBuster's audio input feature makes it an excellent choice for listening to music from portable audio devices such as MP3 players without over amplifying or distorting the music in order to overcome equipment noise.
The NoiseBuster ANR Earmuff is powered by a single AA battery. Specifically designed to be durable, the unit is resistant to water, moisture, contaminants, mechanical shock and vibration. The product features soft, pliable, replaceable ear cushions and has an adjustable comfort headband. An audio input cord is provided. Over-the-head and behind-the-head configurations are available.
When an individual is exposed to loud noise over time, the hair-like cells of the inner ear, called cilia, can be damaged, causing Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). Once the damage is done, there is no way to reverse that damage; there is no cure. In addition to hearing loss, prolonged exposure to noise is known to cause psychological and physiological effects including fatigue, anxiety, depression, loss of concentration, reduced productivity, headaches and high blood pressure.
