Keys to Successful
Hearing Protection
with Earmuffs
Selection
Avoid overprotection in minimal noise
environments – in selecting the best earmuff
for your situation, consider noise levels and
your need to communicate with co-workers
or hear warning signals on the job.
Wear
Read and follow all earmuff fitting
instructions. Remove all hair underneath
ear cushions.
Hygiene
Clean earcups and ear cushions regularly
with mild soap and water.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect earcups and ear cushions
for cracks and leaks – discard if earcups are
visibly damaged or compromised.
Replacement
Replace ear cushions and foam inserts every
6-8 months under normal wear, every 3-4
months with heavy use or in humid/extreme
climates.
Avoid
Obstructions
Do not allow hair
to obstruct the ear
or the earmuff’s
secure fit in
any way.
Firm Seal
Do seal the
cushions firmly
against the head.
Cover Ear
Completely
The earcups should
never fit crooked or
askew over the ear.
