If you’re in the market for a pair of electronic ear defenders for shooting, MSA Sordin Supreme PRO X and Peltor SportTac are two very popular options. If you work in a noisy environment, you may have heard that 85 dB is the safe limit, and that if you’re exposed to anything louder you should wear hearing protection. Whilst both products are comfortably on the high end of the market, the price difference may be significant to you. This allows the user to keep their hearing protected whilst communicating at the range or listening for noises whilst hunting. With over 25 years’ experience in industrial, aviation and personal headset and eardefender repairs Earshot Communications is a true specialist with a wealth of knowledge that makes it one of the leading repair centres in the UK.
Almost all firearms produce a noise of over 140 decibels (dB), which is enough to cause long-term hearing damage. In this article, we’ll be weighing up the differences between them so that you can choose the pair that’s right for you. The attenuation level of these ear defenders appears to be higher than the MSA Sordin Supreme PRO X ear defenders, but this is partly because the SNR (single number rating) is measured differently to the NRR (noise reduction rating), and SNR values are typically higher.Ear defenders vary greatly in price. While you can’t put a price on your hearing, you want to make sure you’re getting value for money. state that they were designed specifically with hunters and marksmen in mind. The unique sound circuitry that stops the abrupt noise cut-off is certainly a nice feature.

Peltor Ear Defenders Features
Therefore, as long as ear defenders can reduce the sound of gunshot to below 130 dB, they will protect our hearing. I can often be shooting all day for days in a row and, despite other ills, my ears currently work very well and I’d like to keep them that way. Due to the size of the rifles I shoot, regular muzzle brake exposure and the (often painful) experience of covered firing points, defending my eardrums is a serious priority for me personally, and I have researched the subject in more detail than many others. It’s a simple fact that the damage is cumulative, and anything registering above 85dB is a known risk factor, with complex health and safety guidelines in the workplace that dictate the time and exposure levels that can be sustained, and the correct protection SNR (Single Number Rating) required of supplied protection. Given that gunfire is well into the 130-plus decibel region, and sound moderators don’t make as much difference as you might hope when firing in great quantity, I started to look around for an ear defender unit that suited my needs: all-day wear, highest possible SNR protection, and electronic noise transmission to be able to communicate easily when instructing. Earshot Communications is authorised to carry out 3M Peltor repairs and uses only the manufacturer's genuine parts for the repairs. s reputation as one of the best hearing protection brands is definitely deserved and the Peltor SportTac ear defenders are certainly a great option.

If you enjoy shooting, you definitely need proper hearing protection. Guns are extremely loud—even .22 rifles are capable of 140 dB. If you’re in the market for a pair of electronic ear defenders to protect your hearing whilst shooting, you can hardly go wrong with either of the options we’ve discussed. In addition some ear defenders have built-in two way communication systems so you can listen and speak to your fellow shooters. This is particularly useful for shoot captains who want to talk to beaters or keepers. In contrast to regular passive ear defenders, electronic ear defenders cut out high-volume sounds and amplify low-volume sounds, so you can still hear quieter noises like people speaking or bird sounds with your ear defenders on.The Peltor Ear Defenders are an intelligent active hearing protector, with a smooth adjustment of the hearing protector's level dependant function which gives the user particularly pleasant sound reproduction and less interference. The unique digital audio circuit of the 3m Peltor Ear defenders eliminates the abrupt sound cut-off that characterises many level dependant hearing protectors on the market. The Peltor SportTac system reacts so gently that in most cases, you'll never hear the cut-off when the protector is activated. sounding simply, as though nothing has happened. Optional orange shells are also included with the Peltor Ear defenders to coincide with country regulations. Peltor Ear Defenders Features An interesting thing to be aware of is that the decibel scale isn’t linear. An increase of 10 dB equals roughly a doubling of the perceived volume. This means that a decrease of 30 dB (via the use of ear defenders) equals roughly 1/8 th of the perceived volume. The 3M Peltor SportTacs offer a cheaper option with a higher attenuation rating. They’re slightly bulkier than the MSA Sordin ear defenders, but still remain comfortable.

The waterproofing on the battery compartment and optional gel earseals are an excellent bonus for people who’ll be wearing them for a long time whilst out in the elements. If sounds over 85 dB are loud enough to cause hearing damage, how can ear defenders with an SNR of just 30 dB protect us from the sound of gunshot? Thankfully we’re all much more aware of the need to protect ourself today because a shoot day can be very noisy. Most 12-bore gunshots produce a sound of around 150 to 160 decibels (db), while a .30-06 rifle with a 24in barrel produces around the same. Consistent exposure to sounds of more than 95db is bad, and noises of more than 120db can cause permanent damage to your hearing in seconds. Read our piece on why you should always wear ear defenders when shooting. A. The Peltor Sporttac has a foldable headband which reduces the size of the headset dramatically making it very portable. The MSA Sordin Supreme PRO X ear defenders have some nice features that make them a tempting option for anyone who doesn’t want to wear something as bulky as the 3M Peltor SportTacs.
