Frequently asked questions about communication in noisy environments

We are required to wear hearing protection at our workplace, but need to lift our earmuffs to hear each other speak.

You should choose a product with electronic ambient sound that allows you to carry out normal conversations with each other without lifting your earmuffs.

I use a machine with that gives off high noise levels. We need to always wear hearing protection, but I need to regularly be in contact with my colleague who works on the other side of the machine.

In order to be able to communicate from a distance, use a hearing protector with Bluetooth technology or a built-in communication radio for high quality communication.

What is the range of hearing protection with a built-in communication radio?

It all depends on local conditions. Outside in an open field, the range is several kilometers. In a factory where there is interference from walls, the range is significantly shorter. To ensure that the equipment works well locally, you can test the equipment before purchasing it. Contact Ahlsell if you are interested.

For some jobs, I need to wear a respirator with a fan. I also have hearing protectors because of the noise level and need to be able to talk to my colleague.

There are solutions where you have the microphone inside your fan hood (a throat microphone or e.g. Sundström’s T09-0001 microphone.

Can I receive “regular” phone calls in a communication headset?

Naturally, you can receive phone calls in a communication headset with built-in Bluetooth functionality. However, whatever is being communicated over the two-way radio will always be heard over your phone call.
