3M Peltor Optime I 27dB Protective Earmuffs & Headband. The Peltor Optime I 27dB earplug with headband is an excellent choice for those looking for reliable hearing protection in noisy environments. Made from durable ABS thermoplastic polymer, this earplug is specifically designed to offer versatile protection, is lightweight, and facilitates long-term use without causing discomfort. Its low profile contributes to a sleek and practical appearance, while its design allows for proper ventilation, minimizing heat and moisture build-up inside the earpiece. Comfort is one of the main factors that make the Peltor Optime I earplug highly sought after. With wide and soft pads filled with liquid, the pressure around the ears is significantly reduced, providing relief to the user. In addition, the ability to easily replace both the pads and inserts ensures that the earplugs are kept clean and in good condition, which is vital in various professional environments. Peltor has manufactured the Optime I 27dB not only for industrial applications, but also for wider use in outdoor activities. The ability to fit this earplug with a headband, neck support or helmet mount offers flexibility, making it ideal for a variety of work and leisure environments. In addition, the option of a Hi Visibility colour on request makes it even more attractive, combining protection and visibility in hazardous working conditions.

What is noise attenuation? The process of noise energy loss is called attenuation and it is the attenuation data that must be considered when selecting the appropriate ear protectors.
What is SNR? The SNR is a simplified description of hearing protector attenuation. The SNR value can be used to compare the level of noise attenuation offered by different hearing protectors. To determine the sound pressure in your ears, you subtract the SNR value from the average noise level measured. For example:
The noise level averages 99 dB.
Wear ear protectors with an SNR of 19.
So the sound pressure in your ears is on average 99 - 19 = 8th dB.
The higher the SNR, the higher the level of noise attenuation provided by the hearing protection.What is HML? A method of assessing hearing loss based on 3 parameters.
H = High
M = Medium
L = Low
The terms refer to the measure hearing of protector attenuation in high (H), medium (M) and low frequency dominated (L) noise.What are dBs (decibels)? Noise is measured in units of sound pressure levels called decibels (dB).
