3M Peltor Optime III 35dB Protective Earmuffs & Headband. The 3M Peltor Optime III 35dB black-red earmuffs with headband is a specialised protective device designed to effectively prevent noise in particularly disturbing and noisy environments. Thanks to the advanced technology applied in its construction, it offers top protection against high frequency sounds, which are often dangerous to hearing. The material from which it is made, the thermoplastic polymer ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), combines durability and lightness, ensuring that users can wear it comfortably for long periods of time. The unique design of the Peltor Optime III includes double casing technology, which helps minimize resonance effect and ensures maximum efficiency in attenuating sounds at both high and low frequencies. This makes it an apt choice for road construction sites, airports and other workplaces characterised by high noise levels and hazardous conditions. In addition, the earmuffs features flexible mounting options, such as neck or helmet mounting, providing the required stability and comfort during use. In addition to the black-red colour, it is also available in a high-visibility green (HiViz) colour scheme, which is suitable for environments where eye contact with the user is required, particularly in low visibility conditions. Thus, the Peltor Optime III earmuffs offers not only hearing protection but also visibility and safety to professionals in demanding work environments.

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).
