Noise canceling earmuff ideal for use with noisy power tools

Pro Tech Communications, Inc., Fort Pierce, Fla., has introduced the NoiseBuster Electronic Noise Canceling Earmuff.

The benefits of noise canceling technology have been understood by aviation and the military for many years. Now this breakthrough technology is available to consumers in an earmuff that can protect their hearing while doing noisy household and lawn chores.

Unlike traditional passive-only earmuffs, the NoiseBuster Earmuff provides more complete protection from a wider range of noise frequencies, particularly the low frequency noise generated by lawn equipment and many power tools. Low-frequency noise is particularly fatiguing and stress producing. The passive component of the NoiseBuster Earmuff cuts mid- and high- frequency noise by as much as 26 dB. The electronic noise canceling electronics provide up to 20dB of added low-frequency noise reduction.

The NoiseBuster's audio input feature makes it an excellent choice for do-it-yourself users of lawnmowers and power tools who want to listen to music while they work. For audio to be heard in the presence of noise it must be amplified above the noise, thereby creating a possible hearing hazard. The NoiseBuster Earmuff cancels background noise so that music can be enjoyed at safer volume levels. The product delivers excellent audio quality, comparable to that of higher-priced, noise canceling audio headphones currently on the market.

The NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff is efficiently powered with a single AA battery. The unit is resistant to water, moisture, contaminants, mechanical shock and vibration. The product features soft, pliable ear cushions and an adjustable, extra-wide headband that can be worn over-the-head or behind-the-head. The unit is warrantied for one year.
