Ear
Muffs
Put pictures in here.
FIT:
1. Muffs resemble stereo headphones with adjustable foam-filled
or liquid-filled plastic cushions that cover the ears.
2. Make sure the cushions fit snugly against your head.
3. Keep hair from getting between the cushions and your head.
4. In most cases the best protection is achieved with the
earmuff band worn on top of the head rather than behind the
head or under the chin.
5. Cotton pads are available that fit inside the earmuff to
absorb perspiration and increase comfort.
CARE:
1. Clean cushions with a damp cloth or paper towel. (A dirty
device can cause serious skin irritation and ear infection.)
2. Replace cushions when they become hard or damaged, or after
3 months of routine use as recommended by the manufacturers.
Additional Information
1. Increased protection can be reached by wearing earplugs
and earmuffs together.
2. It generally takes 10 days to get used to hearing protection,
just as it takes a while to get used to a pair of new shoes.
3. Improperly worn hearing protection devices may not reduce
noise levels.
4. Hearing aids are NOT hearing protectors.
5. Persons with normal hearing always can detect some sound
while wearing hearing protection devices.
