Howard Leight Impact Sport
The Howard Leight Impact Sport series has been specifically designed to reduce hearing damage due to intermittent and impact noise environments.
In the workplace or outdoors - such as on the race track, gun range, or even at home riding your lawnmower - we encounter noise from a wide variety of sources. It may be a constant noise or intermittent noise; the noise may be loud, harsh, high pitched etc. Either way, its constant presence can damage hearing
In the workplace, the sense of hearing gets damaged at an accelerated - but unnoticeable - pace. There may be no evidence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) until long after the damage has been done. Once damage has been done, it is usually permanent but with proper information and education, it is totally preventable.
While protection from hearing damage is the most important quality, any hearing protection device should not cancel or block out essential sounds. The trick is how to achieve both the reduction of unnecessary noises to safe levels while allowing the sounds necessary to accomplish the task at hand. This is where Howard Leight Impact Sport range of ear muffs plays a crucial role.
Howard Leight Impact Sport keeps the wearer protected from unwanted hazardous noises connected with their workplace by using a built–in directional microphone to keep all noise within a safe limit of 82 dB. This provides for a more natural environment for listening and it enhances essential communication needed for work. The moment the noise level goes above 82 dB, the Howard Leight Impact Sport kicks in and it shuts off the amplification, thus maintaining a maximum limit of 82 dB, effectively blocking hazardous noise without the wearer being aware of it.
The Impact Sport has also been designed with comfort and ease of wearing in mind. The comfort of wearing any protective device is of crucial importance for acceptance in the work place. This piece of equipment has an adjustable headband and can be made to fit snugly around the ears with minimum effort and has been designed to provide superior protection even while wearing other types of PPE (personal protectiion equipment) such as face shields, hard hats and respirators.
For over 30 years, Howard Leight has been in the forefront in the fight against hearing loss due to hazardous noise in the workplace. They have built a reputation for exceding industry standards with a focus on high quality, comfortable, safety equipment.
Howard Leight has promoted many Hearing Conservation Programs to educate the public on Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). They hold many patents which have set the standards for the industry.
Listen to what others have said about Howard Leight Impact Sport:
- My job is with the Union Pacific Rail Road. The jobsite is very loud and it is imperative that we still can hear others for our safety. The Impact Sport series does a fantastic job.
- I have another pair of earmuffs made by a competitor to Howard Leight. The electronics in these work much much better. I was pleased that this pair came with the MP3 cord, which also connects to my phone, as was the batteries. Honestly, I tried listening to music while shooting but stopped because I think my focus needed to be on the targets not my listening pleasure.
- The Howard Leight Impact Sport I just purchased work exactly as I envisioned. They amplify sounds nearby such as voices so you can hear what others are saying. When the circuitry within the earmuffs sense loud noises like gunshots, it shuts off the amplifier. In this way the loud noises are not amplified and the normal noises you want to hear are still audible.
