What is the SNR value?
Ear protection must reduce the so-called SNR value (Single Number Rating) to below 85 dB (A). If there is noise at the workplace of 100 dB (A) and the ear protection has an SNR value of 23 dB, then the subsequent hearing load is 77 dB, so below the legal limit of 85 dB.
You will find the SNR value of our ear protection items in our online shop under the product description.
