Communication earplugs for noisy worksites

The most common reason hearing protection comes out mid-shift is that someone needs to talk. A plug lifted to answer a radio call is not attenuating anything for as long as it is out, and across a shift that adds up.

Communication earplugs solve it by putting the radio, phone or intercom audio inside the protection, so the seal stays intact and the conversation still happens.

The range

• Elacin RC BoomMic - headset microphone for use with a desk telephone or two-way radio.
• Elacin RC SoloCom and RC BoomMic & PTT - earplug plus push-to-talk speech unit for walkie-talkie and radio use.
• Elacin RC Tube - acoustic tube design for potentially explosive atmospheres, where electronics at the ear are not suitable.
• Elacin Class 5 Custom Earplugs with Bluetooth - wireless calls and audio with Class 5 attenuation. See also our Bluetooth safety earplugs.
• Shokz OpenComm 2 Industrial - bone conduction headset with a noise-cancelling boom mic, worn alongside earplugs so the ear canal stays sealed.

Works with the equipment you already have

The Elacin RC Communication range connects to common two-way radio, walkie-talkie and telephone systems, including Motorola, Kenwood and Sepura, and is compatible across the Elacin RC hearing protection range. In most cases there is no need to replace communication hardware you already own.

Speech intelligibility, not just attenuation

The Elacin RC filter is engineered to reduce noise while helping preserve speech intelligibility, so conversation and warning signals stay easier to follow than with a flat-attenuation plug. Every set is custom-moulded from an impression of the wearer's ear, which gives a consistent seal and comfort across a full shift.

• Filters selected to suit the measured noise level of the working environment
• Custom fit, shaped to the individual ear
• Designed to support communication without removing protection
• Compatible with the wider Elacin RC range, so sets can be extended later
