Otoplastics with interchangeable filters

Which filters to choose for otoplastics?

Otoplastics are custom-made hearing protectors specifically designed to protect the ears from harmful noise. They are commonly used in environments with high noise levels, such as construction sites, factories, concerts or even while motorcycling.

What sets otoplastics apart is their ability to be custom-made for the wearer, resulting in a comfortable fit that can be worn all day without discomfort. This customisation feature not only ensures comfort, but also an effective seal that significantly reduces noise levels.

Interchangeable filters play a crucial role in otoplastics because they allow the user to adapt the degree of sound protection to different environments. This is essential because not all situations require the same protection. For example, a loud concert environment may require higher attenuation than while working on a construction site where conversations still need to be heard. Our versatile filters provide this versatility, making otoplastics a valuable and customisable solution for hearing protection in a variety of environments.

Choice in filters

Otoplastics, such as those made by Ronell, are designed to both protect and preserve important environmental sounds during work activities. Instead of a complete attenuation of sounds, which may be undesirable in some situations, Ronell filters are characterised by an ingenious sound channel equipped with a filtering system.

This channel is designed to attenuate sounds based on their pitch, filtering out annoying noise while letting important sounds such as voices, sirens or horns through.

Ronell offers a range of filters that vary in attenuation, each suitable for different working environments and noise levels. The aim is to provide optimum attenuation that reduces the average daily noise level to around 80 decibels, which is considered safe for long-term noise exposure.

Here are some of the filters offered by Ronell, along with their attenuation capabilities:
