Peltor Optime
The Peltors Optime line of earmuffs incorporates all the acoustic engineering, comfortable design, and versatility that has made Peltor the leading choice in hearing protection earmuffs for over 50 years. The Peltor Optime line of earmuffs is designed with the worker in mind, whether it be a road construction crew, assembly-line floor, or on the deck of a aircraft carrier.
Optime Earmuff Key Features
Some of the premium features of these earmuffs include:
Liquid and Foam Filled Cushions – These are soft, broad rings that create the perfect seal over your ear while maintaining utmost comfort.
Wide Headband with Steel Suspension Band – Distributes pressure using the four-point suspension system while resisting warping and bending.
Earcup Pivot-Points – The pivot points allow wearers to adjust earcups to find the most comfortable configuration.
Choosing a Peltor Optime Earmuff
Choosing the correct model of hearing protection earmuff is crucial. If you choose too little sound attenuation, you are leaving yourself open to permanent hearing damage. If you choose too much attenuation, you may struggle to communicate with those around you causing the earmuffs to be taken off frequently to aid in communication. Too much attenuation also hinders the use of audio signals such as sirens and can make workers feel like they are isolated. This is where the Peltor Optime line of earmuffs shines. The models are named by the assessed noise level of a given environment. For example, if your site can reach 101 dBA without going over, then the Optime 101 is the right choice. If the site you are considering has assessed noise levels up to 102 dBA, then you should opt for the next size up which is the Optime 105. This is important to note: always round up to the next size available if your site sound level does not exactly match one of the noise levels given in the model names.
Peltor Optime Earmuff Models
Optime 95 - The lightweight OPTIME 95 earmuff features slim profile ear cups that fit well with most safety equipment such as eyewear and helmets. It can provide effective protection against the high-frequency noise associated with many common work areas including machine shops and power tools.
Optime 98 - The Optime 98 is the best, most versatile earmuffs on the market as it delivers proper protection for a broad range of work areas. If assessed noise levels peak at 98 dBA, there is no better choice than the Optime 98.
Optime 101 - Workers in the loudest environments require the best protection since even the lowest exposure can result in serious inner ear damage. The Optime 101 is best when assessed noise levels peak at 101 dBA, since it attenuates sound to a safe level so workers can perform their job with less hazard.
Optime 105 - Designed and developed to attenuate sound in only the most demanding noise environments. The Optime 105 has more mass and volume, allowing it to reduce structural resonances and provide maximum protection across the entire range of low to high frequencies.
