Introduction
Thank you for choosing PROHEAR 016 Shooting Ear Protection Safety Earmuffs. These earmuffs are designed to provide effective hearing protection in noisy environments, such as shooting ranges, hunting, industrial workplaces, and during activities like sawing or mowing. Proper use and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your hearing protection.
Safety Information
Your PROHEAR 016 earmuffs are certified to ANSI S3.19-1974 and CE EN 352-1 standards, offering a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26dB. To achieve the stated noise reduction, it is crucial to ensure a proper fit. Improper fit will compromise the effectiveness of the earmuffs and may lead to hearing damage.
- Always wear hearing protection in noisy environments.
- Ensure the earmuffs fully cover your ears and create a tight seal.
- Inspect earmuffs regularly for damage to ear cups, cushions, or headband. Replace if damaged.
- Keep earmuffs clean and store them in a dry place.

Setup and Adjustment
- Unfolding: Gently unfold the earmuffs from their compact position until the earcups are fully extended and the headband is open.
-
Adjusting the Headband: Place the earmuffs over your ears. Adjust the headband by sliding the earcups up or down along the metal wireframe until the headband rests comfortably over the top of your head and the earcups fully enclose your ears.

- Ensuring Proper Seal: Ensure that the ear cushions create a firm, comfortable seal around your ears. Any gaps will reduce the effectiveness of the noise reduction. Adjust hair, glasses, or other items that might interfere with the seal.

- Shooting ranges and hunting activities.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the earmuffs with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not immerse in water. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Ear Pad Replacement: The ear pads are designed for easy snap-in replacement. If ear pads become worn, cracked, or lose their cushioning, they should be replaced to maintain optimal noise reduction and comfort. Replacement ear pads can be purchased from authorized PROHEAR retailers.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the earmuffs into their compact form and store them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Reduced Noise Reduction: If you experience less noise reduction than expected, re-check the fit of the earmuffs. Ensure the earcups fully cover your ears and form a tight seal. Adjust the headband as necessary. Check ear pads for wear or damage.
- Discomfort: Adjust the headband position. Ensure no hair or accessories are caught under the ear pads. If discomfort persists, inspect ear pads for damage or improper installation.
