The WOLF Boom Microphone is compatible with the 2nd Generation of the WOLF Headset PRO (marked on the box or batch number ending in XX22). The WOLF Boom Microphone will also be forward compatible with all new Bluetooth hearing protection introduced by WOLF.

All WOLF hearing protection is limited to a maximum volume of 82 dB according to the EU regulation 2016/425 and the EN 352-8 standard. This helps to prevent any long-term hearing damage to the user. If you are experiencing low audio volume, remember to increase the volume on your device/phone and check if your device has “volume limit” activated. This applies to all PPE-certified devices sold in the EU

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) certification is a group of regulations that determines whether your gear is sufficient to protect you against the dangers of your everyday work environment. They are generally decided by the governing body of your region (e.g. the EU/EEA and an EU-directive/regulations)

When you buy hearing protection you are looking for a set that will reduce noise exposure to your ear to between 75-80 dB. Any hearing protection that reduces it below 70 dB is actually considered ‘overprotection’ according to EN 458:2016.

General regulations for protection levels are based on 8 hours days. There are situations where you can also be “over-protected”. You need to consider your daily or weekly noise exposure, the noise level of each, and how much time you spend on those particular tasks. If you spend less than 4 hours a day in a noisy environment you may need less protection. On the flip side, even if you only spend 15 minutes doing very noisy activities, you should look for a high-protecting headset.

SNR is the Single Number Rating system for hearing protection and attenuation levels. Every hearing protection has a specified SNR, and this simplifies comparisons between different headsets. The higher the SNR level, the more protection the product gives.

To meet the EN352 standards, WOLF hearing protection is tested in the following areas (subject to rigorous testing):

• Materials and construction

• Sizing and adjustability

• Cup rotation

• Headband force

• Cushion pressure

• Resistance to damage when dropped

• Change in headband force

• Resistance to leakage

• Flammability

• Minimum attenuation

• Marking

• Information supplied by the manufacturer
