  • SensGard Hearing Protection

    Until now, hearing protection of any kind has always had one major drawback. To protect you from loud, irritating and potentially harmful noise, the old technology had to shut out important sounds, too.
    Click here to view a video of the SensGard Hearing Protection Devices

    SensGard has the solution. Our headsets, using ZEM-based technology, revolutionize hearing protection by literally cancelling the loudest, most damaging noise while allowing the important words of a co-worker or other critical sounds to be heard. Calmly discuss operations with a colleague while heavy equipment drones on behind you… hear essential performance related conversations… catch an associate's warning, and… at less than 2 ounces they are comfortable enough to wear all day long.
