Our experienced repair team uses specialised computer controlled equipment to ensure that each repair is completed to the same high standard, with our customers receiving the best possible service for each and every repair. With over 25 years’ experience in industrial, aviation and personal headset and eardefender repairs Earshot Communications is a true specialist with a wealth of knowledge that makes it one of the leading repair centres in the UK. The Peltor SportTac is an intelligent active hearing protector. The smooth adjustment of the hearing protector’s level dependent function gives the user particularly pleasant sound reproduction and less interference. I never shoot without ear defenders and, although they can feel bulky, electronic ones like the ProTacs with high-quality shielding and stereo control often benefit users in the field; you remain more integral to your surroundings and others around you, rather than being a little shut off and secluded ‘in your own world’. I can shoot a shotgun in defenders of this size, although some can’t and, although they look bulky, they are comfortable all day and that extra air volume within the shells does seem to stop your ears getting too hot. You can hear beaters, vehicles and quarry moving that you might not have been able to hear before. Look after your ears, a little bit of research can be very valuable, and it never hurts to ask why Peltor are world leaders in this field!

Earshot Communications is authorised to carry out 3M Peltor repairs and uses only the manufacturer's genuine parts for the repairs. Ear defence is rated in Single Number Rating (SNR), meaning it is an average over all frequencies. I have a theory that some electronic defenders still broadcast sound through them so loudly that these alone can give you some slight tinnitus after a long day, and I now regularly turn off entirely if I’m suspicious that they are. After all, it’s no different to wearing earphones with music blasting in! I can often be shooting all day for days in a row and, despite other ills, my ears currently work very well and I’d like to keep them that way. Due to the size of the rifles I shoot, regular muzzle brake exposure and the (often painful) experience of covered firing points, defending my eardrums is a serious priority for me personally, and I have researched the subject in more detail than many others. It’s a simple fact that the damage is cumulative, and anything registering above 85dB is a known risk factor, with complex health and safety guidelines in the workplace that dictate the time and exposure levels that can be sustained, and the correct protection SNR (Single Number Rating) required of supplied protection. Given that gunfire is well into the 130-plus decibel region, and sound moderators don’t make as much difference as you might hope when firing in great quantity, I started to look around for an ear defender unit that suited my needs: all-day wear, highest possible SNR protection, and electronic noise transmission to be able to communicate easily when instructing. The unique digital sound circuit eliminates the sharp sound clip that is typical for most level-dependent hearing protectors on the market. Many people find that sound unpleasant and disturbing. The new electronics in the Peltor™ SportTac™ hearing protector react instantaneously, protecting your hearing from loud impulse noises. The system reacts so gently that you rarely hear the clip as the protection is activated. Just like the other level-dependent hearing protectors from 3M, the SportTac hearing protector also enhances your hearing, so you actually hear better with the hearing protector than without it. The Peltor™ SportTac™ also allows you to connect your hunting radio directly to the headset.The Peltor SportTac is comfortable to wear, even on long shifts, making team-play more practical as well as heightening visibility safety. The protector is foldable for easy storage and transportation We have been repairing 3M Peltor products for almost 30 years and have industry leading experiencing in the repair of these items. Being a rifle shooter meant I could be a little more generous with the actual size of the defenders, and given my positive experiences of the use of Peltor units, I naturally looked there first... and last. Peltor’s SportTacs are a great unit that I still wear for hunting, but I wanted to go above 30dB of SNR. Health and safety guidelines state that from 100-105dB, 30+ is recommended, and you can see where this is going; we are noisy buggers, us shooters. Thankfully, out in the open, we don’t get too much reflection of sound, and it is mainly produced in intermittent bangs, rather than continuous noise, but given that I was getting a slight ringing noise in my ears every now and again, and a very slight continuous hiss, it was clear that damage was being done.
