With a 26 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), the 3M ProTac III uses level-dependent technology to suppress harmful impulse noises (like machinery or impacts) while amplifying ambient sounds below 82 dB. This allows you to talk to colleagues and hear warning signals without ever removing your hearing protection. Ideal for manufacturing, construction, and maintenance.

To guarantee long-lasting performance, it is essential to maintain the 3M PELTOR ProTac III earmuff regularly. Clean the cushions and headband with a soft cloth, replace the internal foams every six months, and protect the electronic system from moisture. Regular maintenance ensures reliable hearing protection and consistent comfort.
The earmuffs use external microphones to monitor ambient noise. If a sound exceeds safe levels, the electronic circuit limits the sound inside the cups. If sounds are quiet, the headset can actually amplify them so you don't feel isolated.
