Elacin Hygiene
Working in an industrial environment often involves being exposed to dust, lubricants, smoke and other harmful materials. Hearing protectors attract this kind of material. When combined with ear wax, there is also a risk of the sound canal becoming blocked, meaning that sound may be distorted or no longer heard. Elacin now offers the Hygiene kit and HygienePLUS kit, allowing you to look after your hearing protectors while still being aware of ambient noise. This combination of cleaning products allows you to clean your hearing protectors either daily or monthly as necessary.

Using the Elacin Hygiene and HygienePLUS kit not only ensures that hearing protectors have a long service life, but also ensures that they offer reliable protection (against noise-induced hearing loss) for people wearing them. An additional benefit for the wearer is that clean hearing protectors reduce the chance of developing ear infections.
Use our hygiene kits for maximum protection
It is often recommended to clean hearing protectors with soap and water, but this is not the best way to keep hearing protectors in top condition. This is because any water that is left in the cavity of the hearing protectors or in the noise filters can result in noises being temporarily heard differently, as is the case with ear wax, which interferes with hearing. Some users find this annoying and may be tempted to remove the hearing protectors to hear better. For hearing protectors to be as effective as possible, they should be worn throughout the period of exposure.
PLEASE NOTE: For RC filters (Elacin ClearSound) and ER filters (Elacin ER FlexComfort) only.
In order to preserve the characteristics of these filters, contact with water should be avoided at all times. These models contain noise filters with a membrane and are designed to provide even attenuation*. Water could neutralise the membrane and have a negative effect on it’s function. This is comparable with the effect that you hear when water enters your ear (and comes into contact with the eardrum).

At the end of every working day, spray a little disinfectant spray on the hearing protectors and use the little brush to remove excess dirt. Then use the wax remover tool supplied, if necessary, to remove ear wax from the sound canal.
Finally, dry the hearing protectors using the towel and store them in the case.

As well as straightforward daily cleaning, we also recommend that you clean your hearing protectors thoroughly every month. Remove the filters using the filter exchange tool and place the hearing protectors in the cleaning box with water and an effervescent tablet. Leave the hearing protectors to soak for an hour or so and then rinse them off with clean water. Dry the outside of the hearing protectors with the towel and use the air blower to dry the sound canal. Once you are sure that the sound canal is completely dry, put the filters back into the hearing protectors and store the hearing protectors in the case.
