FAQs
What is Protection Level 2?
Protection Level 2 indicates that these ear defenders are suitable for noise environments with sound levels typically ranging from 90 to 110 decibels (dB).
How do I know if my helmet is compatible?
The Hellberg Secure 2 is designed to fit most popular industrial safety helmets. Look for helmets with dedicated mounting slots or systems designed for earmuff attachment. If in doubt, consult the specifications for both your helmet and the ear defenders.
How often should I replace the ear cushions?
It is recommended to replace the ear cushions when they show signs of wear, are dirty, or if you notice a decrease in noise reduction or comfort. This typically ranges from 6 months to a year of regular use, depending on conditions.
Can I use these earmuffs without a helmet?
No, these are specifically designed as 'helmet mounted' ear defenders. They rely on the helmet's attachment system for proper fit and function. They do not have an independent headband for standalone use.
Are these suitable for very loud noises over 110 dB?
Protection Level 2 is rated for 90-110 dB. For noise levels consistently above 110 dB, you would need hearing protection with a higher protection level (e.g., Level 3 or 4) or supplementary hearing protection.
How do I clean the ear defenders?
Wipe the exterior and cushions with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure they are dry before storing or using.
Can I combine these with other PPE like safety glasses or face shields?
Yes, the design aims for integration with face protection. Ensure that wearing them together does not compromise the seal of the ear defenders or the fit of any other PPE.
Troubleshooting
Ear defenders do not attach securely to the helmet.
Verify that the helmet has compatible mounting slots or points. Ensure the mounting arms are correctly aligned and fully engaged. Consult your helmet's manual and the ear defender's instructions for proper mounting procedures.
Hearing protection feels insufficient for the noise level.
Confirm that the noise level is within the Protection Level 2 range (90-110 dB). Ensure the ear defenders are worn correctly and create a proper seal around the ears. Check that cushions are intact and not worn out. Replace cushions if necessary. If noise levels consistently exceed 110 dB, a higher protection level earmuff or different hearing protection solution may be required.
Ear defenders are uncomfortable or cause pressure points.
Adjust the headband or helmet mounting system for a better fit. Ensure the ear defenders are not too tight. Rotate the wearing positions if available. Replace worn-out cushions, as they can affect fit and comfort.
Ear defenders snag on objects.
While designed with a slim profile, be mindful of your surroundings. Ensure the ear defenders are properly secured to the helmet and are positioned to minimize outward protrusion where possible. Tuck away any loose straps or cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure you have a compatible safety helmet. The "snap-in" or mounting system will vary slightly by helmet manufacturer, but the Secure 2 is designed for broad compatibility.
Align the mounting arms of the ear defenders with the helmet's attachment points.
Gently push the arms into place until they click or securely lock. Verify they are firmly attached.
Adjust the headband or mounting mechanism for a snug, comfortable fit that creates a seal around your ears.
Compatibility:
Helmets: Approved for use with most popular industrial safety helmets. Always check specific helmet manufacturer guidelines if unsure.
Face Protection: Designed to integrate with various face shields and visors without compromising fit or protection.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the ear defenders and the cushions with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
Cushion Replacement: The "snap-in" system allows for easy removal and replacement of ear cushions. Replace cushions when they become worn, dirty, or lose their sealing properties to maintain optimal noise reduction and hygiene.
Storage: Store the ear defenders in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective bag or container, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
