Noise can damage hearing, as the hair cells in the inner ear convert sound into electrical signals while constantly working against sound pressure. Under continuous high noise exposure their energy supply becomes insufficient: the cells fatigue, their function deteriorates and hearing ability declines. This makes reliable hearing protection essential.
The uvex hearing protection portfolio includes earplugs, banded earplugs, earmuffs and custom-made otoplastics. At its production site in Tyringe, Sweden, SwedSafe combines modern manufacturing with its own research and development. Through international partnerships and global testing cooperations, the company has quickly become a leading manufacturer operating sustainably.
Since 2021, the uvex aXess one has offered a smart earmuff solution featuring Real Active Listening (RAL). This technology enables the perception of ambient noise, making communication in the immediate surroundings possible while wearing hearing protection. Warning and interference signals can also be detected more effectively. Bluetooth integration ensures seamless connectivity with mobile devices, maintaining accessibility despite wearing hearing protection.
This innovative earplug features a unique oval plug design that adapts optimally to the anatomy of the ear canal. The angled grip stems, modelled on the natural course of the ear canal, significantly reduce pressure in the ear. This ensures a comfortable fit even during prolonged use, while the preformed grip stems make insertion and removal particularly easy.
The uvex aXess series provides smart, active hearing protection with Bluetooth and Real Active Listening (RAL), allowing ambient sounds and warning signals to remain clearly audible despite attenuation. The uvex aXess one combines an SNR of 31 dB with memory foam sealing cushions, a foldable headband, Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, audio streaming and hands-free telephony. A sound level limiter and IP54 protection add further safety in everyday working environments.
