ELECTRONIC NOISE CANCELING SAFETY EARMUFF AT AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR SAFETY
ENGINEERS EXPO FORT PIERCE, Fla., June 9, 2006 – Pro Tech Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:PCTU) will showcase the NoiseBuster® Electronic Noise Canceling (ENC) Earmuff at the American Society for Safety Engineers Expo 2006, June 11-13 in Seattle. Detailed product information is available at www.noisebuster.net. Unlike traditional passive-only earmuffs and earplugs, the NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff provides more complete protection from a wider range of noise frequencies, particularly the low frequency noise generated by engines, motors and fans that is prevalent in many industrial settings. The passive component of the NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff has a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26dB (when worn over-the-head) and 25db (when worn behind-the-head) and the ENC component provides as much as 20dB of added noise reduction within the low-frequency bandwidth of 20-800 Hz. The earmuff is priced at $149. The NoiseBuster’s audio input feature also makes it an excellent choice for do-it-yourself users of lawnmowers and power tools who want to listen to music, as well as for motor sports fans when used in conjunction with scanners (devices that allow fans to hear the radio communications of race car drivers and pit crews). For audio to be heard in the presence of noise it must be overamplified above the noise, thereby creating a possible hearing hazard. The NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff cancels background noise so that music can be enjoyed at safer volume levels. The product delivers excellent audio quality, comparable to that of higher-priced, noise canceling audio headphones currently on the market. “We believe the NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff is a true breakthrough in industrial hearing protection,” said Richard Hennessey, President, Pro Tech. “Passive earplugs and earmuffs are effective against mid- and high- frequency noise, but they lose their effectiveness at 500 hertz and below. Electronic low frequency noise cancellation delivers an additional level of protection and enables workers to hear crucial sounds such as speech and warning signals.” Mr. Hennessey continued, “Additionally, at this price point, many consumers can benefit from using the product while engaged in high-noise activities such as mowing the lawn. The NoiseBuster is an affordable and enjoyable solution because users can listen to music without overamplification or distortion. And motor sports fans won’t miss one minute of the action on the scanner but can listen safely.” The NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff is powered with a single AA battery. The unit is resistant to water, moisture, contaminants, mechanical shock and vibration. The product features soft, pliable ear cushions and an adjustable, extra-wide headband that can be worn over-the-head or behind-the-head. The unit is warrantied for one year.
