Sensear Ear Muffs

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

Imagine, just for a moment, that shoes protected your feet, but they prevented you from walking. Or if gloves protected your hands but prevented them from grabbing things. What if glasses protected your eyes but prevented you from seeing?

The fact of the matter is that most ear muffs protect your ears but they prevent you from hearing and communicating!

That logic is what drove Sensear to successfully find a solution. Sensear Ear Muffs protect the ears and use what is called SENS (Speech Enhancement, Noise Suppression) Technology developed to amplify human voices and suppress background noise. This unique feature allows workers to communicate easily, while keeping their protection and productivity at an all time high!

The bottom line is that hours upon hours are wasted for a number of reasons:

  1. 1. Moving to quiet areas to communicate
  2. 2. Dealing with the complexity of communicating in high noise situations
  3. 3. Taking hearing protection off to communicate
  4. 4. Dealing with missed cell phone and two-way radio calls

If one worker, who makes $60,000 per year, wastes a mere 10 minutes per eight hour work day on any combination of these time wasters, that is over $1,500 per year down the drain. Multiply this by however many workers you have, and we’re talking about serious loss.

Sensear Ear Muffs help save your company thousands of dollars guaranteed!


Top Ten Ways to Avoid Allergies

Friday, August 19th, 2011

1. To avoid allergies, you need to find out what you’re allergic to

If your symptoms occur in the summer, you are probably allergic to grass and weed pollens

If your symptoms occur in the winter/spring, then you are probably allergic to tree pollens

If If your symptoms occur at work, then you are probably allergic to your co-workers…

2. Check your local weather reports for pollen counts. If pollen counts are high, stay inside

3. Leave your doors and windows closed

4. Mow the lawn as often as possible

5. Avoid mold. Don’t go outside too much on rainy days

6. Talk to your doctor

Well, unless this is your doctor…

7. Start eating healthy! Put down the cheeseburger and pick up a salad! (Not one from a fast food chain because those are just as unhealthy as most burgers!)

8. Exercise regularly. Don’t be a couch potato!

9. Avoid these cities (10 Worst Cities for Allergens)

Number 10: Madison, WI

Number 9: McAllen, TX

Number 8: Richmond, VA

Number 7: Dayton, OH

Number 6: Birmingham, AL

Number 5, Chattanooga, TN

Number 4: Jackson, MS

Number 3: Charlotte, NC

Number 2: Louisville, KY

Already live in one of these cities? I don’t know what to tell you…



If your city looks like this, avoid it!

10. If you are inside and your allergies still persist, then you may want to purchase some high-quality air filters. Without proper air filters, your home is subject to more allergens entering the air in your home or workplace. Check out these Aeolus Filters. They are dedicated to providing durable products combined with superior air cleansing technology. Also, HEPA AIRE Scrubbers are a great way to rid the air of allergens! With both of these products cleaning your air, you will get better results!

Allergies can strike anywhere – industrial, rural, or urban areas alike. Allergies can cause problems for children and adults, so stay safe!
