In-ear hearing protection for firefighters

Savox, a global provider of mission-critical communication solutions, announced Savox Fire Protect, a fully integrated firefighter communication system combining active in-ear hearing protection and wireless push-to-talk (PTT) in a single, purpose-designed solution.

Firefighters operate in high-noise, high-risk environments where communication clarity, hearing protection and ease of use are essential. Existing solutions typically require trade-offs between audio quality, hearing protection, usability or resistance to heat. Passive hearing protection can reduce situational awareness, while current wireless PTT solutions are often ergonomically compromised when used under protective clothing or with heavy gloves.

Remove compromises

Savox Fire Protect provides firefighters with a complete communication solution that combines active hearing protection, clear audio and intuitive wireless PTT operation. The system can be worn over or under fire-resistant protective clothing, or under a chemical diving suit, without restricting movement or usability.

The solution consists of the Savox NC-100 active in-ear headset with internal microphone, the Savox TRICS C2 radio control system, and the Savox W-P100 wireless PTT control unit. All elements are designed for reliable operation in demanding firefighting conditions and for use with standard protective equipment.

“The requirements of firefighters differ fundamentally from those of other professional users,” said Elmeri Backman, portfolio manager, Savox Communications. “Savox Fire Protect is purpose-designed for firefighting operations, ensuring reliable communication, active hearing protection and ease of use without compromise.”

The individual technologies used in Savox Fire Protect are based on Savox solutions that have been extensively deployed in real-world military and rescue operations globally. With Fire Protect, these proven technologies are brought together into a fully integrated system tailored specifically for firefighting applications.
