The Problem
Tragedy, is an event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress. Sometimes tragedies result from a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe. There’s not much that can be done about those problems. However, other tragedies, such as hearing loss from exposure to loud noise, are avoidable and are in your control.
Beethoven’s loss of hearing was a painfully ironic and truly great tragedy. It eventually led him into depression even to the point of considering suicide. Just think of it! Beethoven was the composer of ‘Ode to Joy’, a composition so brilliant and beloved that it was used as the European Anthem two hundred years after his death. Sadly, he could not delight to hear it for himself.
How much noise are you exposed to? For most pilots it’s enough noise to cause hearing loss. An article published by the FAA states: “tests conducted by the Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) demonstrated that all propeller-driven, fixed-wing aircraft and all helicopters are potential sources of damaging noise intensities”. Now think on how much you personally value the sound of your children’s laughter, the caring voice of your significant other, music, the waves crashing on the beach and on and on. How terrible it would be to lose these!
The Solution
The same article from the FAA states that private pilot’s need hearing protection. They go on to say: “experiments showed that the use of earplugs or similar hearing protection will prevent nearly every difficulty listed.” There are so many headsets to choose from that it’s difficult to decide. Therefore, we’ve provided some reasons to chose the Dalcomm Tech J1 pilot’s headset.
True Style: Protect yourself in style with the J1 carbon fiber pilot’s headset. It’s the Lambourghini of headsets.
True Protection: Trust the protection of Dalcomm Tech headsets because, real scientists say they’re safe. Dalcomm headsets are tested by an independant laboratory.
True Solutions: Dalcomm offers the best solutions for even the loudest aircraft.
- J1 Pilot’s headset: The J1 provides 23dB of passive noise reduction. That’s enough protection to bring the noise down below the published threshold for safety in many aircraft.
- J1-ANR: Add protection with ANR (Active noise reduction) and Bluetooth with the J1-ANR.
- J1-Dual: For very noisy equipment the J1-Dual with in ear communications buds Comply Tips from CEP for an additional 29dB of attenuation. Contact Us for ordering information on J1-ANR and J1-Dual.
