What is the difference between the baby banz "noise protection" earmuffs v. "hearing protector" earmuffs?

Hearing protecting earmuffs are for maximum noise blocking. We just took our 3 year old to a NASCAR race with the hearing protecting earmuffs from banz and she was actuallt able to take a short nap. I would highly recommend them. Noise protecting is More for reducing noises and would be better for sounds like chainsaws or hammering for example. The hearing protecting seem more padded but my daughter was able to still hear us talking to her when we were close.

I do not believe any ear muffs will totally block all the noise. I shoot a very loud mid-length AR-15 and have no issues with the Walkers EXT. They do a very good job protecting my hearing.

They ARE relatively expensive as there are only 8 guards in each dispenser. Each guard is attached to a tiny tool that is used to remove the old one and install the new one. If you look under a microscope at the details of how they are made, they contain a tiny metal screen encapsulated in a white plastic ring that snaps on the end of your hearing aid. It keeps ear wax from getting inside the electronics and tiny speaker. A quality rubber "ear bud" will prevent ear wax from getting to the guard so that you rarely have to replace the wax guards .

Mine is in a free-standing workshop and I do use earmuffs when it's running.It is not as loud as some but any of these systems might wake your kids two floors up.

I think your confusing a `hearing aid' and a `hearing devise'. The Walkers is a hearing devise, which increases the volume of ALL sound, while an actual hearing aid is much more selective (and much more expensive).

On the ear are headphones that actually rest on the ear, and don't cover it. They are usually designed to create a suction between the foam of the ear piece and your ear; the better the suction the more noise blocked out. On the ear headphones will cover your entire ear. These usually offer better sound and comfort, though they are usually much larger than on the ear. What is better is person preference and usually dependent open the situation.

I have not compared these two products. Mine are as loud as any that I have tried. I have enjoyed mine.

This is really a google search for a definition of a term. Not exactly a review of a product. They are noise isolating and do it well. Read this to learn what noise isolation means.http://lifehacker.com/5770258/the-difference-between-noise-isolating-and-noise-cancelling-headphones

They are much more comfortable than wearing either "on" the ear or "over" the ear head phones for long periods. They do not block extraneous sounds from being heard. This is either good or bad depending on the conditions. Good if you re walking and want to be aware of walkers or runners coming up behind you but not so good if you want to block out conversations of fellow workers in open areas.

Wouldn't know. I've never tried earmuffs. On an airline flight to was fabulous in cancelling the engine hum that is ever-present.

I really don't think there is much difference, maybe a little more waterproof. They have the same or similar at any auto-parts or store that sells auto stuff. I am handicapped where it is hard for me to get out and walk around the stores. So I do most of my shopping on-line.

Yes. My son is on a shooting team and wears the plain and electronic earmuffs and hasn't had any trouble.

Although these are awsome at protecting your hearing, I would recommend a smartphone with a noise generator app with a set of in ear headphones. Not exactly 'noise cancellation' but it will give your ears something else to focus on. I wish these protectors had a mother-in-law setting.

It's nose isolation just by the closed ear design. Works pretty well, just not specifically a feature (a small amount of outside sound still gets through)

I'm not sure if noise isolation is the same as hearing protection, but I do use them when operating my riding lawnmower and my gas chainsaw, and that sound is minimized to where I can hear and enjoy music from my ipod. When the music is not playing the sound is lessened so much that many times I have to pull out 1 plug so I can tell when the chainsaw/mower starts so I can adjust the choke to complete the start.

I don't really know for sure as I only purchased the large size. However, I have to tell you that I don't think they really help. I put them over my own ears and they did not muffle the sound nearly as much as human ear muffs.

You can wear the earmuffs. You put on the faceshield, lift the shield, adjust ear muffs and then lower shield. It seems to work for me.
