IMPACT DBLBO dB Buster OSHA-Compliant Elbow Filter

The IMPACT DBLBO dB Buster Elbow Filter is a passive hearing-protection accessory for compatible straight and coiled acoustic-tube earpieces. It is designed to reduce potentially dangerous high-decibel audio transmitted through a radio earpiece while allowing normal radio communications and safer sound levels to remain audible.

• Helps limit loud audio transmitted through a radio earpiece to approximately 80–85 dB.
• Blocks dangerous high-decibel sound while allowing normal-level radio transmissions to remain audible.
• Passive design requires no batteries, electronics, or moving components.
• Uses accelerated resonant decay to convert sonic energy into thermal energy through compression acceleration.
• Automatically increases sound reduction as incoming noise becomes louder.
• Available as an option for standard straight and coiled acoustic-tube products.
