10 |DC2 HEARING PROTECTION SYSTEM
Caution
Inserting or removing custom the earplugs too quickly may result in air
pressure or suction against the eardrum causing temporary pain. The
earplugs should be inserted or removed slowly with a twisting motion to
prevent excess pressure buildup. Gently moving the earplug while opening
the jaw fully may remove excess pressure buildup.
Prolonged use of the earplugs (exceeding several hours) may result in
temporary soreness near the ear canal. Use of solid earplugs such as the
CTE30X may reduce the risk of this irritation when compared to expandable
foam type plugs. The use of the earplugs may require a “break-in” period to
accustom the ear canal to the presence of the earplug.
In order to ensure maximum performance, the ear canal should be clean and
free of excess ear wax and debris before inserting the earplugs. Long term
usage of the earplugs could result in the buildup of ear wax within the ear.
In the event that ear wax or debris becomes impacted in the ear canal, seek
medical consultation.
When not in use, store the earplugs in the earcups. Surfaces that have been
dyed should be avoided to prevent the possibility of having the dye transfer
onto the earplugs. The earplug surfaces should remain clean and free of
other contaminates that could cause irritation of the ear canal such as sand
and grit.
The earplugs should be cleaned periodically with warm, soapy water to
prevent buildup of dirt and bacteria. Ear inammation, otitis externa, or other
infection could result from the use of dirty earplugs. In the event of pain or
discharge from the ear canal, seek medical consultation.
CTE30X earplugs are made from an immunologically inert material,
and allergic reactions would be rare. In the event an allergic reaction is
suspected, discontinue use, and seek medical consultation.
Do NOT hang or swing the headset by the earplugs or the tether.
