Sensear Smart Hearing Protection
Sensear Smart Hearing Protection
Enhancing Communication in High-Noise Environments
CSE Crosscom has joined forces with Sensear, a global leader in smart communication technology, to deliver cutting-edge hearing protection solutions for high-noise industries. Whether in mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, or data centres, these advanced headsets and earplugs safeguard hearing while ensuring clear, continuous communication.
Equipped with SENS® Technology and 360° situational awareness, Sensear’s over-the-ear and in-ear devices keep teams connected, aware, and protected — even in the harshest conditions.
In the UK, approximately 2 million workers are exposed to potentially hazardous noise levels at work, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) continues to be one of the most commonly reported occupational diseases. In recent years, the number of industrial hearing loss claims has been increasing, particularly in sectors such as data centers, ground crews, manufacturing, construction, and the armed forces.
Between 2011 and 2021, the number of hearing loss-related claims rose significantly, with some law firms reporting a 10–15% annual increase in NIHL claims. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), employers’ liability claims for industrial hearing loss cost insurers over £90 million annually, with some estimates placing the total cost of noise-related compensation claims and associated expenses above £100 million per year.
These figures highlight a critical need: hearing protection must go hand-in-hand with enhanced communication and awareness. Simply blocking out noise without enabling clear communication and 360° situational awareness can introduce additional safety risks.
SENS® Technology: Intelligent Hearing Protection Redefined
Sensear’s patented SENS® (Speech Enhancement, Noise Suppression) Technology is transforming hearing protection in high-noise environments. Unlike conventional noise-cancelling systems, SENS® enhances speech clarity while actively suppressing hazardous background noise—allowing workers to communicate effectively without compromising their hearing protection.
Featuring 360° situational awareness, SENS® enables users to identify the direction, distance, and type of surrounding sounds—from alarms and forklifts to machinery and vehicles. The result is not only safer communication but heightened awareness of potential hazards in fast-paced, high-risk workplaces.
Communication Solutions for High-Noise Environments
Whether it’s staying connected over radio, having clear face-to-face conversations, or moving freely without sacrificing safety, smart radio communication solutions offer reliable performance in the most demanding environments. Explore the range below to find the ideal solution for your team’s communication and hearing protection needs.
The Sensear SM1R Series sets a new standard for two-way radio communication in high-noise environments. Drawing power directly from the radio, these headsets eliminate the need for internal batteries—minimizing weight and maximising comfort for all-day wear.
Featuring a noise-cancelling boom microphone and advanced SENS® Technology, the SM1R ensures clear communication while maintaining full situational awareness. Ideal for demanding settings like construction sites and manufacturing facilities, it offers dependable, high-performance communication without sacrificing safety.
In high-noise industries like mining and oil and gas, ensuring worker safety is a top priority—especially where traditional hearing protection falls short. Double hearing protection (DHP), combining earplugs and earmuffs, is often essential in environments over 110 dB(A), despite not being universally required by OSHA.
Though effective in reducing noise by an additional 4–8 dB, DHP can hinder communication and hazard awareness. To address this, Sensear’s Extreme Noise Headsets integrate earplugs within earmuffs and use SENS® Technology to maintain situational awareness, offering up to 36dB NRR. This advanced solution helps prevent hearing loss without compromising safety or communication.
Small in size but big on performance, Sensear’s Smart Earplugs offer outstanding hearing protection and clear communication in a sleek, in-ear design. Compatible with two-way radios and Bluetooth® devices, they’re perfect for workers who need freedom of movement and reliable clarity in high-noise environments.
Powered by SENS® Technology, these earplugs do more than block noise—they enable real-time communication, improve situational awareness, and help drive safer, more efficient operations across diverse industrial settings.
