The Walker's Silencer is an electronic earbud system designed to provide hearing protection while allowing users to control ambient sound levels. This device is ideal for situations where hearing protection is necessary, but the ability to hear surrounding sounds, such as conversations or environmental cues, is also important. The Silencer system comes with a comprehensive set of accessories to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for various users, as well as tools for maintenance and portability.
The primary function of the Walker's Silencer is to protect hearing from loud noises while simultaneously amplifying desired ambient sounds. This is achieved through electronic components within each earbud. Users can adjust the volume of amplified sounds using a dial located on the device. Turning the dial clockwise increases the volume, while turning it counterclockwise reduces it. This allows for a customized listening experience, enabling users to hear important sounds at a comfortable level without removing the hearing protection. The device operates on batteries, providing an estimated battery life of 80 hours, though actual life may vary based on temperature and battery brand. An ON/OFF slide switch controls the power to the unit, ensuring that the device can be easily activated or deactivated as needed.
The Walker's Silencer is designed for ease of use and a customizable fit. Each system includes a pair of left and right electronic earbuds. To ensure a secure and comfortable fit, the device comes with three sizes of Sure-Lock™ sizing fins (small, medium, large) for both the right and left ears, totaling six fins. These fins slide over the housing of the earbud and are positioned into the outer ear, helping to provide a good seal and secure placement. In addition to the sizing fins, the system includes three sizes of foam tips (small, medium, large), also totaling six tips. These foam tips are installed onto the foam tip post on the device. For proper insertion, users are instructed to roll and compress the foam tip between their fingers, then insert it into the ear and hold it in place for 10-15 seconds to allow the foam to expand and create a seal within the ear canal. It is crucial to test the fit with the unit in the OFF position to ensure a good seal, as a properly sealed Silencer will significantly reduce outside noise.
The Silencer also features an optional detachable lanyard. This lanyard can be inserted into the lanyard port on each earbud until it snaps in place, providing an additional layer of security against losing the earbuds, especially during active use. The inclusion of a carry case ensures that the earbuds and their accessories can be stored and transported conveniently and safely.
Maintaining the Walker's Silencer involves simple steps to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Battery installation is a key aspect of maintenance. To access the battery compartment, users must first remove the foam tip and rubber fin from the Silencer. Batteries are then installed using the magnetic brush/wand provided, which aids in handling the small batteries. A critical warning is provided: users should not mix new and old batteries, and they must pay attention to the positive (+) and negative (-) orientation during installation. After installing the batteries, the battery door should be closed.
The system includes a cleaning brush/magnetic tool, which serves a dual purpose. The magnetic end assists with battery installation, while the brush can be used to clean the earbuds, removing any debris that might accumulate during use. Regular cleaning helps maintain the device's hygiene and ensures that the sound ports remain clear for optimal audio performance. The detachable nature of the foam tips and rubber fins also facilitates cleaning and replacement, allowing users to maintain a fresh and hygienic device over time. The comprehensive set of accessories, including multiple sizes of foam tips and sizing fins, also allows for replacement of worn or damaged components, extending the life of the device.
