Fall 2023 Showcase: ISOTunes Link and Aware

Well, George, as you know, we're big proponents here of hearing protection. What do you think? Uh we are and you really can't beat the hearing protection. Isot tunes provides a great decibel level of reduction to make sure your hearing stay safe. And with a broad array of products they have, there's something there for everybody, whatever your style is for hearing protection and the ability to listen to your music, talk on your phone all through that device, hard to beat. What, what I was gonna say, I was gonna say it never gets old, but I can tell from your face that it does. So, um hearing protection is so crazy important. There's like nothing in your shot virtually that doesn't exceed the safe level of decibels. Um And, and it is gonna blow your ears up. Well, it's true and I think George a lot of people kind of put it off for a while thinking I'll deal with that later when it starts to be problem hearing loss, but hearing loss is a cumulative and irreversible. So, being consistent. That's right. So it's right. So it's, it's so critical and that's one thing is you know, I, I am really um uh stickler about that and that goes for me and anyone else who's in my shop, I really, really encourage them to, to use it. So we were just talking about decibels and noisy stuff in your shop. So for this video, I really like this a little bit of a science fair approach that we took to this, which is we measure the decibel level on a bunch of common stuff in the shop so that we could show you what that is and really amplify the importance, see what I did there of uh wearing hearing protection. Let's check that out like no, I said, she got it right. No. And with tools, let me remember that safe level for your hearing is 85. Let's look at some other examples. So we know that anything over 85 decibels starts to damage your hearing. All those numbers are over 85 decibels. Here's that router I showed you now in my ears right now. I've got iso tunes free aware. They're protecting me from the noise of the router. But when Ernie talks, I can hear him perfectly because they'll protect me from the loud router while letting the noise of the sound of someone's voice come through. It's a crazy cool feature on these. If you work in an environment where you need to be able to hear people talk to you, you can fine tune that setting. So you can adjust it just right for the people that are around you to make sure you can. In fact, here now with Isot Tunes products. Of course, we can Bluetooth connect to a device so you can listen to music, you can answer your phone. All that activity has maintained here with free, just what it sounds like completely wireless. So if you don't like the idea of a wire hanging around your neck when I'm blacksmithing, I don't like having the wire on my sweaty neck. So I prefer the free for that application with the Isot Tunes link. These are my go to when I'm running the chainsaw. Now, there's a lot going on with running the chainsaw. I'm moving around a lot. I'm handling a heavy saw. In that case, I really like the protection that comes from having the muff style of hearing protection rather than the in ear style of hearing protection. Incredibly, with these link, 50 hours of battery life, a headband has been added. So again, working outside, running the chainsaw, moving around a lot, that headband adds a lot of comfort to these ear muffs. So with isot tunes, the technology just keeps moving forward and forward and forward. And it's really important that you understand, there's way more products than I'm showing you here and you can definitely evaluate your environment, what your needs are and you can find an isot tunes product that's gonna, gonna go along with those needs. But most importantly, put hearing protection on or in anytime you're running these noisy tools. So one of the things I wanna touch on, hit on again or some more is the aware function that if, if you're looking at isot products and it says isot toes aware what that means is that when this is in my ear, it's gonna take out anything that's gonna adversely affect my hearing. But if Paul says, let's go get a gin and tonic or did I say that out loud? Um If Paul talks to me, I can hear his voice, but it's still gonna cut out anything that is gonna, that's gonna hurt my hearing. And I love that for an environment where you're working with other people. Um I was just talking to a bunch of shop teachers the other day and we were talking about is itunes product. And I said for you high school teachers, this is the one you need totally because you want to know when they're saying, Mr Van Mr V. Good. You want to be aware, very aware of what's going on there. Um And the and the array of product line we've seen that grow so much for isot toes from um the very simple in your ear with the, with the wire hanging around your neck stuff to the completely wireless stuff to the over the ear stuff and then the introduction of the Aware line. So there's, there's really literally something there for everybody. It's very cool. And I've seen that with the microphones where they can, where they can filter out. Yeah. And this and two microphones I thought this is where you were going like on products like this where you can add a boom mic to get even better audio from your end if you're using this to get on the phone. So um it's worth you really, you really wanna dig down when you're looking at the product line and you'll find something that's right for you.
