NOIZEZZ en CM.com Circuit Zandvoort sluiten partnerschap

Hoofddorp, 22 december 2022 – NOIZEZZ, de fabrikant van gehoorbeschermers, oorstukjes en specials uit Hoofddorp en CM.com Circuit Zandvoort gaan een partnerschap aan om maatwerkoplossingen voor rijders op het circuit te stimuleren. Door maatwerk te leveren voor geluidsfiltering helpen we gezamenlijk een betere ervaring op het circuit te waarborgen, waarbij filtering van geluid voor de rijder in de cockpit centraal staat om hem beter te beschermen.

Dé thuisbasis van de Dutch Grand Prix en vele race-evenementen en trackdays. Al bijna 75 jaar een icoon in de Nederlandse autosportgeschiedenis. CM.com Circuit Zandvoort biedt jaarlijks een zeer uitgebreide en gevarieerde kalender vol spectaculaire topevenementen en internationale hoogtepunten met de GT World Challenge, het DTM Endurance weekend en natuurlijk de Historic Grand Prix. Het uitdagende circuit wordt door veel coureurs geroemd vanwege de unieke ligging, de uitdagende bochten en de bijzondere accommodatie.

Als partners gaan NOIZEZZ en CM.com Circuit Zandvoort samen zorgen voor een prettigere geluidservaring door filtering van geluid in de cockpit en hiermee de rijders optimaal te beschermen. De samenwerking start met een overeenkomst van drie jaar, waarbij continu gekeken wordt hoe we rijders zo optimaal mogelijk kunnen bedienen.

Maatwerk staat centraal binnen de overeenkomst, optimaal draagcomfort, en spraakverstaanbaarheid zijn belangrijke kernpunten waar NOIZEZZ zich op richt en internationaal toonaangevend in is, mede door de ontwikkelingen in het eigen laboratorium.

Beschermd en optimaal genieten op het circuit

David Kasten, Head of Commerce CM.com Circuit Zandvoort: “Wij streven samen met onze baanhuurders naar de ultieme gebruikerservaring tijdens het rijden. Geluid is een belangrijk onderdeel van beleving en gevoel in de auto. Samen met partner NOIZEZZ zullen we nieuwe mogelijkheden bieden om het gehoor extra te beschermen zonder het gevoel met de auto kwijt te raken.”

Mark van Dijk, CEO NOIZEZZ: “Er is een groeiende bewustwording bij de meeste professionals in de motorsport en op het racecircuit. Ze zijn zich steeds meer bewust van het belang voor het gehoor. NOIZEZZ gaat helpen met goede bescherming. Dat kan met onze nieuwe EarBeanz, de Premium oplossingen maar nog beter met op maat gemaakte gehoorbeschermers. Samen met CM.com Circuit Zandvoort gaan we in verschillende campagnes bijdragen in hoe het gehoor maximaal te beschermen terwijl de beleving volledig in tact blijft.”

Op 19 december werd het partnerschap officieel bekend gemaakt op het Circuit van Zandvoort. De ambassadeurs van NOIZEZZ Allard Kalff en Jaap van Zweden waren hierbij aanwezig om ook hun visie op het belang van gehoorbescherming in de auto- en motorsport te benadrukken.

Als musicus en chef-dirigent onderschrijft Jaap van Zweden de noodzaak van gehoorbescherming. Tijdens zijn werk wordt er al veelvuldig gebruik gemaakt van op maat gemaakte gehoorbescherming, waarbij de nadruk ligt op filtering van het geluid op bepaalde schadelijke frequenties zonder verlies aan kwaliteit. Van Zweden heeft nu ook het effect van soortgelijke bescherming in de auto ervaren ,door begeleid met een instructeur snelle ronde over de baan te rijden. “Wat een ervaring om op deze manier een auto te kunnen besturen op deze snelheden. Racen op een circuit is totaal anders dan rijden op de weg, dus het opvolgen van de aanwijzingen van de instructeur is dan heel erg belangrijk. Met de filtering van de NOIZEZZ gehoorbeschermers werden de bijgeluiden in de auto goed gefilterd en kon ik de instructeur prima volgen, maar belangrijker nog, ik durfde met vol vertrouwen gas te geven.” Aldus Jaap van Zweden. Daarnaast benadrukt Van Zweden nog maar eens dat je zuinig moet zijn op je gehoor.

“Mijn hele leven gebruik ik gehoorbescherming. Een jaar of wat geleden ontdekte ik de op maat gemaakte gehoorbescherming van NOIZEZZ. Niet alleen dempt het beter, ze zitten ook veel comfortabeler en hoor en ‘lees’ ik de auto beter door het wegfilteren van bijgeluiden. Nu heb ik na bijvoorbeeld de 24 uur van Le Mans niet alleen bescherming gehad, maar ook geen pijnlijke oren meer. Dubbel gewonnen zeg maar.”
Allard Kalff komt al jaren op verschillende circuits, in en naast de auto. Ook hij geeft aan veel baat te hebben bij maatwerk.

NOIZEZZ is geen onbekende in de motorsport. Begin 2021 ging NOIZEZZ al een partnerschap aan met De Koninklijke Nederlandse Motorrijders Vereniging (KNMV) om motorrijders te wijzen op het belang en de voordelen van gehoorbescherming bij het motorrijden. Met het Molenaar NSF100 Championship werd in het najaar van dit jaar een partnerschap afgesloten om het NSF100 team van jong motortalent te begeleiden met advies en op maat gemaakte gehoorbescherming.

Hearing protection; why it’s important

We live in a world with a lot of noises. This is a good thing: sound gives you experience and being able to communicate is a life-line. But sometimes everything is just too loud. If you visit a club or concert for example, but also at work. Your hearing is vulnerable and deserves attention. The sound level in a busy restaurant is sometimes at the verge of a safe sound level. Let alone how the decibels shoot upwards if you are at a festival. When are you safe? And how can you take measures?

When does sound become harmful?

The safe limit to which you can expose your hearing is 80 decibels. Being regularly surrounded by sounds above 80 decibels results in irreversible hearing loss. Sounds of 120 decibels may immediately damage your hearing. How harmful sounds are between 80 and 120 decibels, depends on how often and for how long you are exposed to it. In general, you could say that each increase of 3 decibels, triggers a doubling in the noise level.

To give you an idea of how quickly sound can be harmful, below you see you an overview of the number of decibels in certain situations and the time you can be exposed to it without incurring in hearing loss.

How does hearing loss occurs?

What exactly happens when you suffer from hearing loss? It is all about the cilia in the inner ear (cochlea). The cilia are tiny and are moved by sound waves. The cilia then transmit a signal through the auditory nerve to the brain where it is perceived as sound. In case of loud sounds and prolonged observation of (medium) loud sound, the cilia may be overloaded and break down. Damaged cilia transmit wrong signals by to the brain: this is the annoying beep you hear! If more and more cilia break down, you are at risk of tinnitus. This is a constant beep, forever. More and more young adults get to deal with this. When eventually not enough cilia remain to transmit sound to the brain, you slowly become hard of hearing.

NOIZEZZ hearing protection

The passion of NOIZEZZ is to let people enjoy sound optimally and safely. The principle is protecting the hearing, without losing speech intelligibility and (musical) nuances. The quality of NOIZEZZ hearing protection equipment is unrivalled. This is due to the unique filter system and the smart design.

How do the special NOIZEZZ filters work to dampen sound?

NOIZEZZ has two types of filters that dampen (too loud) noises that cause hearing loss, but do not distort sounds. No ‘weird’ sound, just enjoyment, but safely. Both types of filters are available in four different strengths: Mild, Medium, Strong and Extreme.

NOIZEZZ filter

The NOIZEZZ filter is characterized by its nuanced damping. Certain frequencies are dampened more than other frequencies and that is convenient in certain situations. For example, in the industrial sector or if you ride a motorbike. Due to the special mesh filter speech intelligibility remains good.

NOIZEZZ music filter

The music filter is characterized by its flat damping. The sound is dampened about equally over all frequencies. So, it is just as if you turn the volume a bit lower. As a result, musical nuances and speech remain perfectly audible.

Hearing protection is not a mere luxury, also not in everyday life. Give yourself and your ears the best quality hearing protection equipment. Listen with care!
