Hearing Protection and Communication Solutions for Data Centers
Data centers are growing exponentially across the world. With large servers, network switches, routers and air conditioning equipment, these facilities inherently produce high levels of ambient noise that impacts employee health and their ability to effectively communicate.
The high-noise levels at data centers create challenging working conditions for both technicians and visitors. Not only are hearing and communication adversely affected, but the continuous fan and ventilation noises can negatively impact the concentration needed for performing complex cognitive tasks. For safety reasons, most data center environments require data center hearing protection, especially for employees working long shifts.
Data center workers must be able to communicate with colleagues and customers within the data center and on the outside. Traditional hearing protection or noise-canceling headsets can restrict their ability to communicate. Sensear headsets allow users to connect via two-way radio, a Bluetooth device, face-to-face or short range—or connect with all the above. With Sensear’s Bluetooth pairing feature, workers can connect with colleagues or customers offsite via Teams while continuing to monitor operations within their facility.
According to an Aetna Group Health and Safety Data Center Audit, the continuous and intermittent fan noise within data centers can create sound pressure levels above 85 dB(A). According to the CDC noise exposure at or above this level for an 8-hour shift is considered hazardous.
Sensear Is Solving Hearing Protection and Noise-Suppression Solutions for Data Centers
Sensear’s range of Bluetooth® Headsets is powered by its groundbreaking SENS® (high noise communication) Technology that elevates speech and suppresses dangerous background noise so workers can hear speech and stay protected in high-noise environments. The result is increased job site safety with enhanced communication and vital 360° situational awareness.
Workers can have seamless face-to-face conversations with workers in the data center without screaming and communicate clearly on their Bluetooth-enabled data center noise-canceling devices, all while protecting their hearing. Sensear is the perfect solution for workers in a data center environment.
Hearing damage is preventable, but it cannot be undone. There is no surgery or cure for noise-induced hearing loss. Repeated exposure to high noise levels, such as working near machinery or operating heavy equipment, can lead to permanent hearing loss or tinnitus.
Sensear is solving high-noise communication problems for many of the world’s leading Data Centers and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) companies, including:

In Data Center Industry
Noise in a data center is an ongoing issue. As computing platforms have become denser and require large and robust cooling fans, the ambient noise in this environment reaches dangerous levels, especially for workers who are working long shifts. The constant "whoosh" of the cooling fans and equipment can cause stress and fatigue. For safety reasons, most data center environments require data center hearing protection.
