Proper communications equipment is essential for police motorcycle officers, firefighters and other public safety professionals.

Hearing loss is rapidly becoming one of the most common and overlooked occupation-related impairments, and noises emitted by emergency vehicles, engines, sirens and pumps are at such a volume to pose significant threats to motor officers' and firefighters' hearing over time.

Since there is no cure for hearing loss, it is extremely important for personnel and departments to take every measure possible to prevent it. The right intercom system, headsets and helmet kits can protect firefighters and law enforcement motorcycle officers.
