HLM exchangeable filters

The linear innovation

Hörluchs® has developed a filter system which, in combination with the matching earmould, offers the customer a high degree of choice. In combination with the SOWEI UNLIMITED, the HLM exchangeable filters have a type examination certificate. This means that this hearing protection with its filter technology can be used in both the private and the commercial sector.
