Additional text

This will involve procurement of active aural protection suitable for use by musicians.The hearing protection should be discrete in order to maintain appropriate appearance of ceremonial dress. They should provide impulse noise protection and must be suitable for outdoor use. Automatic protection should activate when hearing is at risk. This would require an adaptive system which reacts to dangerous noise levels.

The tender process is likely to include user trials, for which bidders will need to provide sample equipment.
