radio communication in noisy areas
(OP)
I work on a dredge in the engine room.
Sometimes we need to communicate in the engine room by radio(UHF or VHF).
We now have radios with headphones that have a microphone boom.
It is close to impossible to get yourself heard over the noise.
Who has good experience with other solutions, i heard about microphones that you plug in your ear.
What brand is the best renown for this?
any info is welcome.
thanks, slofke

You need a microphone that specifically claims "noise canceling" as a feature.

Does anybody have experience with those microphones which are built in "in-ear plugs"?

Peltor Dectcom with a Tactical SP headset is the best solution, but not cheap.
If you want a straight headset for your radio I would go for a Peltor Flex eardefender headset. I would NOT advise a throat mic, than can be pretty unintelligible if they aren't being worn correctly

I got to a site where I now ordered an "in-ear" microfone set to try out. I can use this in combination with my peltor earmuffs.
Hope it works, else i gonna try the throat mic.
