FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

PRO TECH INTRODUCES NOISEBUSTER^® ELECTRONIC NOISE CANCELING EARMUFF AT NATIONAL HARDWARE SHOW
Innovative Technology Protects Against A Broad Range Of Noise Frequencies—Ideal For Use With Power Tools And Lawn And Garden Equipment—Product Demonstrations Taking Place At Booth 35349 (Central Hall) 

FORT PIERCE, Fla., May 9, 2006 – Pro Tech Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:PCTU) is introducing the NoiseBuster® Electronic Noise Canceling (ENC) Earmuff to the hardware and lawn and garden markets at this week’s National Hardware Show and Lawn and Garden World in Las Vegas.  The benefits of noise canceling technology have been understood by aviation and the military for many years.  The consumer audio industry has also adopted the technology and noise canceling headphones are often seen on airplanes and on noisy city streets.  Now this breakthrough technology is available to consumers in an earmuff that can protect their hearing while doing noisy household and lawn chores.

Unlike traditional passive-only earmuffs, the NoiseBuster Earmuff provides more complete protection from a wider range of noise frequencies, particularly the low frequency noise generated by lawn equipment and many power tools.  Low-frequency noise is particularly fatiguing and stress producing.  The passive component of the NoiseBuster Earmuff cuts mid- and high-frequency noise by as much as 26 dB.  The electronic noise canceling electronics provide up to 20dB of added low-frequency noise reduction.  The earmuff is priced at $149.

The NoiseBuster’s audio input feature makes it an excellent choice for do-it-yourself users of lawnmowers and power tools who want to listen to music while they work.  For audio to be heard in the presence of noise it must be amplified above the noise, thereby creating a possible hearing hazard.  The NoiseBuster Earmuff cancels background noise so that music can be enjoyed at safer volume levels.  The product delivers excellent audio quality, comparable to that of higher-priced, noise canceling audio headphones currently on the market. 

“At this price point, the NoiseBuster is an affordable and enjoyable solution for consumers who want to protect their hearing while using noisy power tools and equipment in the home and garden,” said Richard Hennessey, President, Pro Tech.  “In addition to protecting hearing, the product allows users to enjoy their favorite music, audio book or a ball game at safe volume levels while working.  We believe this product is a true breakthrough.”

The NoiseBuster ENC Earmuff is efficiently powered with a single AA battery.  The unit is resistant to water, moisture, contaminants, mechanical shock and vibration.  The product features soft, pliable ear cushions and an adjustable, extra-wide headband that can be worn over-the-head or behind-the-head.  The unit is warrantied for one year.

Members of the press can receive an evaluation unit by contacting Joanna Lipper at 203-226-4447 ext. 3506 or .
