We make custom hearing protection devices manufactured exactly according to your ear’s unique shape!
Why is the use of hearing protection important?
Hearing loss possibilities while shooting are endless, but can be avoided by wearing proper hearing protection!
Wearing hearing protection is important because it can prevent noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus.
Noise-induced hearing loss can occur when loud sounds damage the sensitive structures in your inner ear, which can cause permanent hearing loss.
Hearing damage can happen quickly: A gunshot at close range can cause immediate and permanent damage to your hearing.
Hearing damage can happen over time: Repetitive exposure to loud noises, can cause hearing loss over time.
There are no warning signs: Most people don’t feel pain or ringing in their ears until their hearing is already damaged.
