Guns are one of the biggest threats to your\r\nhearing. They can cause instant, permanent and irreversible damage to your\r\nears. Understandable, given the fact that a gunshot produces sounds at 120\u00ad\u2013160\r\ndecibels \u2013 louder than a jet engine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many hunters, police officers, sharpshooters\r\nand military personnel avoid wearing basic earplugs because they block out both\r\nimportant, safe sounds and damaging sounds simultaneously. Military and\r\nhunter\u2019s molds solve this problem by distinguishing between good and bad sounds\r\nusing advanced digital and mechanical technologies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\r\n

Earmolds for hunters, soldiers and police\r\nofficers can be customized for your ears or purchased in universal forms.\r\nCustom hunter\u2019s molds offer the benefit of a tight, secure fit specific to your\r\nears. Universal models are a less expensive alternative that still offers\r\nbetter protection than earmuffs, headphones or fingers. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How Do Hunter\u2019s Earmolds Work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hunter\u2019s molds use specialized features that\r\neliminate damagingly loud sounds while still letting important, subtle sounds\r\nenter your ears. These earplugs can be created using individual molds from your\r\nears or bought as generic plugs. They use an acoustic filter to block out loud\r\nsounds while amplifying those at low decibel levels. This way, you can hear\r\nrustling twigs, quiet speech and other important but subtle noises while\r\nprotecting yourself from permanent hearing loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hunter\u2019s molds also have a tiny valve opening\r\nthat is designed to automatically close when hit with sound waves at damaging\r\ndecibel levels. This valve means your hearing is protected even if you\u2019re not\r\nthe one shooting a firearm. This feature is highly useful for the police force,\r\nmilitary members and people shooting at a range with other gunmen.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
