Etymotic GunsportPRO Earplugs for Hunters, Shooters and Gun Enthusiasts

Etymotic Research, Inc. is an engineering-driven research, development, and manufacturing company. The name 'Etymotic' (pronounced 'et-im-oh-tik') means 'true to the ear.' Innovation, education, and hearing conservation are central to Etymotic's mission. For gun sport enthusiasts who need protection from firearm blasts, but also need protection from loud continuous noise from vehicles, machinery, or repeated gunfire from nearby shooters, Etymotic has developed the GunSport Pro, a high-definition electronic hearing protection device.

The GunSport Pro is designed to provide responsive hearing protection in the field, at the range, or anywhere enhanced awareness, clear communication, and blast protection are needed. It is suitable for gun sport enthusiasts, professional shooters, hunters, instructors, and guides. The key difference between the GunSport Pro and other hearing protection devices is its use of active electronic circuitry to restore the situational awareness that is generally lost when the ear canal is obstructed.

The GunSport Pro's adaptive attenuation technology allows the earplugs to automatically adjust to changing sound levels. When sound levels are safe, hearing is natural, as if nothing is in the ears. As the sound pressure level (SPL) increases, the circuitry gradually adjusts to protect from loud noises. This is achieved through the use of high-definition balanced-armature sound drivers, high-sensitivity microphones, and specially developed signal processing.

The GunSport Pro offers two distinct modes of operation: Hearing Enhancement Mode and Automatic Hearing Protection Mode. In Hearing Enhancement Mode, the device amplifies surrounding soft sounds up to 5 times, allowing for better situational awareness. In Automatic Hearing Protection Mode, the device instantly protects from blasts and provides 15dB of automatic hearing protection when noise exceeds safe levels.

This combination of features makes the GunSport Pro a versatile and effective hearing protection solution for gun sport enthusiasts, professional shooters, guides, instructors, and hunters. The adaptive attenuation technology ensures that users can maintain natural hearing when sound levels are safe, while also receiving instant and reliable protection from loud, potentially damaging noises.
