There are probably only very few hunters and shooters that have never heard of NIHL (Noise-Induced Hearing Loss), a condition that affects thousands, even millions, of people worldwide. It is a condition that causes deafness, or degrees thereof, often brought on by exposure to abnormally loud noise and sounds, such as those one hears at the shooting range, or when you and your mates enjoy some time hunting elk and white-tailed deer, for example.

Loud gun and rifle fire can be truly damaging to one’s hearing, with even one very loud shot fired too close to the ear being able to cause untold damage, such as permanent hearing loss. To help avoid such situations, shooters and hunters make sure they wear some form of good protection inside the ear, or over it, as one finds with, say, headpieces that may help to block out sound.

The hunter and the shooter have to deal with protecting their hearing while at the same time being able to hear the sounds they need to hear in order to hear their prey in the bush, or to hear their instructor at the shooting range giving orders, for example. The only way around these issues ...
... is to find a way that allows you to hear those sounds you need to hear in order to perform well, and some kind of hearing protection that will limit – even eliminate – those harsh and loud sounds that can cause damage to your hearing.

For years already, many shooters and hunters have tried their best to protect their ears while at the same time being able to listen to those sounds around them to either follow instructions on the shooting range or those sounds that ensure they enjoy a tactical advantage while out in the field. Many use disposable foam earplugs, while others may cover their ears with the next best option, the earmuffs that will block out sound.
But the problem remains: how does one benefit from their preventive measures and still hear those sounds one needs to hear in order to enjoy a successful day while out hunting or shooting?

With advanced technology this is no longer the big problem it was in the past. New technologies now enable the shooter and hunter to protect their hearing from the damaging effects on their ears from loud bursts of gun and rifle fire, while they can still hear those sounds they want to hear, such as birdsong, normal conversation among mates out in the field, or the voice of the shooting instructor at the shooting range.

Some leading suppliers now offer hunters and shooters digitally enhanced hearing protective devices to ensure they hear true, normal sound, but not those sounds that may damage their ears. In the US, for example, hunters and shooters can now approach services that offer them custom-made hearing protection devices, i.e. a pair of devices made for them specifically, and not for anybody else.

These companies offer devices that fit into the shooter’s ear, which allows them to pick up sound across a wide frequency while at the same time the devices offer protection from the adverse effects of loud sounds such as gun and rifle fire. They are made according to the profile of the individual’s ears, their shape and their contours. They fit snug and are electronically and digitally controlled to allow those sounds you want to hear – and eliminate those harmful to your hearing ability.

With these advanced, custom-made products the shooter is able to control the volume and be assured that you hear what you want to hear – and not any loud sounds and noise that may be harmful to your ears. The best among these services advertise their products everywhere – also on the internet.
