Questions & Answers

How specific are these to the right and left? one ear, and I would like to swap them if the battery dies en route to the field since I will only be using one at a time. Is this possible?

There is nothing specifically for ears with them, and the case that comes with it is a small charging box that uses 3 AA batteries and the units continue to charge while in the box. The set up is good. It is always charged up on the units. Finding out which tip to use in your ear is the most challenging aspect. My extra skull screws seem to work better than the ones that came with the kit. Since I have spent so much money on electronic headphones, I wish they had come out with these plugs years ago.

Does this only block out bursts of sound, such as that produced by weapons fire or riveting guns, or can it dampen sustained sounds, such as those from jet engines and ?

This is what I'm using TEP for In a team of up to six people, participants will shoot sporting clays for 100 dollars. Shooting will total 100 rounds per man in a squad of 300 to 600 rounds. It consists of three parts "Clip" the loud gun so that it reports at a level equal to a human voice. Normal conversation is assumed to take place as normal. It consists of three parts When you first power up the device, you are provided with a normal level, and with a press of the ear device button you can go to a higher level. The skull screws (foam type) plugs that I use in my ears are called skull screws. For many years I have worn ear plugs made from foam and my preference is to wear them when I am out in the wind. The TEP program does not exist for me years experience in the jet or machinery industry, but I have worked in both environments and think the TEP-classification is accurate The 100 would be useful there as well. When the TEP has lasted 90 minutes, The device can be left on for an additional 90 minutes with a simple press of a button. In my packing bag, I have foam plugs, molded ear plugs, and another type of shooting plug which is similar to a hearing aid. The TEP-I is what I use From the day I bought them, I have only used 100.

Is there an attachment cord that can be attached to the earplug cord in the box if it comes with the optional earplug cord?

You will receive a cord with the product. also lost my left ear as a result of improper fit or insufficient protection from prolonged rifle fire while using this product. I asked for my plugs to be returned.

Although I have not used them myself, I would imagine that they would work fine

This product is not suitable as a hunting ear plug and is useless as a tactical ear plug
5/5

However, I think the range is great! Shooting is part of my lifestyle (around a hundred to several thousand rounds a I also hunt a lot and spend quite a bit of time at the shooting range. Due to the good reviews, and the fact that I wanted some hearing protection I could use while hunting, I purchased these earplugs. I would not recommend these for the field (hunting or tactical) as a hunter and an Iraq war combat veteran. Hunting several times per week during open season and being on combat patrol in hostile environments is part of my job. It's just not up to the task here when it comes to audio quality. That is not the case with these. This is an OK recording, but the sound quality is not great. It is also very Both the left and right earpieces have the same sound holes, so the right sound hole is the front, and the left sound hole is the back. generally results in the left ear always sounding muffled and severely reducing the ability to perceive depth and direction within speech. Also, you will notice that there is a slight delay (but still perceptible) when the sound travels While wearing them, try to knock on something -- I don't quite hear the knock that matches the sound. The aforementioned factors make them unsuitable for the majority of serious hunting applications. It would be a disaster to try to use these in a combat situation These devices do not even come close to being able to improve your ability to detect enemy combatants, and I definitely would not put my life in their hands. I've spent many hours at the range with these and they The soft grey tips block just enough noise (with the foam tips) to be very effective hearing protection while still allowing you to hear what's It can be dangerous to block all sounds all the time if multiple people are moving around and shooting close to one another. It also comes with a charging case that is perfect! I like that the internal batteries can be charged by the case (which accepts AA batteries) very well. Having a fully charged battery will last you for a good range session, and you can charge it up in the car on the way there. The bottom line is that these would perform well at range, but are a poor option for hunting and are worthless when used as tactical earplugs.

This is an absolute necessity in the field of construction
4/5

It has been about 5 months since I developed tinnitus. I am 36 years old. My tinnitus was caused by 17 years of using hammers, impact drills, pneumatic staplers, multimac vibration cutting tools, skilsaws, palm sanders, wet tile saws, and gunpowder powered concrete anchoring systems. Despite my best efforts, I cannot get rid of my tinnitus. In the event of further damage, protective plugs will help me avoid more costs. My hearing is already damaged, so they allow me to communicate with coworkers while protecting it. lithium batteries are capable of powering the units for a full 8 hours Those of you reading this who work in an environment that is susceptible to loud noise, please consider getting these or something similar to avoid having to suffer from.
