Analog technology has been regarded asthe “backbone” of both the hearing aid and

hearing protection industries for over 50 years. Though earliermodels were very “mechanical” sounding in nature they gavepeople the ability to hear again. Since their introduction,advancements in technology and programming became availableto bring better acoustics to their overall sound quality and gradually increase their sophistication in “reading and reproducing”sounds. Our Analog Series are second to none and are a favoriteamong recreational shooting enthusiasts, law enforcement andgeneral hearing enhancement use.

Digital technology advanced the hearingmarket into a new and improved level of

clarity and speech recognition. Digital circuits increased the pro-cessing of sound up to 20,000 times faster than analog circuits,giving the user a “natural” CD quality of reproduced sound with-out accenting unwanted background sounds such as commonwhite-noise and feedback. Digital technology has also madethings easier for manufacturers to program and address hearingloss within individuals by manipulating circuit boards acousticallyto bring out the best audio quality available. Our Digital Seriesbrings more uses to the individual and enhances the user’s surroundings with more advantages than analog circuitry tobring your environment alive.

All Electronic Earplug Series are sold as assistive listeningdevices, not hearing aids and feature certi�able compression.

E.A.R., Inc.’s, family of electronichearing protection began over

two decades ago, and continuesto incorporate the latest in

hearing enhancement tech-nology and innovation. Withthis in mind, we are able toinclude features and optionsthat allow us to build someof the highest quality products

available in today's market-place. This makes many of our

units multi-functional to addressdi�ering situations like gun�re,

The Insta-Mold Processhas been utilized by thehearing healthcare industryfor over 35 years. It isthe only process writtenup in the Archives ofOtolaryngology andOtology, and continues tobe consistently recognizedworldwide for its provenprotection againstextreme noise and water.

Insta-Mold earplugsare made “on-the-spot”and are customized to �t your ear with increased comfort,maximum attenuation value andgreater convenience than most o�-the-shelf ear protection products.When made correctly, they will provide a reliable "tissue-to-tissue"�t duplicating every crevice and contour of the ear. This allowsthe user to wear these earplugs for extended periods of timewithout discomfort, irritation or constant removal from the earfor reinsertion. This “ultimate �t” will also achieve the best attainableNRR rating, and provide the maximum in hearing protection forthe individual user. Below is the actual noise attenuation chartpreformed by one of the most reputable testing facilities in theworld. It accurately displays the amount of protection you willreceive from a properly �t set of Insta-Molds through the common frequency spectrum.

Specialty and �ltered hearing protec-tion and communication earpieces

are designed to address speci�crequirements or applications.These include racing and lawenforcement radio communica-tions, musicians, stethoscopes,walkman and cell-phone usage,pilots and other various needs.

Chameleon Ear™ EarplugsThese heat-curable ear molds have

similar characteristics to our “On-the-Spot”Insta-Mold silicones, but have better qual-

ities in durability and �ex. We can add acoustic�lters to these molds to lower the overall NRR rating, but still retain harmfulsounds to permissible levels. We can even make these glow in the dark!

Musician's Filtered Plug. Musicians practice and perform in a variety ofsettings and they are exposed to high levels of sound, sometimes for longperiods of time. Each require di�erent amounts of protection dependingon the sound levels they encounter during rehearsals and performances.

Acoustic Filtered Plugs. These specialized patented �lters are insertedinto a custom mold to allow safe sounds, those below 80dB like normalconversation, to pass virtually unattenuated. For sounds higher than80dB, these �lters limit the sound attenuation to OSHA regulated require-ments. Best used for industrial noise and shotgun sports where individualswant to hear conversation or auditory signals coming from machinery.

Communication Earpieces. The Skeleton-style earpiece is used by opera-tives in undercover occupations such as FBI, SWAT, police and security teams,as well as broadcast professionals such as �eld reporters and anchorpersons.

Pilot’s Earpiece. Pilots have several choices in headset communications.Two of the more popular boom mic systems are the lightweight Telex 5x5Pro III and the Plantronics MS-50-T30-2. Both can work with a customizedear mold, which features an adjustable boom for microphone positioning.

Racing Monitors. In the amateur and professional racing circuit, com-munications is a must for pit crews and drivers. Relaying vital strategicplans, communicating current positions, and/or possible upcoming hazards on the track is an invaluable asset to a racing team's success.

Ear-bud Ear molds , available for music and cellular telephone headsets,increase the comfort of the generic unit and isolate the ear from harmfulambient noise. In e�ect, the user can decrease the volume of the audiosource to reduce risk of hearing loss. For cell phone systems, "hands-free"operations provide safety while driving and are now required in several states.
