Pro-Ears, an Altus Brands Company, offers an extensive line of top quality passive and electronic hearing protection products designed to provide protection from impact noises such as those generated by gunfire, as well as many military, police and industrial operations. When you need protection from extreme noises, Pro-Ears has the product you need.

Pro-Ears electronic ear muffs include these important features*:

*These features are included in all sport, industrial and police/military models except for the P200 models.

• DLSC™ (Dynamic Level Sound Compression) technology. DLSC eliminates the muffled sound you get with passive ear muffs, and it eliminates the "on-off" sound clipping you get with ordinary tactical earmuffs. With DLSC, you hear everything you would without the ear muffs in place, but all at a safe volume level. Lower level sounds are amplified and louder level sounds are reduced.
• Independent ear cup controls and circuit boards. It costs more to install two circuit boards in each headset, but by using separate circuit boards in each ear cup, Pro-Ears eliminates the vulnerable wires that cross the headband on other electronic earmuffs. The duplicate boards also mean that if one board fails, you will still have one active ear in an emergency which can be especially critical in special ops situations, and this feature can save the outing when hunting far afield. In addition, by providing independent ear cup controls, those with differential hearing loss can easily compensate as needed.
• Highest amplification of ambient sound available in any shooter's ear muffs. Pro-Ears can amplify low level sounds as much as you need, up to 50 decibels, about 8 times as loud as normal! This means when you are hunting deep in the woods, you can hear better than can the game you are hunting. Pro-Ears give you the advantage of being able to hear the game before they can hear you! On the practice range, you will be able to always hear the range officer's commands and conversations from other shooters for maximum safety. In tactical police, military and loud industrial operations, your situational awareness is better with the headset on than it is with natural hearing.
• Built-in 8 bit diagnostic processor. Each circuit board contains an 8 bit microprocessor that performs 10,000 diagnostic tests per second and provides an LED indicator to let you know that your headset is performing according to specification at all times. A battery level indicator is also provided so you can be sure your headset will have the power it needs when you need to use it.
• External input jack. Most Pro-Ears model electronic headsets include a removable input cable that you can plug right into your FMRS two-way radio, scanner, iPod or other sound source, so you can listen to these external sources privately while using your headset.
• Highest passive protection available in any ear muff on the market. All electronic ear muffs ultimately rely on the passive rating of the ear cups to protect your hearing while the electronics manage what you hear. The lower the NRR rating, the more of the dangerous sound is permitted to bypass the electronic system. All Pro-Ears electronic ear muffs are rated at NRR 25 or higher, to a maximum of NRR 33, the highest NRR rating available in any ear muff sold anywhere.
• ProForm Leather™ ear pads for maximum extended wear comfort. ProForm Leather ear pads are made to be soft, flexible and comfortable so they provide a reliable, yet comfortable acoustic seal against the head, while reducing the tendency of ordinary ear pads to make your head sweat. ProForm Leather ear pads also resist cracking and embrittling, for long wear. When they do wear out, your ProForm pads are easily replaced with new pads. (Not available on the P200 models)
• Durable, adjustable headsets. All Pro-Ears headsets are manufactured from high impact plastics for years of reliable service. The ear cups are sturdy but light weight and the headbands are nicely padded with wide adjustments to fit nearly all head sizes.
• Optional interchangeable behind the head and hard hat mounts available. Most Pro-Ears models are provided with the padded headband. If you need a behind the head neckband or hard hat mount, these accessories are also available and they are user-interchangeable, making your Pro Ears headset the most adaptable electronic ear muffs you can buy. Use them at work, in the shop, on the firing line, and in the field.
• Generous Manufacturer's Warranty. Pro-Ears Gold Pro-Ears, Pro-Tekt and Pro-Tac models carry a 5 year limited warranty so you can buy with confidence knowing your quality headset can be counted on for years of trouble-free service.
• Made in America. By choosing Pro-Ears, you can help protect American jobs.
