Hocks Noise Braker®

Custom vs Standard Noise Brakers

Hocks Noise Filter®

Custom Noise Braker and Standard Noise Braker ear protectors use the same

Hocks Noise Filter®.  Both work in the same way. The difference is in the shape

of the product and in the fit.

 Custom Hocks Noise Braker® / Hocks Noise Braker® Standard

Custom Noise Brakers are made from an impression taken from a person's ear. They completely seal off the ear. Any sound entering the ear will pass through the Hocks Noise Filter®.

The ear mold is made, a hole is drilled into it, and the filter is inserted into the hole. Because each plug is made for an individual ear, Custom Noise Brakers have a better seal, resulting in better protection than Noise Braker Standards.

Hocks Noise Braker® Standards are just that, standard. They are mass produced ear tips with the Hocks Noise Filter® inserted into the earplug.

The soft accordion style tip has three soft and flexible flanges that seal the ear from sound and keep the plug in the ear, leaving only one way for sound to enter the ear: through the Hocks Noise Filter®, allowing the filter do it's job.

The effectiveness of Hocks Noise Braker® Standards depends on how well the ear is sealed.  The size and shape of a persons ear affect the fit and, therefore, the seal.

Because the Standards are mass produced, they are economical.

   M.B., Cove Orchard, Oregon - "I just received the Hocks Noise Braker® Standards ear plugs and they are great.  I put in the plugs, shot a gun, and banged the heads of two steel 2 lb. sledge hammers together, and never felt a bit of those high and fast noises.  I'm really impressed!"
