CUSTOM HEARING PROTECTION STYLES

HOCKS NOISE BRAKERS®

Custom Hocks Noise Brakers® are made from an impression taken from a person's ear and are hand-crafted for maximum attention to detail. Each earplug is as individual as the ear it fits, sealing off the ear. Any sound entering the ear will pass through the Hocks Noise Filter®.

The earmold 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 superior protection.

Noise Brakers work by attenuating sound. Softer sounds are not reduced as much as louder sounds. The Noise Brakers unique way of reducing sound allows the wearer to carry on a conversation while protecting his / her hearing.

MOTORCYCLE PLUGS

Motorcycle Plugs are Hocks Noise Brakers® that are phantomed (concave) on the outer surface, for comfort underneath a helmet. Filtering is necessary for the wearer to hear conversational level sound, including any necessary warning sounds, while protecting hearing.

Earplugs are available in solid colors (shown in violet), swirled colors (shown in green, blue, red, orange, black and white), translucent colors, translucent clear, with or without cords.

M.R.H., North Pole, Alaska - "I recently purchased a pair of your Custom Noise Brakers to use while riding my motorcycle.  They are very comfortable to use all day.  I was very impressed when I decided to use them at a friend's house during some construction.  We were cutting some railroad ties with a chainsaw, and some rebar with a 10" chop saw.  As a test, I asked him to say something to me during both of these activities and, to my amazement, I heard him perfectly.  He was equally amazed when I repeated back to him what he'd said, since he said he couldn't hear what he was saying.  These things are great!!"
