Go PRO for High Performance Hearing Protection
Honeywell Howard LeightTM ImpactTM PRO electronic earmuff delivers high noise reduction to any shooter
WESTWOOD, Mass. (November 30, 2018) – Many shooters have a tendency to believe that all forms of hearing protection provide adequate defense against noise-induced hearing loss. Once the “ears” go on, it’s easy to simply assume that hearing is adequately protected.
The unfortunate truth is that most shooters simply don’t give enough thought to hearing protection. Just because one particular model or style is comfortable or convenient doesn’t mean it provides adequate defense against hearing loss in any given shooting application.
The sound-attenuating performance of today’s diverse hearing protection options varies significantly, as do individual shooting environments and the amount of noise produced by the firearms we use.
Acoustic energy doubles every 3dB, so a high-powered rifle that produces a peak of 158dB generates 192 times more acoustic energy than a .22 cal. rifle that produces 140dB. Shooters should make hearing-protection decisions accordingly. The safest choice is to select a product with a high Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). The higher the number, the better the product protects.
Designed to protect shooters from loud firearms in noisy shooting environments, the Impact PRO electronic earmuff from Honeywell Howard Leight combines an impressive, high NRR of 30dB with up to 4x amplification, while automatically limiting output from the electronics to 82dBA.
Slim earcups are all the rage with many shooters, but size matters when it comes to maximizing protection, which is the precise reason why Impact PRO features a larger earcup design. The proof lies in the performance; Impact PRO provides twice the protection of an earmuff with a 27dB NRR, and four times more protection than one with an NRR of 24dB. Ultimately, this means shooters wearing Impact PRO can have a safer and more enjoyable shooting experience at the range, in the field, or during competition.
Featuring aggressive, tactical styling and a padded headband and earcup cushions, the versatile Impact PRO is adjustable to provide a very comfortable fit on a wide range of shooters, including youth, women and others with smaller heads. Impact PRO’s high NRR and adjustable fit make it an ideal choice for kids or others new to shooting sports. Up to 4X sound amplification means they’ll more clearly hear range commands and other verbal instructions, while blocking out more of the noise that intimidates many new shooters and makes the experience less enjoyable.
Impact PRO is designed with thoughtfully placed, rubberized pressure points to minimize the possibility of gunstock scratching, while a simple, single control dial turns the unit on and off and adjusts volume. Power comes via two included AAA batteries, the life of which is maximized through a convenient 4-hour auto shutoff feature.
