E.A.R. MiniCanal™

It's so small. It's Outta Sight!

Introducing the newest technology in electronic hearing enhancement, the E.A.R. Mini-Canal™ Series.

With growing interests in electronic hearing protection, E.A.R. developed this line of small, discreet earplugs that fit comfortably into the ear with the use of various sized patent wax-guard tips. This decision benefits the consumer by virtually eliminating the possible hassle of remaking custom units due to weight changes or other anatomical changes in the ear over the years. It also allows our clients to share these units with another person by simply replacing the wax-guard tips. This reason alone helps law enforcement, instructors, military personal and shooting enthusiasts assign these units to other people without issues of fitting and adequate hearing protection worn in the field.

Regardless of either design, the unit permits each client to position a high quality electronic hearing protection device into the ear where it is not conspicuous, nor in the way of glasses, outer headwear, or long hair. This design is the preferred choice over behind the ear models which can be more difficult to use in active sports or professional activities.

Insta-Mold Earplugs

Insta-Mold silicone earplugs are customized to fit your ear with greater comfort, maximum attenuation value and greater convenience. When made correctly, they provide a reliable "tissue-to-tissue" fit duplicating every crevice and contour of the ear, which allows the user to wear these earplugs for extended periods of time without discomfort, irritation or constant removal from the ear for re-insertion.

SHS Waterproof Hunter

The SHS Waterproof Hunter is the newest member of our electronic earplug line. This unit picks up game sounds extremely well and has become a favorite among our fowl weather enthusiasts due to its patented "waterproof" design that protects the unit from moisture damage. It also features an integrated telecoil for wireless communication ability as well as three potentiometers for adjusting sound qualities and gain controls.

Acoustical Filtered Chameleon Ears

Used to protect your hearing from sudden impact and constant sound levels such as gunfire and wind noise, the Acoustical Filtered Chameleon Ears is designed to contain louder sounds to a comfortable level.

Made from a heat-curable silicone, these units are extremely durable and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Fitting flush to the bowl of the ear, they will not interfere with protective headwear or eyewear such as goggles or facemasks. It's no wonder these products have become a favorite among shooters, motorcyclists, skydivers, emergency personnel and concert spectators worldwide. Even professional sporting teams are benefiting by drowning out louder crowd noise while still maintaining a clear pathway for understanding signals.
