Hearing ProtectionEarpieces

Westone DefendEar™ custom-fit hearing protection earpieces provide an effective, comfortable and repeatable fit. DefendEar hearing protection products are suitable for a variety of applications, whether it’s for work, listening to music, shooting, motor sports or doing jobs around the house such as mowing the grass or using power tools.

Tests conducted by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory suggest that participants who wore custom-fit hearing protection experienced a greater consistency of fit and attenuation than those using generic over-the-counter products.

Note: Second-bend, open-mouth, bite-block impressions are recommended for all hearing protection devices.
