HOCKS NOISE BRAKER® earplugs
Hocks Noise Brakers® are hearing protection earplugs
utilizing the Hocks Noise Filter®.
Wear your comfortable world famous Hocks Noise Brakers®
and carry on a conversation without removing your hearing protection.
CUSTOM HOCKS NOISE BRAKER®
Custom Hocks Noise Brakers® are hearing protection earplugs hand-crafted from an impression taken from a person's 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 placed in the hole. Because each plug is made for an individual ear, Custom Noise Brakers offer comfort and the best seal possible, while allowing conversational level sound.
HOCKS NOISE BRAKER® STANDARDS
Hocks Noise Braker® Standards are just that, standard. They are mass produced earplugs with the Hocks Noise Filter® inserted into the body.
The soft and comfortable accordion style tip has three 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®.
The effectiveness of Hocks Noise Braker® Standards depends on how well the ear is sealed. This can change depending on the size and shape of a person's ear. Because Standards are mass produced, they are lower in cost than Custom Noise Brakers.
hocks noise filter®
The Hocks Noise Filter®, inserted into hearing protection, allows air and sound to enter the ear.
The Noise Braker is designed to reduce the intensity of sound waves, as the sound waves get stronger. The wearer can have a normal conversation, and hear warning sounds. The normal voice can be heard with a slight reduction of volume, while the background noise is filtered out to a greater extent.
Normal hearing protection seals off the ear with an insulating material, such as foam or silicone, blocking sound from entering the ear. Ears are protected, but these plugs can create problems:
In addition to the frustration of having to shout to carry on a conversation, workers are frequently unable to hear warning sounds or alarms.
Having the ear completely sealed off can leave the wearer with a stuffy, plugged up feeling.
The Hocks Noise Filter® was created to help with these problems.
Protect your hearing and still hear
Noise Brakers work by attenuating sound. Softer sounds are not reduced as much as louder sounds.
This unique way of reducing sound allows the wearer to carry on a conversation and protect their hearing at the same time.
Hocks filtered Noise Brakers are made to be continuously worn without discomfort, and permit conversational sound, air and changes of air pressure to enter the user's ears.
Hocks Noise Brakers® reduce harmful noise to non-damaging decibel levels.
