Hocks Hearing Healthcare Products

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 carry on a normal conversation. 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!

Millions of hearing protection plugs are sold each year to musicians, music lovers attending concerts and festivals, farmers, hunters, sportsmen, travelers, hobbyists, motorcyclists, pilots, airport workers, landscapers and yard workers, construction workers, and industrial workers.

How the Hocks Noise Braker® Works - Protect Your Hearing Using the Laws of Physics

The Accelerated Resonant Decay Principle

It is an axiom of physics that we cannot create or destroy energy. We can, however, convert it.

The Hocks Noise Filter® converts sonic energy into thermal energy by means of compression acceleration. The rise in temperature is so minute you will never notice it.

You can still hear, but a dangerous level of sound can not possibly get through the filter.

Custom vs Standard Noise Brakers  



Different Ear Pieces

Custom Hocks Noise Braker® and Hocks Noise Braker® Standard ear protectors use the same Hocks Noise Filter®.  Both work in the same way. The difference is in the shape of the product and in the fit.
