Customer Comments

D.H. - "Many years ago I worked at United Airlines and had form fitted earplugs made by Hocks.  I am now retired but still wear them when I'm doing noisy woodworking and chainsaw work.  I guess I could be a TV promo person for these earplugs!  I still have great hearing, even after years of working in noisy environments.  My regards, and I compliment your customer relations."

R.K. - "I purchased my Noise Brakers in 1987 when I read about them being used by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in their aircraft flight around the world.  I still have and use them.  After 30 years of use I thought maybe it's time to buy a new pair.  I use them for my shooting sports and love them.  They are very comfortable and the best noise suppression I've ever used.  Far superior to any of the other brands I've seen over the years.  Thanks for the great work!"

T.W. - After buying what felt like every earplug known to exist to cut down wind noise while riding my motorcycle, I started to do some more research and came across some riders in a forum bragging about Hocks Noise Brakers. Finally, I had impressions made and ordered custom ear molds with the Hocks Noise Filters. First things first. They fit. Obviously, being made from impressions of my own ears, they fit perfectly. Since Hocks knew ahead of time my primary use, the earmolds are concaved slightly so putting a full-face helmet on isn’t an issue. Wearing an open face helmet, wind noise is drastically reduced.  The filters reduce decibels above “speech level” so sitting at a red light you can hear cars pull up next to you. Heck, if someone’s talking on their phone, you can hear that too.  Sirens, cars honking their horns, engines idling... but the deafening wind noise isn’t deafening. Call me impressed!”

S.W., Former Service Member, 2 Honorable Discharges, 2-time Veteran - "Your Brakers offer me 90% relief in nearly every situation.  After 25 years of suffering with hyperacusis, I can attest that your Brakers really work. Thank you!"

M.B. - "I just received the Hocks Noise Braker Standards ear plugs and they are great!  I put in the plugs, shot a shot gun, and banged the heads of two steel 2 lb. sledge hammers together, and never felt a bit of those high and fast noises.  I am really impressed!"

K.D. - “When I'm on stage, they not only protect my hearing, they also help me hear the whole band.  Because of the way they work, I can hear every instrument on stage, not just the loudest or ones closest to me.  I've worked around crashing cymbals, blasting trumpets, amplified guitars and in high-volume surroundings for most of the last 4 decades, and I still have my hearing, thanks to Hocks Noise Brakers and a little encouragement from my mother.  Just ordered two new pairs of them. - Thanks, Hocks!"

J.A. - "I suddenly developed Tinnitus and Hyperacusis in 1987.  At that time I found out about Hocks Laboratories from the American Tinnitus Association.  I had my first pair of Custom Noise Brakers made. I can honestly say that I cannot live my life without them!  To me, they are a vital necessity, just like a pair of glasses.  With my Hyperacusis and Tinnitus I cannot tolerate loud noises and certain frequencies that other (normal hearing) people can.  I wear my Noise Brakers in the car, bus, downtown city noise, restaurants, movies, traveling, musical performances, large family gatherings, and many otherwise noisy environments.  Wearing them allows me to participate in the things I enjoy, and in sharing my life with friends and family.  From the beginning I have found them easy to wear and very comfortable. Excellent product!  Since they are so vital to me, I'm getting a backup pair.  Keep up the great work!  They are the best!  I hope you are able to make this product forever!!  Thanks!"
