The PRO-17 has one of the flattest responses of any hearing protector worldwide offering an accurate representation for anyone that requires complete fidelity from their ear plugs. With an average attenuation of 17dB the PRO-17 is perfect for musicians and vocalists performing with amplification being able to extend your safe listening time by more than 5 times. The PRO-17 keeps all the clarity of the music by attenuating evenly throughout the frequency spectrum so you can listen and perform hearing everything you usually would but at a lower, safer level.
The PRO filter series has been designed anew with the wearer in mind. For starters, it’s smaller than many competing filters so that it can fit into smaller ears without any protrusion which is great for both comfort and aesthetics as it will always fit snugly underneath a helmet. The filters are also user-interchangeable so you can alternate as your environment demands to any other filter in the PRO range giving you complete control over your protection with just a single set of earmoulds. In addition, the PRO series are water resistant so they can be used outside or in high moisture environments and can withstand perspiration without it damaging the filter membrane.
Trying to create a natural sounding earplug is no mean feat as far as your own voice is concerned because, as you will have experienced, when you block off your ear canal your own voice starts to boom inside your head, this is what we call occlusion. Occlusion is caused by sound that is carried to your ear canal through the cartilage at the side of your head and usually escapes through the open ear canal so is not heard. When we block off the canal this sound cannot escape and so creates that booming effect. A large amount of occlusion can be eliminated by ensuring that the earplug sits deep enough into the ear canal to extend past the cartilage so that the sound hits the plug and is reduced rather than entering the canal at all but the PRO filters go one step further. The PRO series are vented to allow sound to pass both ways so that remaining sound can escape directly through the filter providing one of the most natural sounding earplugs available.
The PRO 17 is custom-made using soft medical-grade silicone so you get the very best in isolation and fit allowing you to wear them for hours at a time without fatigue or discomfort. Each earpiece is manufactured to the highest standards ensuring you get a comfortable, discreet and effective hearing protector that can be fitted quickly, easily and securely every time.
