Custom earplugs for hunters

Hear the woods. Keep your hearing.

Most hunters leave hearing protection in the truck. You need to hear what’s coming, and when a buck steps out there’s no time to roll in foam. The One is made to stay in from the truck to the tag. It’s molded to your ears in soft silicone and sits flush under a hat or hood. Its filter stays open, so you hear the woods and your partner clearly, and it protects your hearing the moment the trigger is pulled.

The trade-off every hunter makes

Protect your ears, or hear the hunt. Most pick the hunt.

  • There’s no time when it steps out.Foam in your pocket does nothing when a deer clears the brush. Few hunters stop to roll plugs in time, so the shot goes off with their ears open.
  • Muffs and foam shut the woods out.A step in the leaves, a gobble on the ridge, your partner’s whisper: with foam or passive muffs, all of it goes quiet. So most hunters take their protection off.
  • It only takes one shot.NIOSH measured rifle and handgun peaks from 144 to 172 dB, above its 140 dB limit for impulse noise. ASHA notes hearing loss or ringing can follow a single shot.
  • Hearing lost to noise doesn’t come back.It shows up as “huh?” at the dinner table, the TV creeping louder, and for some hunters a ringing that’s there when the woods go quiet.

The fix

In at the truck. Out at the truck.

The answer isn’t a faster earplug. It’s one you leave in. The One is molded from your own ears, so it seals by fitting, not by pushing, and it’s soft enough to forget on the dark walk in. When the moment comes, your protection is already in.

Real speed. A light press in, a gentle pull out.

Flush in the ear, with nothing for a hood or stock to catch. Order a camo swirl, or any colors you want.

How the plug works

Open in the woods. Protected at the shot.

Every pair has two filters working together. The filter is open, so voices and the sounds around you come through clearly. When the trigger is pulled, the non-linear filter in the canal closes down on the blast, so the sound pressure that damages hearing is held back. For hunting with a firearm we recommend the 30 dB filter.

There are no electronics. No batteries to die on a cold opening morning, nothing to charge the night before, and no microphone to pick up the wind.

Wherever you hunt

The short answer

What are the best earplugs for hunting?

The best hunting earplugs are the ones you leave in all day, so they’re already in when the shot comes. That takes three things: a fit comfortable enough to forget for hours, a profile low enough to sit under a hat or hood and clear of the stock, and an open filter, so you still hear your partner and the woods. A custom-molded filtered earplug does all three. Use the 30 dB filter for hunting with a firearm.

  • Why it mattersNIOSH measured peaks from 144 dB for a .22 rifle to 172 dB for a .357 revolver, above its 140 dB limit for impulse noise.
  • Why hunters go withoutASHA reports 70% to 80% of hunters never wear hearing protection, because they say it keeps them from hearing approaching wildlife.
  • No audiologist visitA home impression kit comes with every order. Making your impressions takes about 15 to 20 minutes, then we build your pair by hand in the USA.

“Fit was great (used the home mold kit with the help of my wife) and the 30db passive nr filters worked great shooting my USPSA 9 major open gun. Comfort was great even after over 6 hours of wear.”

Questions

Before you order

Will I still hear deer and my hunting partner?

Yes. The filter is open, so voices and the woods come through clearly. When the trigger is pulled, it closes down on the blast. It does not amplify sound the way electronic plugs do.

Why not electronic earplugs?

Electronic plugs amplify quiet sounds, and some hunters like that. The One is passive: no batteries, no charging, no microphone to pick up wind, and nothing to fail on a cold morning. It is molded to your ears in soft silicone and made to last 7 to 10 years.

Which filter should I use for hunting?

The 30 dB filter. It is the one we recommend for any hunting or shooting with a firearm.

Will they fit under a hat, a hood or muffs?

Choose the half shell. It sits low in the ear, so a hat, a hood or muffs go on over it.

Should I wear muffs over them?

For the loudest shooting, like a full day in a duck blind or practice at the range, NIOSH recommends earplugs under earmuffs. The half shell sits low enough for muffs to seal over it.

Can I get them in camo?

Yes. Order a swirl in your own colors, like green, brown and black. Each color is $10.

My ears already ring. Is it too late?

Protecting the hearing you have still matters, and each unprotected shot can add to the damage. If your ears ring or you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, it’s worth seeing an audiologist.

How do I get them, and how long does it take?

Your home impression kit is included and arrives in 3 to 5 business days. Making your impressions takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and a helper is optional. We build your pair by hand in about 40 business days from when your impressions reach our lab, or 20 business days with the $50 rush build. If you want them for a season opener, order early or add the rush.
