Hocks Noise Brakers®

Protect your hearing, and still hear!

The Noise Braker® is a filter.

As such, it lets air and sound through. 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, thus 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 a stuffy, plugged up feeling.

The Noise Braker® was created to help with these problems.

How the 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 Braker 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.
