Custom vs Standard Noise Brakers®

Noise Braker® Filter

Custom Noise Braker® and Standard Noise Braker® ear protection use the same filter. Both work in the same way. The difference is in the shape of the product, and in how the product is made.

Custom Noise Brakers® are made from an impression taken from a person's ear. They completely seal off the ear. Any sound entering the ear will pass through the Noise Braker® filter.

The ear mold is made, a hole is drilled into it, and the filter is placed in the hole. Because each plug is made for an individual ear, Custom Noise Brakers offer better protection than Noise Braker® Standards.

Noise Braker® Standards are just that, standard. They are mass produced ear tips with the Noise Braker® filter inserted into the earplug.

The soft accordion style tip has three flanges that seal the ear from sound and keep the plug in the ear, leaving only one way for sound to enter the ear - through the Noise Braker® filter, allowing the filter do it's job.

The effectiveness of Noise Braker® Standards depends on how well the ear is sealed. This changes depending on the size and shape of a persons ear.

Because the Standards are mass produced, they are economical.
