Don't Just Take our Word for it
"... [the Noise Brakers] work like a champ at the trap range (high amplitude shot noise) and in the woodworking shop (low frequency constant noise) ....these plugs are so comfortable. These plugs work as well as a solid ear plug, yet allow just enough normal sound through to allow the wearer to carry on a normal conversation without screaming. I will be using these afield bird hunting where I want to protect my hearing yet need to listen for my dogs and my hunting partners.
"I am a normal size male (6'2" / 210 lbs) and all off-the-shelf plugs are just too small for my ear canal. These new plugs fit snuggly to form a good sound seal and are still comfortable over ma[n]y hours. As or the person who bites there fingernails, you can easily remove these devices without a big fuss."

"I recently purchased a pair of your Custom Noise Brakers to use while riding my motorcycle. They are very comfortable to use all day. I was very impressed when I decided to use them at a friend's house during some construction. We were cutting some railroad ties with a chainsaw and some rebar with a 10" chop saw. As a test, I asked him to say something to me during both of these activities and, to my amazement, I heard him perfectly. He was equally amazed when I repeated back to him what he'd said since he said he couldn't hear what he was saying. These things are great!!"

"I wish to express my thanks and extreme satisfaction to your corporation for helping me with my earpieces. I am an airline pilot, flying in a relatively noisy flight deck and protecting my hearing is of the utmost importance. I was especially impressed with your customer service and industry knowledge, making sure I was educated so as to ensure the correct product was used. The earpieces themselves work very well, and - with the passive noise filter - seems to achieve a similar level of noise attenuation to that of the other, high-priced ANR headsets.
Most importantly, the entire staff - from the receptionist to the hearing specialists - is all very friendly, exhibits fantastic customer service and has been more than patient with my unique demands. I would highly recommend Hocks earpieces to any professional who is looking for long term hearing protection in noisy environments."
