Surefire/EarPro Hearing Protection Products

Posted by Cobra Tactical Sales on 2/20/2012

EarPro products for combat and law enforcement personnel suppress potentially harmful sounds like gun shots but allow passage of ambient sounds and communications from team members. EarPro radio communication systems are compatible with most models used by law enforcement and military personnel.

The Surefire/EarPro Sonic Defenders protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their double-flange-stem design fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates the patented Hocks Noise Braker® filter. EP3s include attached stopper plugs, which can be inserted for further protection and blocking out lower-level noise, like that heard on a plane, where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn't critical. The right/left color-coded Sonic Defenders are made from a soft but durable, hypoallergenic polymer and are ergonomically shaped, with an adjustable-stem design, providing a secure fit, all-day comfort, and extended product life (3 to 6+ months, depending on usage and care). And their low-profile design means they can be worn while wearing a helmet or mask, or while using a phone or headset.

Comfortable Sonic Defenders also serve as earpieces for EarPro by SureFire® and other compatible radio communication systems*simply by removing the Hocks Noise Braker filter and attaching the earpiece to the system. NOTE: EP3 earpiece no longer provides hearing protection once the Hocks Noise Braker filter has been removed.

Sonic Defenders are sold as a single left/right set or in a box containing 25 sets. Each set is packaged in a convenient carry case and includes a polymer lanyard.

The Surefire Sonic Defenders are available in small (S), medium (M), and large (L). Proper size is based on the dimensions of your ear's concha bowl. Size "medium" fits most people; however, to ensure the best possible fit, review the chart below. For those with larger ear canals, the EP4's three-flange stem may provide a better fit than the EP3's two-flange stem.
