Personal Application

Hearing loss accumulates over time. We often don’t notice the damage, thinking we’ve adjusted to the loudness. Unfortunately, many hobbies and personal activities contribute to hearing impairment, which impacts us for the rest of our lives. Tinnitus keeps us from sleeping deeply, which lowers our immune systems, making us susceptible to illness.

Performance Ear Pro can make your hobbies more enjoyable. We offer custom earplugs with Bluetooth options that allow you to connect your hearing protection to your phone so you can hear your playlist or podcast without environmental noise interference. You can also use our earplugs to help you sleep better at night.

Your hearing is precious. Protect it. Let us help!

If you need help deciding which ear protection to purchase, you can check out our recommended products for the following personal applications.

Shooting Sports

The owner of Performance Ear Pro, Bobbi Hedegard, offers shooting instruction in Memphis, TN, where she works as a registered nurse. To add to her impressive resume, she served as a translator and analyst in the United States Navy. She knows the value of quality ear protection. She wants you to hit the mark every time and insists that our earplugs do the same.

Water Sports

When water pools in the outer ear canal, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, causing otitis externa—or—swimmer’s ear. You also need custom water plugs if you regularly swim or surf in cold water because cold water causes bone growths which can, eventually, constrict the ear canal, a condition commonly referred to as “surfer’s ear.”

Motor Sports

Champion motorbike racer Steve Parrish blames his dirt bike’s engine for the hearing loss that plagues his retirement. When he finally saw a doctor, he realized he had lost thirty percent of his hearing. He says that he never thought to use ear protection.

Active Lifestyles

The heart-racing music used to drown out the distractions at the gym or get your heartbeat pumping during kickboxing class can damage your hearing. We get it. The music makes your workout more fun and drowns out the monotonous hum of treadmills and stationary bikes. However, you could lose more than you gain at the gym if you don’t use ear protection.

Sleep Aid

Are you tired of tossing and turning while your neighbors blast music? Does your partner’s snoring make it difficult to stay asleep? When you don’t sleep well, you put your body at risk. Lack of sleep impacts your body’s ability to heal or fight disease. It impairs your brain functioning and can lead to scary things like heart attacks and strokes. In addition, it impacts your psychological health, leading to depression, anxiety, and the inability to cope effectively with stress.

Travel-Aid

Commuters experience extreme noise levels—often without noticing. The following decibel levels were reported for common traveling methods:

Buses ( 80-95 Decibels )

Diesel Trucks ( 100 Decibels )

Power Tool Protection

Did you know that fifty percent of construction workers suffer hearing loss? It sounds impossible but running a chainsaw for fewer than two minutes can cause irreparable damage. Usually, people don’t even notice the damage until it’s too late. The ringing in the ears grows painful; then, high-pitched noises become less audible. People find themselves turning the volume of their televisions louder or unable to follow conversations because the voices seem muffled.

Musical Performance

Damage to your ears incurred during musical performances can affect your ability to hear musical pitches. One disorder, Diplacusis, causes one ear to perceive a different pitch than the other, which can impact or end your career. Another condition, Hyperacusis, causes the person to feel pain and stress when exposed to extreme noise levels.

Aviation

Pilots of small aircraft are at the highest risk of hearing damage. While the FAA takes the noise levels of American aircraft very seriously, the risk of hearing loss cannot be understated. Researchers named a pattern of hearing damage “Pilot Ear” because pilots usually experience hearing difficulties in one ear. (Standard headsets protect one ear, while the other is exposed to as many as 105 decibels during takeoff and landing.)

Your hearing is one of your greatest assets.
