Guns aren’t the only things that are loud

Gun shots are loud, we know. They can reach decibels of over 140, which are louder than a jet engine, and to unprotected ears that can result in a lot of damage.

But what about other things that are loud? Like a rock concert, or furthermore, even band practice -- high school band practice.

In a medical study by Harvard published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, one in five teens may be suffering from hearing loss so severe that it may be permanent. Some teens attend concerts, which can typically range in from the 90-110 decibel range for more than three hours that can lead to damage.

But furthermore, more teens, especially younger teens, participate in band practice at their own high schools.  A high school newspaper, The Lance of Linganore High School in Maryland, recently conducted a study to see how loud a typical band practice is. Their results found at full volume, musicians were exposed to decibel levels ranging from 90-100, and at times over 100.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides guidelines to workplaces that are exposed to high volumes of noise. Any workplace that reaches over 85 decibels is required to wear hearing protection.

So what about band practice or musicians? Well ESP’s dynamic will provide in-ear protection to musicians who are exposed to hours and hours’ worth of loud noise over a long period of time. Musicians young and old can protect their ears while still being able to hear at a safe volume. 

Here's another story on hearing protection too from KABC-7 in LA.

Target practice plugs

It happens to the best of us.

You go out to camp, get in your stand, and have a big ol’ buck lined up. You spot it through your scope and BOOM!

You miss. And that big trophy goes scampering into the woods.

It happens to the best of us and our buddies our buddies can usually relate and tell their stories of this monster that they missed too. But before you go out into the woods, it’s always good to get some practice in at the range or with targets.

ESP has plugs specifically designed for target shooting ear plugs. From the ESP Elite Classic to the ESP Dynamic – Digital shooters, ESP has five ear plugs specifically designed for target and gun range shooting. All five offer superior protection, with the Stealth and Dynamic being two of the best in ear hearing protection devices in the planet.

It’s hunting season, so protect your ears

For lots of sections in the country, hunting season has begun. Whether it’s turkey, deer, bear or pheasant, hunters are polishing off their rifles and firearms to take to the woods.

One thing they don’t want to forget, though, is their ear protection.

ESP offers a full line of hearing protection ear plugs to protect one of your most vital senses while hunting, your hearing!

ESP carries five hearing protection products to protect your precious ear drums, each of them custom-fitted to your ears, so there’s no excuse not to bring your electronic ear protectors with you to camp.

Not worried because you're still young?

Even at a young age, people can start to lose their hearing. Think about it, repeated blasts at decibel levels that exceed 140. Studies have shown anything over 85 dB can affect your hearing, so you can see how multiple blasts at 140 dB a year can affect your hearing over time. 

Once your hearing starts to go, and if you keep on not preventing it, it will quickly start to decline until you'll be forced to wear something in your ear in order to hear: A hearing aid. 

So make sure you take steps to protect your ears with state-of-the-art with electronic ear protection. 

Protect your hearing now, so you can hear later.

Electric Shooters Protection is proud to congratulate Vincent Hancock on his second consecutive gold medal in skeet shooting! Vincent won this past week in London, holding off Andres Golding of Denmark, who took the silver and finished two targets back.

Hancock also set an Olympic record with his score of 148.

When the AP asked Hancock what gold medal is sweeter, the U.S. Army Sergeant said this time was. 

‘‘Being able to stand back up there again and listen to the national anthem again, it’s got to be better,’’ said Hancock, the first skeet shooter to win consecutive Olympic titles. ‘‘But it hasn’t set in fully yet.’’

Hancock was able to hear The Star Spangled Banner, of course, because his ears were being protected by Electric Shooters Protection’s Stealth ear protectors, ESP’s most popular model. 

The event took place at the Royal Artillery Barracks in London.

Hancock told the AP he wasn’t sure if he wasn’t going to compete in these Olympics, but after deciding too he’s not looking back now. Hancock was the youngest competitor and will have his eyes set on Rio in 2016. 
If the best shooter in the world qualifies again, we’ll be sure to sponsor him with in ear hearing protection again too.

Frank Thompson, who also wore the Stealth ear protectors didn’t finish in the medals, but represented Electric Shooters Protection and his country proudly and we salute him for that.

Take a look at NBC’s video coverage here and the story written by the AP’s Tim Reynolds here.
