PRO EARS® ADVANCED HEARING PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY

DYNAMIC LEVEL SOUND COMPRESSION™

Watch a video

First and foremost, only Pro Ears models of electronic hearing protection/amplification muffs feature our cornerstone 'DLSC™' Dynamic Level Sound Compression Technology. This superior technology allows the wearer to hear every sound even during high volume noise spikes. While other brands say they have 'compression' technology, they do not. What they do have is outdated technology, either 'Peak Clipping' or 'Automatic Level Control'. 'Peak Clipping' turns the amplification system off when noise levels reach a preset decibel leaving the wearer with passive muffs. 'ALC' simply reacts to high noise levels by lowering the unit's volume so the louder sounds still drown out softer sounds. In both technologies loud noise levels compromise the ability to hear quieter sounds. Only Ridgeline's 'DLSC' technology protects hearing while at the same time allowing the wearer to hear lower volume sounds such as normal conversation. 'DLSC' works by instantly 'compressing' all noises over the 70 dB threshold by 50% to a safe level while amplifying all sounds below that to 70 dB. The result is the wearer will hear everything, including conversation, while simultaneously being protected from dangerous, high volume sounds.

How it works

QUALITY SOUND

Due to the sophisticated, audiophile components extreme linear characteristics, wide 80 dB dynamic range and surface mount technology, Pro Ears provide the clearest, most natural sound quality ever found in hearing products. Every sound comes in crisp and clear, so natural its like you are wearing nothing at all.

ATTACK TIME

To truly protect ones hearing it is vital that the hearing protection not only react quickly when high noise levels are perceived, but also recover just as quickly once the noise level drops to a safe level. We are proud to say Pro Ears offer the fastest 'Attack Time' in the industry at an unprecedented 1.7 milliseconds. At RidgeLine we find it hard to believe that our competitors, who less than two years ago were touting Attack Times of as much as 30 milliseconds and without making any changes or alterations in their units, are now claiming, 2 milliseconds. As in the 'compression' technology ruse that many are claiming to have, this is another example of our competition stretching Truth in Advertising to its limit.

AMPLIFICATION

Amplification increases the ability to hear clearly and at great distances. With the advanced technology of Pro Ears you will have the adjustable range to increase hearing up to 8 Times normal. For those who have a limited range of hearing or for those, such as hunters, wildlife observers, law enforcement officers, etc, the ability to hear distant sounds is vital. In addition, Pro Ears offers the only programmable units that allow the user to change Gain sensitivity so you can adjust your Pro Ears model to fit your specific needs.

INDEPENDENT ELECTRONICS

Since Pro Ears offers complete electronics in each cup there is no need for connecting wires that can snag on branches or rob the performance. Due to this design the wearer also has independent volume controls on each cup to compensate for disparate hearing or for unique situations that call for one ear to be more or less sensitive. And because each cup features it's own electronics every Pro Ears provides true stereo for directional sound detection.

COMFORT PLUS

Comfort is a priority with RidgeLine so every Pro Ears model is designed to be worn for long periods of time comfortably. It begins with the adjustable, padded headband that is quickly adjusted to fit your head. We us a special formula foam for your replaceable Sealing Rings. These special Rings not only conform to the wearer but are soft and pliable for wear with glasses. These also help alleviate bone transmitted sound vibrations to further protect the wearer from loud noise levels.

CONVENIENCE

Each model Pro Ears features a modular, fold up design for easy carry and convenient storage. Nothing aggravates more than to have batteries fail so we use commonly found 'N' size 1 1/2 volt batteries that will provide the industries longest, minimum 200 hours of use. Batteries are also included with each new Pro Ears model.

ADVANCED CIRCUITRY

The Dual Layer, Printed Circuit Boards with extensive ground planes make Pro Ears immune to interference caused by Radios, TV, Ham stations and other sources. The All-Surface Mount Design uses the highest quality parts available and is based on five, low power Integrated Circuits allowing the unit to consume less than 4 Ma allowing for longer battery life.

COMMUNICATIONS/ENTERTAINMENT

The Pro Ears Dimension 2 Series features Receiver/Input capabilities for: AM/FM Radio, Cassette Tape, Stereo, CD, Scanners and other electronic Communication/Entertainment Receiving Devices so you can communicate or relax with your own music, educational material or on the job media.

AMERICAN PROUD

Pro Ears is also the only electronic hearing protection products that are quality made in the USA by Americans. We are proud of this and show it by backing our Dimension Series with a no-nonsense, industry-leading '5' Year Warranty. We start with the most advanced technology, produce and assemble every unit here in Colorado and then stand behind each one with pride.
