K.D., Portland, OR - "I've worn Hocks Noise Brakers for 40 years. My mother insisted I get fitted for my first pair when I was just 16 years old. She was concerned that my daily drumset practicing would harm my hearing. I've worn them throughout my tour with the United States Marine Corps Band in hundreds of music performances. I also wore them on the rifle range and when loading gear on planes when the band traveled. I've worn them when I was working in construction, logging, and when teaching music and working with marching bands. I've worn them whenever I'm operating hand tools, yard tools, or vacuuming. I always wear them when I'm practicing my drums and, as a working professional drummer, I've worn them to thousands of live performances over the years. I also wear them when I'm in the recording studio, under my headphones. When I'm on stage, they not only protect my hearing, they also help me hear the shole band. Because of the way they work, I can hear every instrument on stage, not just the loudest or ones closest to me. I've worked around crashing cymbals, blasting trumpets, amplified guitars and in high-volume surroundings for most of the last 4 decades, and I still have my hearing, thanks to Hocks Noise Brakers and a little encouragement from my mother. Just ordered two new pairs of them. - Thanks, Hocks!"

R.K., Portland, OR - "I purchased my Noise Brakers in 1987 when I read about them being used by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in their aircraft flight around the world. I still have and use them. After 30 years of use I thought maybe it was time to buy a new pair. I use them for my shooting sports and love them. They are very comfortable and the best noise suppression I've ever used. Far superior to any of the other brands I've seen over the years. Thanks for the great work!"
J.A., OR - "I suddenly developed Tinnitus and Hyperacusis in 1987. At that time I found out about Hocks. I had my first pair of Custom Noise Brakers made. That pair lasted until 1998, only because my purse was stolen with them in it. I had another custom pair made, which to this day (2012), I still wear. I can honestly say that I cannot live my life without them! To me, they are a vital necessity, just like a pair of glasses. With my Hyperacusis and Tinnitus I cannot tolerate loud noises and certain frequencies that other (normal hearing) people can. Excellent product! Since they are so vital to me, I'm getting a backup pair. Keep up the great work! They are the best! I hope you are able to make this product forever!! Thanks!"

Prevent leakage with a seal only available in custom units. No swim mold can provide a 100% water-tight seal. However, a properly fitted mold will prevent most moisture from entering the ear. They are recommended, by swimming instructors and doctors, for persons requiring protection of the ear.
The sleeping plug is similar to a solid plug, but with the canal shortened and the outer surface of the mold phantomed (scooped out) for comfort when lying on the ear.
