The electronic components are the same ones used by premier hearing aid companies. If you have a hearing test performed by your audiologist, you can send it to Trophy Ear and they\u2019ll upload a custom profile to your device.<\/p>\n<p>Instant noise compression allows you to easily communicate with others and remain aware of your surroundings until a loud noise occurs. Once a loud noise is detected, the Flexx Pro instantaneously reduces the noise to a hearing-safe level of 85db without turning off. It\u2019s easy to maintain a conversation on a live range. Other companies cut the noise completely which produces uneven sounds coming through the headset.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-1024x534.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-400x209.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-150x78.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-768x401.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear.jpg.webp 1200w\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"534\" alt=\"Flexx Pro from Trophy Ear has volume control and 4 different tone profiles.\" class=\"wp-image-178578 lazyload\" data-eio=\"p\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-1024x534.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-1024x534.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-1024x534.jpg\" alt=\"Flexx Pro from Trophy Ear has volume control and 4 different tone profiles.\" class=\"wp-image-178578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-1024x534.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trophyear.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Flexx Pro is the only active hearing protection device that features soft silicone molding and is waterproof. Other companies use hard acrylic molds or a soft mold that has removable electronics that aren\u2019t waterproof.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The flexible silicone ear molds paired with the active hearing device allow Trophy Ear to achieve an industry-leading 29db Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). This is the same rating as most soft foam-style earplugs. Other manufacturers use acrylic shells that have an average of 25db NRR. <\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t seem like much, but a 4db difference means that Trophy Ear\u2019s will sound 1.5 times quieter than other brands. The silicone creates a perfect seal during all conditions, unlike their competitors. If you\u2019re operating in an extremely loud environment, you can double up on ear pro and wear muffs on top of the Flexx Pro\u2019s without interference thanks to the anti-feedback control.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Flexx Pro Features<\/strong><strong\/><\/td>\n<td><strong>Description<\/strong><strong\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Custom sound profiles<\/td>\n<td>Optional sound profiles to fit your hearing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Automatic Background Noise Filter<\/td>\n<td>Eliminates wind noise<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Waterproof<\/td>\n<td>Nano coating to protect against water damage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Distortion<\/td>\n<td>Less than 2% distortion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Impulse noise protection<\/td>\n<td>Units compress impulse noises above 85db without turning off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Passive hearing protection<\/td>\n<td>29db NRR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Battery life<\/td>\n<td>Up to 200 hours of use per battery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hearing aid compatibility<\/td>\n<td>Can temporarily replace hearing aids in a hunting environment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Electronic anti-feedback control<\/td>\n<td>Reduces feedback noise<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Custom fit<\/td>\n<td>Tailored fit for maximum comfort and noise reduction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Standard size 13 hearing aid batteries provide up to 200 hours of battery life and are waterproof rated.
