Westone Revolutionizes Universal-Fit Ear Protection For Firearms with New DefendEar Digital Shooter

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Specializing in custom earplugs and earpieces as well as other products to protect and enhance hearing since 1959, Westone has announced its DefendEar® Digital Shooter earpieces, which feature state-of-the-art digital technology and an affordable way to experience comprehensive electronic hearing protection while maintaining high environmental awareness. Created for the sportsman's lifestyle, the Shooter allows for clear communication as well as enhanced ambient awareness. However, when dangerously high level sounds occur, the electronic circuit instantly suppresses the loud noise, protecting your ears and hearing.

Coupled with Westone's legendary support and full features, the Shooter also provides:

• Hearing protection of 30dB (NRR)
• 3 amplification levels (up to 86dB)
• Wind-noise reduction
• Low-profile
• Hear conversations as normal
• Universal-fit
• No gun mount interference making it the perfect shooting companion

"No one has more experience with custom earpieces than Westone, and the new DefendEar® Shooter is not just a complement to our legacy but a must-have for every firearm owner," said Matt Christensen, Westone Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Its sophistication, from the tiny, universal-fit small profile of the earpiece to the remarkable clear communication that has the intelligence to eliminate damaging sound, offers ideal protection to the shooting sportsman, which is signature Westone."

No earpiece is complete, however, unless it's comfortable. Westone's more than 55 years designing custom and universal earpieces provide you a comfortable fit every time. The universal fit is effective enough to block out harmful noise in the ear while allowing for ambient sounds to be raised effectively. DefendEar® also has a low-profile design meaning it's not obtrusive. And the color-coded right and left earpieces ensure perfect set-up.

Westone's new DefendEar® Digital Shooter is available at select outdoor retailers and WESTONE.com.
