From Howard Leight
It’s a new year. More than ever, this particular turning of the calendar holds the promise of better things and better times to come.
What are you resolving to do differently, better, or more often in the coming year? Will you put in more time on the shooting range? Catch up on the live music events you haven’t been able to attend? Tackle more big projects around the homestead? Reschedule the hunting trip that was canceled last year? Travel to visit friends and loved ones?
Whatever your exciting plans may be, fully enjoying them will require good hearing – both now and in the future. So, consider making 2021 the year you make a commitment to yourself and loved ones to start doing a better job at protecting your hearing.
Hearing loss is largely painless and happens over time as the delicate structures inside our ears are repeatedly injured by loud sounds. The damage is incremental, so most people don’t realize it’s taking place until it’s too late. While continued exposure to dangerous noise can cause hearing loss over time, impulse noises like those produced by a firearm can cause permanent damage instantly. The good news is that such injuries are largely preventable through the consistent use of appropriate and properly fitted hearing protection.
Whether participating in shooting sports, attending concerts, motorsports events, or operating power equipment, wearing properly fitted Howard LeightTM hearing protection products will help protect your hearing while safely enjoying the activities you love.
Foam ear plugs and passive muffs like those from the Howard Leight Leightning Series are great choices for most activities and applications. For shooting sports, consider an electronic earmuff like the popular Howard Leight ImpactTM Sport. Up to 4x amplification means you’ll be able to conduct conversation and hear range commands, while relying on Impact Sport’s internal circuitry to attenuate dangerous sounds over 82dB.
Impact Sport’s performance, comfort and slim, ergonomic design make it a versatile earmuff for almost any environment. What’s more, it’s available in a wide variety of colors and patterns to suit anyone’s preferred application or personal sense of style.
Don’t let gradual hearing loss steal your future enjoyment of the activities you love. Make 2021 and all your future years the best they can be by taking one simple step. Shop Impact Sport now, or visit your favorite Honeywell Howard Leight retailer.
