PROVEN IN THE FIELD

Warfighters rank hearing loss as the #1 service-connected disability. Aware Defense custom molds integrate seamlessly with comms suites from Gentex, Invisio, Axil, and more, delivering full-seal impulse protection without blocking situational audio.

• Training environments require protection without communication barriers
• Combat zones demand reliable protection with situational awareness

Shooting sports represent America's fastest-growing recreational activity, with participation increasing 24.1% from 2009 to 2022. Yet only 58% of recreational shooters consistently use hearing protection, with 20% of high-volume shooters never using protection.

• Range officer commands become clear and audible
• Shot timing feedback from steel targets remains clear
• Equipment malfunction alerts are not masked

Ramp crews, fuel attendants and maintenance teams endure continuous jet and ground-power unit noise. eFit mobile scanning allows mass fittings during shift rotations, and slim custom molds fit comfortably under double hearing protection.

• Headset compatibility for air traffic control and ground crew communication
• Multiple noise environments from quiet offices to flight line operations
• Regulatory compliance with FAA and OSHA hearing conservation standards

Police officers are 19% more likely to have hearing loss than the general population. SWAT operators and patrol officers need split-second audio cues while facing exposure from sirens (120 dB) and gunfire (160+ dB).

• SWAT and tactical units require impulse protection with communication clarity
• Traffic enforcement officers face continuous highway and siren noise

51% of construction workers have been exposed to hazardous noise levels, yet 52% report not wearing hearing protection. Jackhammers, nail guns and concrete saws create bursts exceeding 120 dB. Our lock-and-key custom fit guarantees proper attenuation.

• Radio compatibility for construction communication systems
• Sweat resistance for outdoor work in all weather conditions
• Quick insertion/removal for varied noise exposure throughout the day

Manufacturing generates 14,500 recordable hearing-loss cases annually—76% occur in this sector alone. Custom protection reduces remake rates, speeds shift changeovers, and raises PPE compliance in plants where traditional foam plugs are correctly inserted only 8% of the time.

• All-day comfort enables consistent wear throughout 12-hour shifts
• Communication integration maintains productivity and safety coordination
• Moisture resistance withstands demanding manufacturing conditions

An estimated 90% of miners have developed hearing impairment by age 50. Construction sand & gravel miners experience the highest industry hearing-loss prevalence at 36%. Aware Defense ear-pro withstands dust, vibration and extreme temperatures.

• Oil and gas operations require explosion-proof hearing protection
• Power generation facilities demand protection from turbine and generator noise
• Remote operations benefit from biometric monitoring capabilities

Transportation workers face unique hearing challenges from diverse noise sources including diesel engines, hydraulic systems, loading equipment, and traffic noise combined with constant communication requirements.

• Radio communication for coordination and safety
• All-weather durability for outdoor loading and transport operations
• Comfort for extended wear during long-haul operations
