The name Etymotic means true to the ear. Etymotic’s products are used by scientists, hearing practitioners, hearing-impaired consumers, professional and amateur musicians, and others who insist on superior sound quality. Etymotic GunSport Pro Series Electronic Earplugs were developed to mitigate hearing damage and tinnitus sustained by an alarmingly high percentage of deployed soldiers. Despite risks to hearing from loud machinery and blasts, most warriors decline to wear hearing protection because they find it interferes with situational awareness. These earplugs are designed to restore sound that is blocked when the ear canal is sealed and allows you to hear naturally, as though there were nothing in the ears. They prevent ear damage from loud impulse noise using a new adaptation of the original, high-fidelity K-AMP integrated circuit. GSP1 is a good choice for hunters who want to hear naturally and be protected from sudden firearm blasts when there isn’t time to insert hearing protection. Etymotic's K-AMP hearing aids have been used by hunters for many years to help them locate game while protecting their ears. Increased loudness can be selected in order to boost the faint sounds of speech and nature and improve hearing at a distance. Additional clarity is built in for high-pitched sounds which are most difficult to hear, and the GSP1 permits natural hearing until a blast occurs. Since 1983, Etymotic products have improved the lives of those with hearing loss, protected hearing, and enhanced the listening experience of musicians and music lovers everywhere.
