Guns are loud, OK? And if you’re exposed to gunfire for any length of time, the odds are pretty good you’ll suffer hearing loss — unless you cover your ears. But I’m here to tell you that it’s pretty difficult to shoot a gun when you have both index fingers firmly planted in your ears. Thankfully, there’s a better solution — hearing protection in the form of earmuffs, or better yet, comfortable pods designed to fit inside the ear canal.

TETRA AmpPods provide gun hunters with the means to protect their hearing by suppressing ear-splitting gun blasts when on the range or in the field. And you can even tune out that over enthusiastic guy on the duck call next to you in the blind. But here’s the bonus — they can also make you a more effective hunter.

AmpPods are premium hearing devices designed to fit inside the ear canal to maximize the ear’s natural sound collection, enabling hunters hear the subtle sounds of wildlife better and judge distance and direction. They do this with Specialized Target Optimization (STO) technology that isolates and enhances the exact frequencies needed to improve hearing for specific hunting environments.

STO accentuates gobbles, yelps, clucks and purrs for turkeys; barks and bugles for elk; and grunts, bleats and footsteps for deer while keeping other sounds at normal, natural levels. Because they help you hear better in the field, AmpPods are also helpful to bowhunters.

With TETRA AmpPods you can get the best of both worlds — great protection from gunshots while enhancing your hearing when hunting anything from upland birds to waterfowl to big game this fall. And because they amplify the sounds you want to hear you won’t be saying “what?” to your hunting buddies all day. MSRP: $699/Advanced/Pair; $999/Premium/Pair. Contact: www.tetrahunt.com
