GSE Rechargeable Earplugs are ideal for gun sport enthusiasts who need protection from firearm blasts, and for people who need protection from loud continuous noise. GunSport Elite allows natural hearing when no background noise is present, provides sudden impact protection from muzzle blasts and other high impact sounds and gradually protects against loud noise from vehicles or machinery.
Why electronic hearing protection?
Passive hearing protection is cheaper, and involves no electronic circuit or batteries. However, it is not selective in its attenuation, lowering both low and high sounds. That results in conversation and other important yet not too-loud sounds being drowned and lost.
Electronic hearing protection uses a battery powered electronic circuit that samples your surrounding sound levels in real-time. Safe sound levels are passed through to your eardrums as-is, but the moment sound levels become too high – the hearing protection kicks in and attenuates the sound levels that reach your eardrums.
That means you can keep your hearing protection in at all times in the shooting range. When talking to your instructor – you’ll hear them clearly and naturally when no loud background noise is present. When you or someone nearby shoots, or continuous noise from vehicles or machinery becomes present – you are protected automatically!
GSE Rechargeable earplugs use Etymotic’s ACCU•Technology with high-definition balanced-armature drivers, high-sensitivity microphones and proprietary wide-dynamic-range compression K•AMP® signal processing.

Dual-Mode Operation
Automatic Hearing Protection + Blast Protection Mode:
- Allows natural hearing up to 60dB (normal conversation or background music levels)
- Provides 15 dB of automatic hearing protection between 70dB to 115dB (vehicle traffic, power tools, lawn mower)
- 40 dB noise reduction to protects from blasts and other very loud noises 120dB and over
Hearing Enhancement + Blast Protection Mode:
- Amplifies up to 5X in the 40dB to 60dB range (soft to normal conversation levels)
- 35 dB noise reduction to protects from blasts and other very loud noises 120dB and over
NRR 28
An NRR of 28 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 28 decibels across various frequencies.
'NRR' in hearing protection stands for 'Noise Reduction Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the NRR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.
NRR is primarily used as a rating system in North America, while Europe often uses 'SNR' (Single Number Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.
NRR 24
An NRR of 24 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 24 decibels across various frequencies.
'NRR' in hearing protection stands for 'Noise Reduction Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the NRR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

SNR 35
An SNR of 35 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 35 decibels across various frequencies.
'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

SNR 32
An SNR of 32 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 32 decibels across various frequencies.
'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.
