Description and Rationale for World's First Waterproof Patented Electronic Ear Plug

Introduction
When it comes to presenting current state of the art technology for electronic ear protection E.A.R.'s new "HUNTER" doesn't fall short with consumer expectations. It is the newest member of our electronic "Behind-the-Ear" series of electronic ear protection and above all it maintains a patented design for being "WATERPROOF". This unique design is like having a built in insurance program against moisture related repairs. Another feature of the "HUNTER" it the telecoil system that permits it to be used with 2-way radios without wires to the ear. And finally is the availability of potentiometers that provide the advantage of frequency control.

1. First... What are the product specifications for the "HUNTER"?

The "Hunter" is a high quality device with the following specifications:

Maximum Output Frequency Range Battery Size Est. Battery Life Tips Tubing Windscreen in front of Microphone Color Warranty

111 dB 2000 Hz to 6000 Hz 13 460 + hours 3 sizes Non-Disposable Thick walled YES Black and Beige 1 year

2. What is the cost of the "HUNTER?"
The "Hunter" is priced at $380.00 per ear or $730.0 per set. If you want to use these units with 2-way radios you will need to add an "INDUCTION LOOP" for $90.00.

3. Please describe the "WATERPROOF" features.
The key to the "HUNTER's" unique waterproof design is the patented waterproof screen that has been installed over the microphone sound port and battery compartment. The screens have microscopic holes that allow sound and air to pass though but prohibit water from entering.

Although the "Hunter" was designed to be waterproof, it is suitable for moderate surface swimming but not for diving. Since the greatest enemy to electronic ear protection and hearing aids is excessive moisture the "HUNTER" has been professionally designed to minimize moisture related problems.

4. What is the purpose of the telecoil?
Originally this product was designed for law enforcement and military groups needing durable wireless radio communications in addition to being "WATERPROOF." Our engineers retained the original design so it could be used by consumers using the "HUNTER" with 2 way radio communications. We call this feature a "PRIVATE EAR" upgrade.

5. How do I use the T-Coil option?
You can turn the operating switch to the "T" MODE on the backside of the "Hunter." Then you will connect an "INDUCTION LOOP" to the microphone port of your 2-way radio. You will also place the INDUCTION LOOP around your neck and it will function as an antennae. When someone speaks to you... you will be able to hear the communication privately without wires to your ears. This function is excellent for hunters, instructors, law enforcement officers, military, camera crews, trainers for jockeys, etc. (Types of 2 Way Radios that can be used include MOTOROLA, KENWOOD, MIDLAND, etc.)

6. Are there any other advantages to the behind the ear over custom fit?
The "Behind-The Ear" design is an excellent choice for those who want to share the device with someone else. Simply change the tips and the unit can be assigned to another individual. This is a critical feature for law enforcement officers or security agents where there is high turn over and the units can be assigned to another person. They are also compact and user friendly.

7. What about "WIND NOISE?"
This is a serious problem with less expensive units that don't protect or shield the microphone port. The ear hook that links the "HUNTER" to the tubing and ear insert is designed to shield the microphone port.
