Hearing Protection for Aviation

Cockpit noise in piston aircraft regularly exceeds 90 decibels, a level that causes cumulative hearing damage with repeated exposure. Pilots who fly without adequate hearing protection risk permanent, irreversible hearing loss over time. The good news is that protection does not require an expensive headset upgrade.

Our hearing protection collection covers foam ear plugs with high noise reduction ratings for passengers, ground crew, and mechanics, as well as purpose-built aviation earmuffs for situations where a full communications headset is not required. These options are also useful as backup protection when a headset fails mid-flight or as passenger gear for non-communicating riders.

For pilots who want communication capability alongside hearing protection, our passive headset collection and ANR headset collection cover the full range of noise-attenuating communication headsets.
