Hearing protection for your pet

By Janice Wood · November 1, 2010 ·

4 Paws Aviation has introduced the Ear Gear, new hearing protection for your pet.

Ear Gear hearing protection is made of nylon, aircraft approved sound deadening foam, non-toxic gel cups, webbing, and a safety “break a way” clip. Webbing is used instead of Velcro, so once the Ear Gear is adjusted, it will be the same fitted size every time, according to company officials, who note Velcro has to be re-sized every time and gets caught in the animal’s hair, causing discomfort. The “break a way” clip for under the chin is for safety. If the animal gets caught on anything in the airplane and starts to choke, the “break a way” clip will pull apart saving the animal from choking.

Testing has shown a 41.875dBHL in noise reduction, company officials add.

Small and medium Ear Gear are available now. They can be used with the company’s oxygen hood delivery system. For more information: 4PawsAviation.com
