Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SL Impulse differ from passive foam earplugs?
Unlike standard foam earplugs that block all sound indiscriminately, the SL Impulse uses electronic impulse suppression technology to instantly compress harmful sounds — like gunshots — above 85 dB while actively amplifying ambient sounds below that threshold. This means you can hear conversations, range commands, and environmental cues clearly while still being fully protected from noise-induced hearing damage.
Are these compatible with shooting earmuffs for double hearing protection?
Yes. Because of their low-profile in-ear design, the SL Impulse units can be worn simultaneously with over-ear earmuffs for maximum hearing protection — a setup often recommended for high-volume shooting environments such as indoor ranges or when firing rifles with muzzle brakes or suppressors.
How long does the battery last, and what type does it use?
The SL Impulse runs on standard size 10 hearing aid batteries, which are widely available and inexpensive. Battery life varies depending on usage, but most users can expect approximately 100–150 hours of use per battery. It's a good practice to carry a spare pair during extended range sessions or multi-day hunting trips.
