"Greg,

I've now used your ZEM product on my South African plains game hunt in the East Cape. After firing 26 rounds through my 378GNR handgun (equivalent to a 375 H&H Magnum; a very powerful and loud cartridge) in the process of harvesting 7 very good handgun trophies I am very impressed. With the ZEM unit in my ears, I could hear well, including continuing conversation with my professional hunter, and when I shot I'd hear the shot but not to the extent that my ears were ringing. Very impressive. Another hunter on the trip, who was continuing for another week after I left, was complaining about the obvious issue of hearing protection for the shot while still being able to communicate with the PH up to that point that this product solves. I loaned the unit to him for his continuing trip, and he was very appreciative.

Greg, I've spent as much money as necessary to try any solution to this problem. I bought Walker Game Ears with custom silicone ear pieces, and later Ear, Inc. units with silicone inserts, a $1000 experience. As far as I'm concerned, this unit at about $33 delivered makes my $1000 Ear, Inc. units obsolete, and if I was Ear, Inc, I'd be very concerned about this technology.
