SWATCOM SC21 Pro Impulse Ear Plugs
Get higher noise protection levels by wearing the PRO Impulse with over-ear headsets. Now featuring a new universal fit, these plugs come ready with soft in-ear tips for immediate ‘off the shelf’ use.
Their compact design ensures Impulse filters remain unobtrusive. Wear them comfortably for extended periods, especially under communications headsets where you need double protection. Originally developed for military users, Impulse filters successfully combat gunfire, artillery noise, and industrial impulses from nail guns, drop hammers, and riveting operations.
Notice how our unique filter technology allows airflow while preserving spatial awareness during hunts or combat. Unlike competing products, this ventilation minimises the occlusion effect. Additionally, it reduces ear canal irritation while maximising comfort. Consequently, you’ll experience fewer inflammation and infection risks.
We rigorously tested Impulse filters against extreme conditions:
- Humidity immersion cycles
- Thermal extremes (-40°C to +75°C)
- 12-hour continuous wear trials
- Sandstorm exposure
Maintenance is simple – just wash regularly with water and normal detergents. Therefore, Impulse fits any environment, indoor or outdoor.
Choose custom mould options for constant 15dB SNR attenuation (estimated), suitable for continuous 100dB exposure. For impulse threats, rest assured our ANSI IPIL-certified protection reaches 33.1dB maximum.
Important notice: Always conduct an on-site noise assessment before purchase. This ensures you select the precise protection level required for your environment.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOOTING EAR PROTECTION
Designed specifically for the purpose of protecting your hearing from high-impulse gunshot noise, shooting ear defenders are a must-have item.
Every trigger pull unleashes a blast that can spike above 160 dB—louder than a jet taking off at close range. At that intensity, permanent inner-ear damage starts in a single shot.
Unlike a bruised shoulder, noise-induced hearing loss never heals; the tiny hair cells that translate vibration into sound simply don’t grow back. Tinnitus—the maddening “ringing” many shooters develop—often follows the same irreversible path.
Don’t risk permanent hearing damage; wear adequate and certified ear protection for shooting when in the vicinity of gunfire.


CHOOSING THE RIGHT EAR DEFENDERS FOR SHOOTING
When you pick shooting ear defenders, start with the numbers: look for at least 25 dB SNR (≈ 22 dB NRR) for outdoor rifles and shotguns, and 30 dB SNR or higher—or “double-up” with plugs—on indoor ranges or around magnum calibres.
Decide whether you need electronic muffs (which amplify voices and clamp gun-shot noise in milliseconds) or simpler passive ones; then make sure the cups clear your stock, seal around slim-temple glasses, and stay comfortable all session—gel cushions and a sub-350 g weight help.
Match the design to your environment: low-profile, camo-coloured muffs with fast cut-off for hunting; wind-screened mics for clay grounds; high-attenuation or combined plug-and-muff setups for echo-prone indoor bays.
