Did I mention that the company was founded by a Doctor of Audiology who became nationally renowned for treating hunters who injured their hearing? Remarkable Hearing ProtectionДЄnd as amazing as all of that is, it is not the most important part.

Since TetraвЂ™s devices are classified for sporting use, not medical use, they can produce them much cheaper using the same components. The hearing aid technology alone costs around $6,000 per pair if you were to buy medical grade units with the appropriate inspections, certifications, and insurance paperwork. They use state of the art hearing aid technology coupled with TetraвЂ™s patented game sounds recognition and amplification technology to create the most amazing piece of hunting equipment IвЂ™ve ever seen. They essentially work like hearing aids, because they are. Like those who never again thought they would hear a turkey gobble, or a deer walk through the woods, or a wood duck whistle. TetraвЂ™s are giving so many hunters new life and passion. If both ears are bad they can turn them both up so someone with very poor hearing can walk into the woods with perfect hearing. If your left ear is weaker, then they will turn up the volume in the left unit so you can hear perfectly with both ears. When you order them, you take a brief online hearing test to determine how well each ear hears. The other things the Tetras do is fix your hearing.

For example, You can just tap side of the Alpha Shield Multi-Pursuits to cycle between the sound profiles for deer, waterfowl, turkeyвЂ™s and more. You can either buy the Tetra device that fits the game you want to hunt, or pay a little more to get the Multi-Pursuits and have them programed with multiple game sound profiles. In fact I never notice the wind blow while I am wearing these, not something I can say for any other electronic hearing protection IвЂ™ve used. The AlphaShields can amplify the sound of a birds wings flapping while simultaneously filtering out sounds that you do not want, like wind noise. So whether it is the whistle, quack, or honk of waterfowl, turkey calls, pheasants flushing out of the bushes, or even the sounds of deer walking through the woods, you will be able to hear them more clearly and from further away by using the Tetras. So when a duck quacks or a turkey gobbles the Tetra devices recognize those sounds as game sounds and amplify them for the hunter.

Tetra studio recorded thousands of different game calls and sounds and digitized those sounds to develop complex audio algorithms. The TetraвЂ™s preserve the experience of the hunt, allowing you to hear like normal. In fact, hearing protection is not complicated, you can protect your hearing by putting your fingers in your ears or using foam ear plugs. Tetra has done far more than just make hearing protection. I have even used them for frequent shooting hunts like waterfowl and upland birds, for hunts that involve less shooting like turkey and deer, and also while archery hunting. And I have indeed used the Multi-Pursuits AlphaShields on every hunt I have been on for last 1.5 years or so. They actually make you a better hunter.Д«efore I go on, I should say this review is not sponsored nor requested by Tetra. They are much more than hearing protection. Whether you are hunting ducks, geese, pheasants, turkeys, deer, elk, or anything else, the Tetra AlphaShields are a game changer.
