Areas of focus
Military & Special Operations
Military and special operations teams operate in dynamic, high-stress environments where reliable communication is essential. From combat zones to training grounds, clear audio and a secure, comfortable fit can directly impact mission success.
Comply Foam provides maximum noise isolation, stay-in-place comfort under helmets and gear, and seamless integration with tactical comms systems, whether it is in-ear with Comply Tips or over-the-ear with Comply Ear Seal. The result: clearer speech, less fatigue, enhanced focus during extended missions, and most importantly, hearing protection.
Law Enforcement & Public Defense
Law enforcement officers and public defense personnel rely on constant situational awareness, often in chaotic or noisy settings. Whether patrolling urban environments, working crowd control, or executing high-risk warrants, they need reliable audio and hearing protection.
Comply tips ensure their earpieces stay put during movement, block harmful noise without cutting them off from vital communications, and provide lasting comfort throughout long shifts.
Aviation
Pilots, aircrew, and ground support teams in both civilian and military aviation deal with intense background noise from engines, wind, and machinery. Clear communication and hearing protection are critical for safety and performance.
Comply Foam tips and ear seals form a tight seal in and/or around the ear, reducing ambient noise and enhancing radio clarity, making both ideal for use with in-ear aviation and over-the-ear headsets in cockpits or on the tarmac.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Workers in manufacturing plants, construction zones, and heavy industry are exposed to loud equipment and machinery daily. Reliable hearing protection that doesn’t interfere with comms is vital for safety and productivity.
Comply Foam tips reduce hazardous noise levels while ensuring two-way radio messages and alerts are still heard. Their ergonomic fit reduces ear fatigue, making them ideal for all-day use in tough environments.
Hunting & Range Shooting
Hunters and shooting enthusiasts need to protect their hearing without losing awareness of their surroundings or their team. In-ear hearing protection that works with electronic comms is increasingly preferred over bulky earmuffs.
Comply Foam tips provide a snug, consistent fit for in-ear protection systems, improving sound isolation and enhancing mic pickup for situational awareness and communication, whether on the range or in the field.
Audiology & Hearing Health
Audiologists and hearing care professionals use Comply tips to improve patient comfort and acoustic performance across a range of devices. For those with sensitive ears or long wear times, fit and feel matter.
Comply Foam tips and Comply Soft Wraps adapt to the ear canal, creating a gentle yet secure seal that enhances sound quality and device retention, whether on custom monitors, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment.

Hearing Loss is Preventable
37.5 Million
“Hearing loss affects approximately 37.5 million Americans aged 18 and over, including more than half of those over age 75. Hearing problems—including tinnitus, which is a perceived ringing or other type of noise in the ears—are by far the most prevalent service-connected disability among American Veterans.”
