DefendEar DX3: Custom Digital Noise Suppression with Three Modes Westone DefendEar Digital DX3 Custom Shooter's Ear Plugs let you take control of your auditory environment with three programmed modes: one for clay shooting, one for game hunting, and an all-new tactical mode for range shooting. All modes provide protection from hazardous gunshot sounds. The DX3 protects your ears from blast noise while enhancing safe ambient sounds, giving you the advantage when it comes to detecting game sound and other subtle noises without putting your ears at risk. The custom fit ensures the earplugs will stay comfortably and securely in your ears while you move and fire, letting you go from range or sport shooting to hunting with just one pair of DefendEar digital ear plugs. You can customize your DefendEar Digital DX3 ear plugs to suit your tastes and lifestyle, with body color options ranging from covert to neon, and from custom camo to high-glam glitter. Six metallic door color options add a sleek, modern look to your digital hearing protection. DefendEar lets you express your own personal style with the DX3: the perfect gear for your unique ears. For the ultimate edge up, check out the
DefendEar DX5, with five programmed modes, a wind noise reduction algorithm, gunmetal module finish, and wireless communications capabilities.
DefendEar DX3: Three Modes to Choose From 
In all modes, the DX3 provides protection against impulse noise, and amplifies safe surrounding sounds so you can maintain situational awareness in any setting, indoor or outdoor.
Game Mode: Outdoor Game Shooting Optimized for outdoor game shooting. In this mode, the DX3 reduces output levels and protects against hazardous impact noise when a gun blast occurs. Afterwards, sound amplification returns and the volume level normalizes immediately, so you can keep tabs on your surroundings, hear game clearly, and protect against gunshot noise, all at the same time.
Clay Mode: Outdoor Clay Range Optimized for outdoor clay shooting. In this mode, the DX3 is programmed to handle gunshot impact noise from rapid firing thanks to other shooters being nearby. More shots fired more frequently means more robust protection is needed, so this program was created to protect against loud, prolonged periods of frequent blast noise.
Range Mode: Indoor Range Firing/Large Caliber Optimized for fast action shooting. In this mode, the DX3 reduces the gain to eliminate some active background sounds, such as those created when you run through crunching leaves or gravel, keeping irritating ambient sounds to a manageable minimum. Meanwhile the amplification lets you hear voices and maintain communication, while shutting off immediately to protect against blast noise. Though each program is optimized for a general setting or condition, you may find that your own preferences vary. No two sets of ears are the same, and perception of sound varies with each individual, so trying different programs during your different activities will allow you to find the mode that works best for you. The protection from gun blast noise remains constant in all modes, so you can experiment safely.

Vocal Feedback The DX3 offers vocal feedback for intuitive operations, with vocal alerts that tell you which program is running, when the volume is at maximum or minimum, and when the battery power is getting low. It's like having your own personal assistant built into your digital hearing protection, keeping you in touch with the info you need exactly when you need it. A feature exclusive to the DefendEar DX3 and DX5 models.
Mute Function The DX3's power button doubles as a mute function, letting you instantly shut off the hearing amplification with a touch. With the ability to shut out external noise on the fly, this function is perfect for competition shooters and anyone else who may need to be able to concentrate on a moment's notice. Gun blast protection still remains active while amplification is muted, so you can focus in safety.
Volume & Mode Auto-Save Another feature exclusive to the DefendEar DX3 and DX5 models, this auto-save function lets you keep your digital shooter's hearing protection ready to go in between uses. The DX3 remembers your last-used program and volume settings, so you can pick up exactly where you left off, no tweaking or tuning required.
