Some stories remind us why we do what we do.
This one came straight from a PROHEAR customer — and it stopped us in our tracks.

An Ordinary Day That Turned Dangerous

It started out like any other summer afternoon. One of our customers had just pulled out the mower, ready to tackle the backyard. He had his PROHEAR EM033 headphones on — something he wore almost every time he mowed.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the unthinkable happened.

“I purchased model EM033 from Amazon last July and use them constantly. I recently had an accident mowing, and the machine flipped over. I believe the headphones saved my head from injury, as they were broken when I got up. I believe they could be repaired by replacing one side.”

When he shared this with us, we couldn’t help but pause. The PROHEAR EM033 earmuffs — designed first and foremost for hearing protection — had just protected him from something much worse.

Beyond Blocking Noise

Most of us think of earmuffs as a simple shield against loud sounds — like the roar of a mower, the crack of a gunshot, or the buzz of a chainsaw. But this story shows they can do even more.

The EM033, with its sturdy build and padded design, acted as a physical buffer in that critical moment. It wasn’t made to stop accidents like this — but in this case, it did. And that’s something we’ll never take lightly.

It reminded us that hearing protection isn’t just about your ears. It’s about your safety, your health, and sometimes, even your life.

Why This Hits Home

We talk a lot about noise-induced hearing loss — a condition that affects millions worldwide and is 100% preventable with the right gear. But this story drives home another point:

• You never know when your safety gear will make the difference.

• Choosing reliable, well-built protection isn’t optional — it’s essential.

• Sometimes, what feels like a small purchase can end up being a lifesaver.

And honestly? Reading stories like this makes us feel incredibly grateful — not just because our product did its job, but because it kept someone safe to go home to their loved ones that day.
