Owned by Altus Brands in Grawn, Michigan
Pro Ears is part of Altus Brands, LLC, which lists its address as 6893 Sullivan Road, Grawn, Michigan. Three partners formed Altus in 2007 to buy small makers of hunting and shooting gear. In 2017 Gary Lemanski bought out the other two, sold the hunting brands and refocused on hearing protection, shooting rests and safe storage. Altus describes itself as a veteran-owned family business. Older descriptions that place Pro Ears in Leawood, Kansas are out of date.
Which muffs say Made in the USA
The Pro Ears home page says its electronic and passive muffs are "Handmade in the USA." The product pages for the five muffs we list, the Predator Gold, Pro 300, Gold II 30, Pro Slim Gold and Pro Tac Slim Gold, each carry a "Made in the USA" line. Altus does not name the town where the muffs are assembled.
Check other models before you buy. The Stealth 28 behind-the-ear unit, the Pro Hear and the Silver 22 print no origin line. Altus also says it makes what it can in the US and works with long-term partners on parts it cannot, so components may come from elsewhere.
Ratings and electronics
The over-ear range runs from NRR 26 to NRR 30 in the models we list, with gel ear seals on some. In the electronic models, Pro Ears says its Dynamic Level Sound Compression circuit compresses sound above 70 dB instead of clipping it, so conversation and range commands stay audible during a shot. Pro Ears also sells custom-molded in-ear plugs, youth muffs and an MRI-safe model.
