3M Peltor GELHYG Gel Ear Cushion Replacement - Black

The 3M Peltor GELHYG Gel Ear Cushion transforms standard hearing protection into premium comfort gear. These replacement cushions eliminate the hot spots and pressure fatigue that plague foam alternatives during extended wear sessions.

What Makes This Different

Gel-filled construction distributes pressure evenly across the entire ear contact area, reducing hotspots by up to 40% compared to standard foam cushions. The advanced gel formula maintains consistent density across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F, ensuring reliable seal integrity in extreme conditions. Unlike foam that compresses permanently over time, these gel cushions return to original shape after each use.

Key Features

• Medical-grade silicone gel filling provides superior pressure distribution
• Durable vinyl outer shell resists tears, punctures, and chemical exposure
• Universal compatibility with most 3M/Peltor electronic and passive headsets
• Hygienic non-porous surface prevents bacteria buildup and odor retention
• Enhanced acoustic seal improves noise reduction rating by 2-3 dB
• Easy snap-on installation requires no tools or adhesives

Professional shooters report wearing gel cushions for 8+ hour training sessions without discomfort breaks. The improved seal consistency maintains electronic hearing protection performance throughout long competition days. Range safety officers and industrial workers benefit from reduced ear fatigue during mandatory hearing protection periods. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the reliable seal integrity during tactical operations.
