Advanced hearing enhancement devices optimized for the most prominent and important sounds for the upland hunter (bird flushes, dog ecollars, cow bells), while providing hearing protection from loud gunshots. 90 device - customized for your specific hearing levels. 60 device - for standard hearing only.
Upland programming also available on Multi-Pursuit AlphaShield.
In case there’s any confusion, let’s set the record straight: upland hunting with unprotected ears causes hearing loss, which impacts overall health and wellness and ruins the hunting experience. And that’s not all. Recent studies show that people with hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia, Alzheimers and other chronic health problems.*
So why do 86% of hunters NOT use hearing protection? Previous products have distorted the sounds of voices and flushing birds, either over-amplified everything or blocked out your surroundings, and just weren’t comfortable. We solved those problems with the TETRA Shield Series. Using our patent-pending Specialized Target Optimization™ (STO), voices and surrounding sounds are clear and natural while AlphaShield® Compression reduces loud gunshots to safe levels.
AlphaShield® is a small, extremely comfortable, one-size-fits-all solution. AlphaShield® provides great comfort and great protection without the need for an ear impression.
TETRA isn’t just hearing protection, it’s hearing perfection.

Our Technology
Specialized Target Optimization
Our hearing devices feature patent-pending Specialized Target Optimization™ (STO). STO is the world’s first hearing technology that isolates and enhances the exact frequencies needed to improve hearing for your specific hunting environment. With STO, voices are clear, and the most important sounds of the upland are enhanced including bird flushes, dog ecollars, and cow bells.
TETRA products instantly shut down and instantly recover for sudden loud noises, like gunshots, providing the wearer full protection at the very moment it’s needed. For more sustained loud inputs, like loud calling, AlphaShield Compression® limits the overall output to a safe level, then returns to normal amplification once the loud input has stopped. Never miss a sound you want to hear, and protect your hearing for life.
ClearComm™ is our proprietary algorithm that accentuates human speech while minimizing noises and distractions that occur outside of the frequency range of human voices. ClearComm is useful for better understanding speech and whispers of hunting partners as well as in other daily activities that require better hearing.

Research
Hearing and the Brain
Research at Johns Hopkins University suggests that more hearing loss increases the risk of dementia. In one study, people with hearing loss were 24% more likely to have Alzheimer’s.*
With hearing loss, our brains have to work much harder to make sense of what is being said, and even harder to filter out speech from unwanted background noise. Simply trying to understand conversations requires more mental energy and concentration.
If basic conversations take up most of our mental energy, there is less opportunity for our brains to sort out and store other information.
At TETRA, our goal is to minimize hearing loss for hunters and shooters, because research shows if we reduce hearing loss, we can also reduce the chance of getting dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Customer Reviews
United StatesGrouse hunting...not so much
Easy to use, blocks gunshot noise, just can't hear the grouse flush.
United StatesGreat product
The tetra upland are every thing they say they are. Amazing product that you can wear comfortably all day long. Being programmed for your individual hearing is great. They are definitely worth the price. I hunt with guys that have others brands and you’re trying to hunt and look back and they are constantly having to adjust them. Put theses in and go hunt.
United StatesTHey work well. howl in the wind. Batteries dont last that long but effective. Also not that comfortable to wear all day
United StatesNot good the left ear continuously has a hum in it no matter what level it's on I have changed batteries. This was the one with the hearing deficit. They don't seem secure in the field without a lanyard
United StatesWorks as advertised. Would be nice if they had a small lanyard. Just to stop the chance of losing one of the ear pro.
