HMT Ear Plugs V1.0.0.0

HMT Ear Plugs give you two hearing protection options to buy, three attenuation levels to choose from, and a way to switch radio attenuation without going through a menu. Turn down vehicle, environmental, and character sounds while keeping multiplayer voice chat available at the volume you set.

Features

• You get two variants: HMT-0017 hearing protection with radio, or HMT-0018 in-ear hearing protection without radio.
• Pick 25%, 50%, or 75% attenuation, or switch it off.
• The wireless hearing protection lets the game radio play at its set volume by default.
• With the in-ear version, the game radio is included in the attenuation by default.
• Radio attenuation can be switched whenever you need it.
• Multiplayer voice chat stays at the set voice chat volume in either version, even when the volume is muted.
• You can use the hearing protection while driving and while working with other tools.
• Switch to another hearing protection type and your chosen noise reduction level is kept.
• Each player can have one pair of wireless earplugs and one pair of in-ear earplugs. Boxes bought earlier and purchases still pending also count toward the limit. Sell a pair and you can purchase it again.
• Your player’s inventory is saved with the game progress, but every new game session starts with hearing protection switched off.
