Lexington, KY: The Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), an independent medical group that focuses  on evidence-based practices in the delivery of audio-vestibular care, has circulated a letter to  Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC-03) and Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) supporting the deregulation  of suppressors through the Hearing Protection Act. Their rationale is simple: suppressors are a tool that  can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and other hearing damage. 

“As an independent medical group, the Academy of Doctors of Audiology has absolutely no vested interest in  suppressors outside of the positive impact that they have on hearing conservation,” said Knox Williams, Executive  Director of the American Suppressor Association. “Their endorsement of the Hearing Protection Act, which would  give law-abiding citizens improved access to suppressors, highlights the importance of these tools when it  comes to firearms safety. We applaud ADA for putting this letter together and actively supporting hearing  conservation.” 

“ADA is committed to advancing public policy initiatives related to hearing loss  prevention and early intervention. Therefore, ADA endorses the Hearing  

Protection Act,”

ABOUT THE AMERICAN SUPPRESSOR ASSOCIATION  

The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is the unified voice of the suppressor community.  We exist for one reason and one reason only: to fight for pro-suppressor reform nationwide. 

The ability of the American Suppressor Association to fight for pro-suppressor reform is tied  directly to our ability to fundraise. Since the ASA’s formation in 2011, we have helped 3 states  legalize suppressor ownership, 19 states legalize suppressor hunting, and defeated attempts  to ban suppressors in 2 states. This would not have happened without your support. Join us in  the fight to help protect and expand your right to own and use suppressors by becoming an  ASA Member at www.ASAMember.com.
