Product Information

If you find yourself considering earplugs, it's likely you've reached a stage in your music journey where you deeply value your hearing. You should do it anyway, but being good at something that requires good hearing will certainly help sharpen the focus. Whether you're a professional musician whose livelihood relies on your ears or a passionate hobbyist who turns to music as an escape from the routine of everyday life, the importance of being able to hear clearly cannot be overstated. Without the ability to hear accurately, the tasks at hand – playing, recording, or simply listening to music – become significantly more challenging. Fortunately, there are simple, inexpensive steps you can take to safeguard your hearing and ensure a long-lasting enjoyment of your musical pursuits.

Ringing or buzzing in the ears are commonplace after attending a show, but these are warning signs and should absolutely not be ignored. Like a coin with both sides tails, ear damage from loud noise can manifest as hearing loss, a well-known concept, or its equally nasty counterpart, Tinnitus. Scary Facts About Tinnitus Best comfort, but some of the higher tones get lost. Has a cap for the earplugs tube you can have open or shut to allow more or less sound. I tend to use these (with the cap closed) for most concerts until the band I came for starts playing, then I switch to the Loop for the better audio quality. If for some reason I was forced to choose to only use one set of earplugs, I would choose these. But also my ears are SUPER sensitive about anything being in them even in the slightest, it causes me physical pain. If you can tolerate any type of earbud headphones, I'd recommend the Loop Experience Pro Earplugs. A minimalist design and a clear outer sound tube, Vibes are designed to be easily accessible and virtually invisible. The issue I found was — yes, the tubes are clear, making them harder to see, but at 22mm in length they are far from unobtrusive for anyone that uses them for things such as — under a helmet when riding a motorcycle, under headphones when DJ’ing, and under a beanie or hat when… well just about any time you are wearing one of these things and are requiring hearing protection. With reduced noise levels up to 31dB from peak frequencies, horn players, drummers and even singers can enjoy invisible comfort and protection all dayWatch out for vent designs. They reduce occlusion by creating a greater opening for natural airflow in and out of the ear. This can affect the amount of insertion loss and protection the device offers! In most musical situations, a normal listener would not enjoy, nor tolerate much more than 10-15dB's more sound pressure than other normal hearing listeners uncomfortable limit. That 10dB would represent double the volume perceptually. Thus, 10dB seems that a good place to start. If we start with 10dB attenuation at 500Hz.... where do we go at 1KHz and 2.7KHz...etc? Remember that our ears naturally resonate the most at 2700 Hz and the equal loudness contours show the ear is most "sensitive" to loudness at the 2700Hz region. When we amplify sounds, our ears have no way to notch out this region. In fact, your ears can probably handle 85 dB for about eight continuous hours before it becomes harmful.

By studying the natural resonance of the average ear canal, we can also see a secondary peak of 9dB at around 4000Hz and gradually reducing to no additional resonance beyond 8000Hz. (Some people also experience the above mentioned "insertion effect" at 3000Hz but not as often as the lower frequencies.) What we can say is that these higher frequencies, above the secondary peak, especially beyond 8000Hz, also show an improved loudness growth function. After all....just add on another octave and you are practically at the maximum higher frequency range of hearing. Loudness growth approaches infinity. In other words, the higher frequencies also have a natural built-in attenuator. But, here is the catch. We know that higher frequencies are rarely sustained for any period of time....at least that which remains audible. The lower threshold of hearing in the higher frequencies is easily masked by high intensity, low-frequency sounds. For example, the bass drum or bass guitar will easily overtake the sustained resonance from a high-frequency cymbal roll. If we reduce the high frequencies by the same amount as the peak frequencies, we get a very unnatural sound. The higher frequencies have a wider range in which the nerves of the cochlea overlap to receive the signals. Thus, there is more power perceived for noise stimuli in high frequencies than for pure tone stimuli. We assume for this discussion, that much of the music generated above 4000Hz is a broader band and not pure tones. For relative reference, the highest piano note only goes to 4186Hz. No two people have perfectly identical ears. They’re all a little different. I refer not only to my weirdly squared off left earlobe, and how it contrasts with my much more attractively rounded right, but also to the shape of my ear canals, and how they differ from yours.

Earasers can be cleaned and reused, and when the silicone tip starts to get old, they can be renewed with new sleeves. Both have their pros and cons, so it can be tough to decide which is the best option for you. Let’s take a look at the key differences in sound quality between these two types of earplugs: Some people however claim that Earasers leave their ears ringing after extended use. We didn’t see where this was a major complaint with Eargasms, though some people have the issue. I also cannot stand earbuds, they are physically painful to me immediately upon putting them in my ears. I can only use on ear headphones even for hands free (yes I look ridiculous). So when I talk about comfort, I'm speaking from that perspective. The clear option offers medium protection (NRR -11dB) and are suitable for most loud events such as nightclub gigs, band practice, and music festivals.

Eargasm earplugs offer ergonomics in terms of fit and comfort. Etymotic on the other hand offer efficiency, sound quality and overall value for money. Conclusion Let’s start with the good news. Hearing damage is almost always a process caused as the result of repeated exposure to high noise levels for extended periods of time, so it’s preventable.

For noise levels that high, safe exposure ranges from around 10 seconds (120 dB) up to 15 minutes (100 dB), well before the end of just about any concert. And unlike your run-of-the-mill foam plugs you get behind the bar, the Eargasms do a great job of still allowing you to hear conversations clearly, including crowd noise — which was a pleasant surprise. All in all, they’re silent where they need to be, without compromising sound quality. Earplug Comfort Custom earmolds are necessary for a proper fit and the best sound attenuation. Without the need for a medical professional or a higher price point, Earasers offer a great alternative to customized plugs at less than half the price. Earasers also offer some unique features that make them stand out from their many competitors.
