Ear plugs to protect your hearing

Professional musicians know that ear plugs are a necessary component of rehearsals and performances. It doesn't take a very high decibel level to cause hearing damage, and the damage is worsened when the exposure to loud sound levels takes place over extended periods. Too much exposure can mean hearing loss or tinnitus, a constant ringing in the ears that results from internal ear damage. To protect their hearing and prevent tinnitus, musicians, sound engineers, and even race car drivers use ear plugs to block out damaging sound levels.

The major drawback of over-the-counter ear plugs is that they reduce high frequencies more than low frequencies, which causes a muffled sound reduction that compromises the "brightness" of the music. Recent advances in hearing protective devices allow balanced attenuation with no disruption of the frequency response. These advanced ear plugs attenuate sounds in a uniform manner.

Sensaphonics ear plugs - Professional hearing protection

The hearing protection you choose depends on a number of factors. The first factor is the activity you need hearing protection for, such as classical music, rock music, race driving, etc. Specifically what is the level of sound to which you will be exposed? For how long will you be exposed to that level of sound? No matter what kind of hearing protection you're looking for, the first place to look is Sensaphonics.

Sensaphonics ER-9/15/25™ high fidelity filters were developed by Etymotic Research specifically for musicians and production personnel who are exposed to unsafe sound levels. The filter allows balanced sound reduction with no disruption to the frequency response. Definition of mid and high frequencies can be heard clearly. Sensaphonics ER-9/15/25™ devices are different than any others on the American market. The molds are made of a unique, super soft silicone comfort gel material. In addition, the Etymotic filters are completely embedded in our molds, reducing the risk of the filter inadvertently falling out.
