How They Work

If you’ve ever worn foam or any other generic earplugs or concert ear buds to a concert or on a gig, you know that they can affect sound quality and your listening enjoyment to a great extent. This is due to the extensive high frequency attenuation typically provided by these plugs. Custom fit Musicians Earplugs (TM) offer high fidelity custom hearing protection, which results in a much better quality hearing experience for you.

Experience the Difference Musician Ear Plugs Can Make

With our musician ear plugs, sound quality is clear and natural, not muffled, and noise fatigue is reduced. Designed by Etymotic Research, Musicians Earplugs are designed to replicate the natural response of the open ear. Sound heard with these custom earplugs has the same quality as the original, only quieter. The result is that speech and music are clear–you still hear the blend clearly, feel the bass, and distinguish each tone.

Accurate sound reduction is achieved by combining a patented filter with the specific acoustics of a custom earmold. The combination of the two produces a resonance at approximately 2700 Hz (as in the normal ear) resulting in a smooth, flat attenuation.

Depending on your personal hearing needs and requirements, three types of attenuator buttons are available. The number corresponds with the amount of sound reduction provided in decibels (dB):

• ER·9
• ER·15
• ER·25

While designed for Musicians, Musicians Earplugs (TM) are great for other professionals who need good fidelity in addition to hearing protection (e.g. dentists, dental hygienists, etc). They offer the great benefit of maintaining the natural responses of the ear, so that everything sounds the same, just quieter.

Musicians Earplugs (TM) require earmold impressions which will be taken by a qualified Pindrop hearing care professional. If you want clearer, more natural sound quality, you will love our custom musician ear plugs. Contact us today to make an appointment.
