## Overview

The Etymotic Research ER20 High-Fidelity Earplugs deliver professional-grade 20 dB noise reduction while preserving sound clarity, making them ideal for music lovers, professionals, and frequent event-goers.

## Description

Hearing loss from loud sound affects millions of people, but noise-induced hearing loss is preventable! ETY-Plugs are the world’s first ready-fit, high-fidelity earplugs that reduce sound levels evenly while preserving sound quality and clarity. ETY Plugs replicate the natural response of the ear, so sound quality is the same as the original, only quieter. Music and voices are clear--not muffled--making ETY Plugs ideal for concerts, clubs, theaters, aircraft, construction, yard work, airshows, parades, and athletic or motorsports events. The standard size fits the majority of ears. ETY Plugs are reusable, but with repeated use, the eartips may lose elasticity. For best performance and retention, if you use your ETY Plugs frequently, replace them every 3-6 months. ETY-Plugs are not recommended for use with impulse noises such as gunfire, or for sleeping or swimming.

Review: Pleasantly surprised! - I had gone to a concert for the first time in awhile a few days before I ordered these. After the show I had a slight ringing in my ears for the first time ever which after 20+ years of going to shows and playing in bands put a shock up my spine. I decided in my ever advancing age that I should invest in some decent hearing protection especially since I would be moving soon and going to shows more often. I have always had issue with most earplugs and IEM as my ear canals are smaller than normal people so unless they are custom fit I tend to have a problem getting a good seal. But I had these recommended to me by many of my musician friends and for the price they were worth a shot. I made my order and in two days desertcart got them right to my door. The build quality is excellent especially for the price point. In the package was the ear plugs, a little piece of a thin rope to connect the ear plugs and allow you to not lose them if one falls out or you have them out for a moment and a carrying case. I did a quick fitting to see if they fit ok and threw them in my bag until a few weeks later when I was at a major outdoor music festival. I used the earplugs all day and part of the night for the entire weekend, through various weather changes. They performed like a champ. They have a very good ability to lower db but still give you clear sound unlike many, many other earplugs I have used throughout the years. In fact at one of the after shows I was at if I didn't have them in the entire set would have been a unlistenable mess due to the speakers being too loud. The fit was a little tight for my ears which did cause some discomfort after a extended period of time (5+ hours) and I did have a issue getting a quality seal occasionally but that it excellent for me normally. For those with normal ears should have zero problems. As for durability I believe as long as you keep them clean they should last a very long time. I have about 30 or so hours on mine so far and they look and feel brand new. I would probably change mine out after a year or so but I shall see how they hold up and report back. In my opinion you can not do much better unless you go for custom molded ear protection, which I implore any serious musician to do. But for the average concert goer these are a fantastic solution.
Review: LIFE-CHANGING - Saving My Sanity - I have never gotten a product that I wanted to give 10 stars to. I want to give this 10 stars. I've always been sensitive to sound. We've always suspected that I'm a high-functioning autistic, something like Asperger's. My dad wears hearing aids because he's technically nearly deaf, and I've always had a slight envy for his ability to literally mute the world. I am not kidding when I say that this product does exactly what I hoped it would do - allow me to hear everything pretty much normally, but weeding out excessive noise that hurts. I seriously want to know the science behind it, because my mind is blown. It's changed my life. I don't fear loud noise. I can double-click the be next to the car to lock it when before I had to go through the doorway to put some padding between myself and the ear-piercing "BEEP!" it makes. I don't fear being around my two twin daughters, whose inability to distinguish what constitutes loud noise has for a long time made my life a living hell. No product has ever been what nearly constituts a miracle. This one, for me, is. I got the regular size - polysomething - as opposed to the clamshell one, so I guess I must have Ferengi ears, according to the other reviews. I intend to take a picture of them with a ruler in it, because it was guesswork to determine what the size might be, and that's really annoying. (Hey, I still need to do that.) I took pictures of me lying down on the pillow with them but don't see the option to upload photos. I took rough measurements with an app, too: 1 and 1/8 about longwise, and 3/18 with the wings, and 5/16 with just the hard widest part of the stem. Estimates. Not clamshell. What I find particularly interesting is that it even slides slightly out of my ears, yet stays in, and stays pretty much effective. During louder times a quick push secures safe sound. I practically forget that they're there. Occasionally there's some discomfort and pain, but it varies, and I greatly prefer that type to a known overt nightmare. THANK YOU, whoever thought of this product and made it! Update: I was going to check to see if I'd already written a review or not. I'm going to be getting another pair. I love these and I see them as a life necessity of you're sensitive to noise. I'm also try out other products too, but that doesn't make me less impressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ do what they are supposed to do
*by T***X on March 14, 2015*

just used at a concert and they definitely attenuate the volume significantly. The sound was not nearly as muffled as drug store foam plugs but still not as perfectly clear as listening without any plugs. No headache or ear ringing after the concert and no diminished hearing the next day and that was the whole point for me. trying to protect my already aging hearing from getting any worse while still enjoying live concerts. They do fit very tightly in my ears and aren't perfectly comfortable (as compared to above mentioned cheap foam plugs) but the sound quality was far better and the attenuation was also greater. If you have really small ear canals these might not fit. My wife couldn't get them past the first ring and couldn't use them. Need to find a child size for her.
