## Description

Hearing loss from exposure to loud sound affects millions of people. Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable. And it's easy to prevent. ETY-Plugs were developed to provide low cost, one-size-fits-most high fidelity earplugs that can be used in a variety of noisy environments. The goal of the ETY-Plugs design was the same as Etymotic's famous Musicians Earplugs: to reduce noise but preserve sound quality; in effect, to turn down the noise but not muffle voices, environmental sounds, or music. These high-fidelity earplugs are effective or anyone who needs to hear accurately in noise: attendees at concerts, clubs, other loud performance venues; aircraft personnel; construction workers; industrial workers; medical/dental workers; workers in environments with loud music such as concert halls, nightclubs or bars; emergency vehicle personnel; athletes; participants in motor sports; truck drivers. Each purchase includes high fidelity earplugs, black cord, carrying case, and instructions. Easy to carry in your purse, backpack or pocket. Available in standard size for smaller ear canals or large size for larger ear canals.

Review: Great earplugs - I like these. They are the fourth pair of "nice" earplugs I've tried (I'm not counting the regular foam ones, which don't even fit into my ears), and have so far been the best. They fit snugly in my ear and really filter the sound well, and generally stay put well too (I dance in them, including fast spins, and they do not slip out at all - however, like most earplugs, you may notice when you smile or move your face in certain ways, they may open up slightly, or if you exercise vigorously in them like me and get sweaty. I've found this with every earplug I've tried, but these seem to do it less than others). They also are not very noticeable with the clear stems, which I like. They are also easy to insert and remove. The only issue I have is that they are uncomfortably tight - at the end of a couple of hours, while my ears are thankfully not ringing, they are in pain from being squeezed by these things. As a caveat, I do have really tiny ear canals, so it may just be me. They also are better than another pair I tried that was really inflexible and even more painful - these at least have some give. Then again, I wonder if these would be snug enough for large ear canals, but maybe the flexibility would make them adaptable. Regardless, they've worked well for me overall and I find myself reaching for these every time and leaving my other ear plugs at home. I haven't used them long enough to see how they'll hold up, but the plastic seems sturdier than another brand I tried with a similar construction. I would recommend trying them, especially if you have smaller ear canals and regular plugs don't fit. Update 7/16: I have changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars and ordered a second backup pair, because these earplugs have remained a favorite. The main downside is that if you are using them during heavy activity when you are sweating and moving a lot, you might find yourself having to push them back in fairly regularly. I only use them for dancing so I don't know if this would be an issue for other activities. However, compared to the benefits and considering the price, I think these are a great buy. Also, people almost never notice that I am wearing them, even when my hair is up, which is great - I love that they are discreet. They also really filter sound well without giving you that muffled feeling. Highly recommended! Update 5/17: I am still using and enjoying these earplugs. However, I must note that they are NOT sufficient for very high volumes. I recently attended a music event and wore these throughout, but experienced horrible ringing in my ears for days afterwards. They are still good earplugs and have saved me at other times, but be aware that for a certain level of noise you will need something with more protection.
Review: A necessary product to own, even if you only use them once - I've owned these for a bit over a year and used them a few times now. Perfect product and as my headline says I think they're vital for anyone who's planning on being in a loud environment (like a concert, rave, etc) to own. I've suffered hearing loss a couple of times in my life due to a physical injury to my head. I've recovered (at least like 95% anyway) but I take hearing damage very seriously now. It's miserable. These earplugs don't alter sounds in any noticeable (or at least not negative) way, just bring down the dB levels overall. So at a rave or a concert or whatever, you'll be hearing the music clearly almost like you didn't have earplugs in, it'll just be quieter. I don't know if I'd say you'll forget they're in, but they definitely aren't uncomfortable. I wore these to a rave where I was almost right by the speakers for like 1-2 hours and I didn't feel the need to take them out at all. 20 dollars sounds like a lot for earplugs, but these aren't just some ordinary plugs you can buy at like CVS (well maybe you can, I've never looked lol). And 20 dollars is a small price to pay for significantly lowering your risk of hearing damage over time if you're someone who is around loud noise a lot, whether for work or fun. Heck, even if you only ever plan to go to a loud event just once in your life, I'd still say these are a must buy to avoid some temporary (or if you're unlucky, permanent) tinnitus after.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the frost tip plug standard fit any larger than the blue tip standard fit?**
A: I think the frost tip is slightly larger. The blue tip fits my ears perfectly and protect me from a VERY LOUD drummer and keyboardist :D

**Q: Can you keep the detachable wire on and still have the same sound quality? Or do they have to be off when using them at a concert for example.?**
A: The string does not affect the sound. Just leave it always on that way if one falls out it’s attached to the other one. It’s essentially designed so they dangle around your neck when not in use. It’s very useful to keep them there a while to dry after a sweaty session.

**Q: Would these block out sounds like sniffling, but still let me hear a lecture?**
A: I don't think it wold block out sniffling and allow you to hear a lecture.  It's much more geared to protecting your ears from loud sounds like loud bass in clubs or a concert and loud street noise like sirens.  They may block out the sniffling, but they would make the lecture hard to hear.

**Q: Are these made with Latex in any way?**
A: ETY-Plugs eartips are made of a thermoelastomer. They do not contain latex.Etymotic Research

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for Concerts
*by M***K on October 7, 2017*

I have never used ear plugs for music events before, but the last time I went to one, I couldn't hear well for about 4 days, with continuous ear ringing. I decided to try these ear plugs. The "standard" size fit me ok, and I think I have small ear canals. An even smaller size might have fit better, but these "standards" were good enough. At first, I didn't think they were even doing anything for me, because they only lowered the volume by a little bit. The music sounded great, and not muffled, just without all the bass vibrating in my ears. And I could still hear the person next to me talking to me, if they were looking at me. However, I took them out during the concert for a few seconds, and noticed the difference immediately. My ears started to hurt and vibrate with the music, which wasn't happening while the ear plugs were in. Winner! Best of all, I came out of the concert with normal hearing for the first time in my life. The tips stick out and are noticeable, but the clear color make it less so. They are also very comfortable. I wore them for a few hours with no problem. I didn't like the carrying case they came with because it was hard for me to pinch it open and access everything (the ear plugs, and the strap).
