Product Description

ETY-Plugs (TM) earplugs use patented technology that replicates the natural response of the ear canal so that sound heard with these earplugs is as clear as the original, just quieter. ETY-Plugs earplugs have nearly the same fidelity as Etymotic's Musicians Earplugs (TM) (custom earplugs worn by professional musicians) and are a low cost alternative. Hearing loss is a function of exposure time, the average sound level, and the peak level of very loud sounds. Exposure to excessive noise can cause permanent hearing loss depending on the intensity and duration of the sound. Some persons are more susceptible to hearing loss from high-level sound than others. Protect your ears. In high-noise environments, wear Ety-Plugs. Includes one pair of Ety-Plugs, carrying case, black neck cord and instructions.

I came down with Tinnitus a couple of years ago and needed something to knock the edge off any loud sound and the ER-20 plugs are perfect. You will never find me without a pair in my pocket or on my key chain. You can't really use foam in moderately loud situations if you want to hear anything. Over 90+% of needed hearing protection is in the 10-20db or less range. I always wear them in Church, watching TV with my family, loud restaurants, and quite a bit when driving the car (road noise) or running my Rainbow Vacuum. They work well in the movie theater or at a sporting event where the crowd has loud outbursts. The ER-20's last a long time and I can wear them many hours at a time at a time and also adjust how deeply I want to put them in. The great thing is you can still hear people talking to you, but they remove background noise and protect you from sudden sounds. I usually order them in sets of about five and give some away to friends. I would never expose myself to loud music or get in a loud situation and leave myself unprotected again. If only I had these growing up, I would not have Tinnitus today!

I play drums in a band. Regular earplugs muffle the sound , these reduce the volume without as much muffle effect. The music still sounds a little muffled, but these type of plugs allow more treble ( highs) through than conventional plugs. I wear them at practice, gigs and when I go to see other bands too. I can sit up near the stage and no ringing ears after.

These easy-to-use musicians' earplugs do exactly what they're designed to do...protect your hearing, while letting you hear all the high, lows, and middle frequencies. Perfect!!

Pretty good.
I've only used these once for a short time while I was at a concert. They work really good. You can hear things pretty well and it's always a plus not to have so much ringing in... Read more

Perfect for Concerts
I bought these after I went to a couple of Alice in Chains concerts and had my ears ringing well into the next day. I decided to try these out after reading some of the reviews. Read more

Great for concerts and generally loud places
I've used these at several concerts. They reduce the overall noise level so that it's not painful and yet you can still hear the music beautifully.

One could say these are the "clear" choice
I've gone to a number of concerts in my days. One thing that always bothered me was the ringing that persisted for a few hours after such amazing events. Read more

Good for motorcycling...
This is my second pair of ER20 earplugs. The first pair, purchased in 2000 were bigger and less comfortable than these that I purchased in December, 2009. Read more
