moulded ear plugs

Turn the noise down, not off

Filtered ear plugs cut harmful noise while you still hear voices, engines and the music. Tell us what you do and we will point you to the plug made for it.

What do you need them for?

How a filtered ear plug works

A foam plug blocks the ear canal, so you lose voices and detail along with the noise. An Auritech plug has a small ceramic filter inside a shaped sound channel. The filter lets a measured amount of sound through, tuned to the activity: more reduction for a gunshot, an even cut for music, and pressure control for flying.

The result is protection you can leave in. You can talk, hear warnings and enjoy the music, so the plugs stay in for the whole time you need them.

How loud is it, really?

Hearing damage can start at 85dB. Most of these are well past it, and the louder it is, the less time it takes.

  1. 140 dB Shooting A small .22 rifle shot
  2. 130 dB Gigs and festivals Amplified music at a festival or club
  3. 120 dB Work Factory machinery
  4. 105 dB Motorbikes Wind noise at speed
  5. 100 dB Playing music Drums and brass in a rehearsal
Figures from American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and Auritech. The 85dB line is the level at which hearing protection must be worn at work under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. The scale runs from 60dB, about the level of normal conversation, to 140dB.

The Auritech range

Six universal fit plugs, each with its own ceramic filter. All are washable, reusable and silicone free, and come with a metal carry case.
