There are literally hundreds of choices when it comes to earplugs, but some earplugs seem to reign supreme: Alpine MusicSafe Pro, Macks Ultra SafeSound, Macks Pillow Soft Kids, Moldex Spark Plugs, Moldex Mellows, and Heartech Silent Ear. I thought I’d look these customer favourites over and determine why they are so popular!
Musician earplugs are highly popular these days with all the attention given to hearing damage that avid music lovers, rock stars and club employees were encountering without proper hearing protection. Alpine MusicSafe Pro earplugs are affordable music earplugs that allow you to choose the proper level of protection with three different attenuating filters: white for low level pub music, silver for music venues and gold for D.J.’s and others who are exposed to very loud music. I give these a top rating because they offer professional quality in protection, but at affordable rates for those of us who are not highly popular D.J.’s or rock stars!
Macks makes fantastic earplugs, none of which I’ve been disappointed with to date, but their Ultra SafeSound and Pillow Soft Kids earplugs are the most popular. The Ultra SafeSound earplugs are incredibly comfortable and versatile, perfect for drowning out a snoring partner or shooting at the range!
As adults, we learn to live with some discomforts that are necessary for safety (i.e. helmets), but kids are not always as easy to convince. I suppose that’s what makes the highly comfortable Pillow Soft Kids earplugs so popular! Kids don’t mind them because they are so comfortable!
Moldex earplugs typically reign supreme in industrial settings. Their dispensers are very popular with employers and employees alike because they make compliance so much easier. Moldex Spark Plugs earplugs offer a very high level of hearing protection, and just for fun (or compliance checks, I suppose), they are really colourful! The Moldex Mellows earplugs are perfect for folks that need hearing protection, but still need to communicate with each other. These are perfect for music venues as well as industry or construction where the equipment is not too terribly loud.
Heartech Silent Ear earplugs can block 32 decibels, making them perfect for situations that require high levels of protection. They are reusable, making them a popular choice for folks who want to save money. To boot, they are really comfortable with this neat, squishy gel-filled plug that fits comfortably in your ear canal and blocks an incredible amount of sound. Even the noisiest sleeping partner can be easily tuned out!
Overall, there are many great earplugs on the market today, but I can see why the above remain on top!
Cheers!
