SilentEar -- The Most Effective Reusable Ear Plug on the Planet |
 |
|
|
| |
|
SilentEar ear plugs offer
an NRR of 32, meaning only the low-frequency noises
that travel to the ear through the bones in your head aren't filtered out --
and no plug can block those low-frequency sounds. SilentEar plugs are manufactured by
Heartech in Israel and distributed in the
USA exclusively by The Ear Plug Super Store (www.earplugstore.com).
SilentEar ear plugs are available with yellow or clear flanges. |

Q. How much protection do SilentEar plugs provide?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. SilentEar plugs provide an
NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) of 32dB. This is the highest NRR
available from any reusable ear plug made anywhere in the world today. To
achieve more protection than you get from SilentEar, you would have to
wear a pair of NRR 32 earplugs underneath a pair of hearing
protection ear muffs. SilentEar ear plugs are designed to offer the
ultimate in protection, and may not be appropriate for situations where
only a small amount of noise reduction is needed. |
|
Q.
What does an NRR of 32 really mean?
||
back to FAQ |
 |
A.
SilentEar ear plugs provide an
incredible noise reduction rating (NRR) of 32. The most protection
available from earplugs alone is 33dB, and that comes from the highest
rated disposable foam ear plugs, but because foam plugs are so
difficult to insert properly, very few users ever experience the full
laboratory rating of 33dB.
Because with SilentEar you simply
push the plugs gently into place, with no need to "roll" or otherwise
prepare the plugs, you are much more likely to experience the full 32
NRR that SilentEar can provide.
But what does an NRR of 32 really mean, and what can SilentEar plugs
really do? |
|
First, NRR is a
standard measure of how much sound a protective device such as ear
plugs or ear muffs can filter out. The higher the NRR, the
greater the protection. But how much is 32 decibels (dB) of
noise reduction?
To put it into perspective:
SilentEar ear plugs provide a high enough NRR that the sound of a
gunshot (about the loudest amount of noise most people are likely to
encounter) would be reduced to about the
volume of a loud power tool -- and the sound of a power tool would be
reduced from a dangerous 100 dB to a harmless sound just a few
decibels above normal conversation; about the volume level of a vacuum
cleaner. And the neighbor's loud TV or the
love-of-your-life's snoring, will be reduced to a whisper, so you can
get the sleep you crave.
What this means
for you: with SilentEar earplugs in place, dangerous noises will be
reduced to a much safer volume, and typical ambient noises like music,
voices, and outside traffic will be reduced to a whisper -- or they
will simply fade away altogether. |

Q.
Are SilentEar ear
plugs comfortable?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. SilentEar ear plugs are made
of soft, pre-molded silicone rubber, so SilentEar will never dry out,
harden, or crack. SilentEar is designed with low-pressure,
low-profile flange tips -- available in both easy-to-see yellow and
minimum-visibility clear -- to allow low stress on the ear canal
without slipping or falling out. SilentEar earplugs insert easily,
without the uncomfortable rolling, molding, or stuffing normal foam and
wax plugs require. And unlike other reusable ear plugs, SilentEar
is available in three sizes to ensure a perfect fit for nearly everyone,
every time. |
|
Q.
How does SilentEar
compare to moldable wax and silicone plugs?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. Where moldable silicone and
wax plugs must be kneaded and shaped before insertion, SilentEar ear
plugs are pre-formed out of soft silicone rubber, making them easy to
put in and simple to take out. Wax plugs can melt at high temperatures
and dissolve in water, making them a bad alternative in any situation,
but SilentEar earplugs will never melt or dissolve under normal
usage. Plus, wax and silicone moldable plugs gather and collect a little
more ear wax and dirt every time they're used, and there is no way to effectively clean a moldable ear plug. By contrast, SilentEar plugs can be washed
using ordinary soap and warm water,
ensuring both comfort and cleanliness for a long time -- even years. |
|
Q.
How do I know
which size is right for me?
|| back to FAQ |
 |
A.
SilentEar ear plugs are
available in small, average, and large sizes. Ear canals are as unique
as fingerprints and it is impossible to predict the size you need based
on your body stature, so our dealers usually offer a significant
discount on a trial pack that includes all three sizes of SilentEar. The
trial pack is highly recommended unless you already know what size of
SilentEar you need. A significant number of users will even need a
different size in each ear, and the trial pack will allow you to
determine which size(s) is(are) best for all the members of your family
as well. SilentEar is safe and non-toxic, but as
with any ear plug, infants and toddlers should never use SilentEar ear
plugs without constant adult supervision, as the plugs are small and
could be a choking hazard. |

|
Q.
Can I wear
SilentEar while sleeping?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. Yes. SilentEar ear plugs
are soft and comfortable, so they won't hurt your ears while you sleep. And with their low-profile flange design, SilentEar won't catch on
pillows or sheets, and they won't fall out during the night. |
|
Q.
Does SilentEar
help with snoring?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. Absolutely. SilentEar
blocks sound from all frequencies audible to the human ear, meaning that
no matter how high-pitched or deep the snores keeping you awake are,
SilentEar ear plugs will help filter out the sound. |
|
|
Q.
Do SilentEar plugs
stay in?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. SilentEar earplugs are designed
to be put in simply and easily, and once in place, to stay there without falling out. SilentEar's
unique flange design helps to ensure that SilentEar ear plugs stay in
position without
putting unnecessary pressure on the sensitive ear canal. |
|
Q.
How long can I use
SilentEar plugs?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. SilentEar is a reusable ear
plug, designed to be worn over and over without breaking down or losing
its effectiveness at sound blocking. Since these ear plugs are
washable and made of soft but durable silicone rubber, with proper care,
SilentEar plugs can last for many months -- or even years. |
|
Q.
How do I take care
of my SilentEar ear plugs?
|| back to FAQ |
|
A. SilentEar earplugs are
simple to maintain. To keep waxy buildup from collecting on your
SilentEar ear plugs, simply wash them in ordinary soap and warm water
after each use, dry them thoroughly and return them to their sturdy
carry case. SilentEar earplugs will not be damaged by frequent
washing, nor will their effectiveness be decreased. Be safe and never
put anything that might be contaminated into your ear canals. |
