Etymotic Research ETY-Plugs High Fidelity Earplugs - Frost Tip, Standard Fit

Product Information

They reduce most noise to safe levels while preserving the clarity of speech and the richness of music. The flat response of the ER20’s still allows natural environmental sounds through therefore making them ideal for someone who suffers from tinnitus.

The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Since hearing loss is cumulative over a lifetime, I am happy to prevent hearing loss with the use of these earplugs in both sizes!

They reduce sound levels evenly (using a tuned resonator and acoustic resistor) to preserve the balance. Having the identical response through 4 kHz, with an improved high-frequency clarity above 4 kHz, without compromising protection. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz. The ER20 uses a tuned resonator in a patented damping network which delivers reduced sound levels without muffling – music and voices remain clear.

Only very rarely is the environment loud enough for me to wear them but people are talking quietly enough that I can't hear them well.
