You haven’t yet found a comfortable earplug that you actually enjoy wearing? Well, now you have. Whether you need them for tuning out noise to concentrate while you study, or to block out your partner’s snoring as you try to sleep, or to calm a noisy environment out in public, the HEAR Hush Hoops are your answer. Experience comfort and effective noise reduction with a 17dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for restful sleep, peaceful travel, and protection from loud sounds.
The HEAR Hush Hoops were designed to answer your biggest pain points from existing earplugs. With a design that’s first of its kind, these earplugs have a flexible fit for maximum comfort. Where other products have a fully closed loop, the HEAR Hush Hoops have an open loop to allow the earplugs to form more snugly—and comfortably—in your ears. The open loop allows the earplugs to more easily conform to your ear than existing closed-loop options while the ergonomic horseshoe design ensures a secure, pressure-free fit for extended wear.
Comfort and fit are near the top of customers’ complaints with other earplugs. That’s why when creating these, we listened to our customers, who told us they wanted their earplugs to be comfortable. So that’s what we made. These are easy to insert and their unique design provides the comfort that you are seeking. So how do the HEAR Hush Hoops stack up against those pain points?
✖️ Most earplugs don’t fit right. Whether uncomfortable because they’re too big or too small, fit is important. Ones that are too small won’t effectively block out noise and they may even fall out. Ones that are too big may cause discomfort if they’re too tight.
✔️ HEAR Hush Hoops have four different earpiece sizes for you to choose the best fit for your ears. The various size tips accommodate a range of ear canal sizes and shapes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. A good fit means a tighter seal within the ear, which significantly improves noise reduction.
✖️ Don’t block out the right amount of noise. Whether for sleeping, creating a quiet environment to study or read, or using at a concert to give your ears a little bit of protection while still being able to hear music, other earplugs still let more noise through than you’d like.
✔️ Our earplugs have a slightly higher noise reduction rating (17 versus competitors’ 14). This means that they block out a bit more noise. But with the HEAR Hush Hoops you can also trade out tips to fit the specific occasion. It allows you to choose a tighter or looser fit depending on what you are using them for. Studying, working or reading? Choose a larger size for a tighter fit to tune out more noise. Going to a concert or sporting event? Opt for a smaller size that allows more sound to get through.
✖️ Eco-friendly. Foam earplugs are single-use and can feel like a waste to throw them away after wearing them just once.
✔️ Made from silicone, the HEAR Hush Hoops are reusable and washable. They offer a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable choice compared to disposable earplugs.
✖️ Difficult to insert. With foam earplugs, you need to squeeze, roll, and twist them to get them correctly in place. Even then, they don’t always sit right.
✔️ No need to squeeze and form these to the right shape to fit your ear. Ours are easy to insert and, again, have several tip sizes for you to choose from that will fit your ear canal just right.
✖️ Expensive. Single-use earplugs are a continual purchase because you throw them after one use and need to purchase more when you run out. After a while, the cost adds up.
✔️ Ours are cost-effective as they are reusable and washable. The cost savings will add up over time.
The more common locations you may find yourself wanting some protection from noise are at work, at a concert or sporting event, while traveling, or while sleeping. Any of these places are options where earplugs can give you a bit of relief from noise.
And they’re not just aggravating; loud noises can actually cause your ears damage. A single loud sound over 120 dB, like a gunshot or firecracker, can damage hearing with a single sound. But even prolonged exposure to sound at or above 85 dB, like from power tools or a motorcycle engine, can damage hearing over time.1
So if you ever attend concerts or sporting events; have a partner who snores; travel on airplanes; or working in a loud environment, there are several ways the HEAR Hush Hoops can become a necessary item you never keep far out of reach. They’re great for sleeping, helping with concentration while studying, working, or reading.
These earplugs help you block unwanted noise while maintaining awareness of your surroundings. The open-loop horseshoe shape was designed with comfort in mind to be an earplug you’ll actually want to wear. So go ahead, we invite you to choose a more comfortable way to turn down the noise.
