From the manufacturer


Etymotic Research, Inc. is an engineering-driven research, development and manufacturing company. The name 'Etymotic' (pronounced 'et-im-oh-tik.') means 'true to the ear.' Innovation, education and hearing conservation are central to Etymotic's mission.

ETY-Plugs High Fidelity Earplugs

ETY-Plugs are the world's highest fidelity non-custom earplugs. They reduce most noise to safe levels while preserving the clarity of speech and the richness of music.

  • Standard size fits most ear canals
  • ETY-Plugs are reusable. With heavy use the eartips can weaken and could break. Replace every 3-6 months
  • Includes neck cord and carrying case
  • Not recommended for gunfire, sleeping or swimming

Where to use hearing protection?

  • Concerts, Performances & Clubs
  • Outdoor Music Festivals
  • Airshows & Parades
  • Motorsports & Athletic Events
  • Industrial Work, Machinery & Construction
  • Yard work, Power Tools & Home Improvement
  • Travel, Commuting & Studying
  • Noise Sensitivity, Sensory Issues & Auditory Processing Issues

Why Hearing Protection?

Noise-induced hearing loss is cumulative and irreversible. It is also completely preventable.

We are constantly bombarded by unsafe noise levels in our daily lives. A recent study by the World Health Organization found over a billion young people are at risk of noise-induced hearing damage.

Regular use of ETY-Plugs helps protect you from the lifelong effects of over exposure to loud sounds.

Why ER20 ETY-Plugs?

ETY-Plugs use a proprietary tuned resonator and acoustic resistor to replicate the natural response of the ear canal. Sound is reproduced unchanged, as the ear would hear it, only quieter.

Standard foam earplugs reduce mid-range and high frequencies resulting in muffled speech and music. ETY-Plugs reduce sound levels evenly, preserving clarity of speech and communication, and richness of music.

ETY-Plugs are available in 2 sizes, standard and large. Each yield approximately 20dB sound reduction when worn properly.

Standard fits the majority of users.

Product Description

Hearing loss from exposure to loud sound affects millions of people. Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable. And it's easy to prevent. ETY-Plugs were developed to provide low cost, one-size-fits-most high fidelity earplugs that can be used in a variety of noisy environments. The goal of the ETY-Plugs design was the same as Etymotic's famous Musicians Earplugs: to reduce noise but preserve sound quality; in effect, to turn down the noise but not muffle voices, environmental sounds, or music. These high-fidelity earplugs are effective or anyone who needs to hear accurately in noise: attendees at concerts, clubs, other loud performance venues; aircraft personnel; construction workers; industrial workers; medical/dental workers; workers in environments with loud music such as concert halls, nightclubs or bars; emergency vehicle personnel; athletes; participants in motor sports; truck drivers. Each purchase includes high fidelity earplugs, black cord, carrying case, and instructions. Easy to carry in your purse, backpack or pocket. Available in standard size for smaller ear canals or large size for larger ear canals.

These may be knock offs but OK ones at that

These may be knock offs but OK ones at that
I bought two of these as I find them effective but when I loose them I don’t loose $150 in custom plugs.This order was suspicious in that one case split at the seam once I opened it and also one plug was not fully assembled. I returned one set and kept the second set in order to compare with plugs I bought directly from the company at not much more than the Amazon price I may add.The picture is of the plugs I received from the company. The case is sturdier and very different than what I received from Amazon the lanyard has a different texture and the plugs seem a bit different as well. Go directly to the company is my best advice.
