Description

EARasers Hi-Fi Dentist and Hygienist Ear Plugs are the first hearing protection solution to really address the unique hearing protection needs of dentists and dental hygienists. For a long time now, NIOSH (the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) has recognized noise-induced hearing loss as the most common occupational injury, and yet very few good solutions have been found to protect dental professionals. Enter EARasers Hi-Fi Dentist and Hygienist Ear Plugs.

Clear, Natural Hearing

With NRR 5 sound blocking, EARasers provide just enough protection from noise to take the edge off, while still allowing you to hear voices clearly -- without that "muffled" feeling you can get from traditional foam ear plugs (which provide much more sound blocking). Wearing EARasers, you can hold conversations with patients without ever needing to remove your hearing protection. Too, EARasers are designed with dental equipment in mind: these plugs specifically reduce up to 19dB of hazardous high-frequency sounds such as drill noise. Not only can EARasers help you protect your hearing from noise-induced damage, but they can also help reduce noise fatigue, as well as helping you avoid the high-pitched ringing that can follow you home after a long day at the office. EARasers let you hear clearly, without distortion, while providing enough protection to take the edge off all that workplace noise.

Discreet Protection
Perhaps the best feature of the EARaser for Dentists is that these ear plugs practically disappear into your ears. These really are virtually invisible. The plugs themselves are made of soft, transparent, medical grade silicone, and unlike most other ear plugs, they have no central stem that sticks out of your ear canals once the ear plugs are inserted. That means you can get the hearing protection you need and deserve -- discreetly. And the soft silicone material and SmartSeal™ near-custom fit ensure your EARasers will stay in and stay comfortable all day long.

Quick & Easy Insertion: No Hassle, Near-Custom Fit
Inserting EARasers ear plugs is fast and simple. Each pair of plugs is color-coded red/blue for right/left, so you can always be sure you're wearing the right plug in the right ear. (Unlike most off-the-shelf musician's ear plugs, EARasers strive to provide a near-custom fit with their trademarked SmartSeal™ design, so it matters which ear each plug goes into.) To insert EARasers, just pull back and up on the top of the ear, and then gently push the ear plug into your ear canal until your finger is flush with the ear canal opening and the fit feels secure. Opening and closing your mouth a few times during and after this process will help the soft silicone mold and adjust to better fit the inside of your ear. To remove, simply pull the "string" in the center of the ear plug.

To help you choose the right size, here is advice from Earasers:

  • 75% of full-grown men use Medium
  • 75% of women use Small
  • 75% of young adults use Small
  • 2% need Large

Key certifications:

NRR 13

An NRR of 13 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 13 decibels across various frequencies.

'NRR' in hearing protection stands for 'Noise Reduction Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the NRR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

NRR is primarily used as a rating system in North America, while Europe often uses 'SNR' (Single Number Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.

    Great for dental assisting

    I'm a dental assistant with sensitive hearing and ears and these help reduce strain significantly. They fit in snugly and reduce the ultrasonic and suction sounds very well while not removing your ability to hear spoken words - only muffling slightly. I personally get a bit sore from plugs in for 8+ hours, but these really are quite comfortable and only cause a small amount of overall discomfort compared to other non-specific plugs. Takes a little adjusting to them to make sure you're speaking at an audible volume, and your colleagues may need to adjust and speak a little louder also depending on how loud your clinic is. Definitely recommend!

    Comfortable, effective

    Comfortable to wear a full clinical day without removing, can still hear spoken word and radio in the surgery, cuts out the high pitch of the high speed which is a bit un nerving at first because i found myself doubting the air pressure/ speed but it was just that I couldn't hear the highest pitch.
