QuietEar Ear Plugs from HearTech offer variable noise reduction (VNR) technology, letting you hear what you need to hear (voices and other sounds in the voice frequency range) while protecting you from dangerous higher frequencies, and providing increased attenuation as the noise volume at the ear increases.
QuietEar earplugs have a built-in acoustic filter in the form of a precisely designed vent. As the volume of noise increases at the ear, QuietEar automatically provides increased attenuation, resulting in higher noise protection at higher noise levels. This means at lower noise levels, you can easily hear voices without having to remove your earplugs. In addition, QuietEar offers differential noise attenuation at high and low frequencies, which means sounds in the range of the human voice are always attenuated less than the higher, more dangerous, frequencies. The vent also means QuietEar is more comfortable for extended wear, allowing your ears to breathe and reducing the "plugged-up" feeling common with many solid earplugs.
Made of durable and washable pre-molded silicone, QuietEar plugs last for months or even years as long as they are cleaned with mild soap and water after each use.
QuietEar Reusable Variable Noise Reduction Ear Plugs are the perfect ear plug for all the following applications:
Motorcycling
Industrial work areas where you need to have protection but still need to hear voices
Shooting and hunting
Military and police tactical applications
Loud concerts
Music performances in church
(see attenuation chart below)
QuietEar comes in three sizes to ensure a great fit for nearly everyone. We offer a discount on our three pair trial pack, which contains one pair each of the small,
average, and large size plugs so that you, your family, friends, and employees can try all three to find out which fits best. If you have not yet tried a QuietEar plug,
we strongly recommend the trial pack, because a good fit is critical to get the rated performance, and we cannot predict which size will fit you based on body stature.

QuietEar Trial Pack (3 pairs: 1 small, 1 average, & 1 large.) This pack has three pairs (one pair each of all three sizes) at a discounted price so you can try all three sizes. We cannot predict the correct size based on body stature, and some people find they even need a different size in each ear, so if you have never tried QuietEar, this trial pack is highly recommended.
