Description

Hearing loss from loud sound affects millions of people, but noise-induced hearing loss is preventable! ER20XS high-fidelity earplugs reduce sound levels while preserving sound quality and clarity. ER20XS earplugs are configured to replicate the natural response of the ear, so sound quality is the same as the original, only quieter. Music, voices and other sounds are clear--not muffled --making ER20XS ideal for concerts, clubs, festivals, raves, theaters, aircraft, construction, yard work, airshows, parades, and athletic or motorsports events. The new low-profile, stem-less design fits snugly in the outer ear without protruding, making ER20XS comfortable to wear under hats, helmets, and other headgear. The standard-size eartips fit the majority of ears. ER20XS earplugs are reusable, but with repeated use, the eartips may lose elasticity. For best performance and retention, if you use your ER20XS earplugs frequently, replace the eartips every 3-6 months. ER20XS are not recommended for use with impulse noises such as gunfire, or for sleeping. Not intended for shooting.

    • Excellent for musician tinnitus
Style: Standard Fit
I am a professional violinist. I began having tinnitus many years ago: hearing the TV static “sound of silence,” plus occasional 10-second bouts of extreme ringing typically in the left ear. I put one of these earplugs in my left ear, which is just above the instrument as I hold it under my jaw. Hearing damage/loss in the left ear is a universal symptom of long-term violin playing, and additionally, the loud direct sound from being close to the instrument sometimes causes students (me many years ago) to limit themselves and avoid drawing the most sound from the instrument. This earplug solves both those issues: I still hear clearly at all volumes but am not overwhelmed when I play out, and my bouts of ringing have disappeared, and only come back when I forget to put the earplug in. I use this earplug whenever I play, indoors, outdoors, practicing or performing. I could go on about how useful this has been for me. After a couple minutes of being worn it fills the ear extremely comfortably, and I often (at least twice a week) forget to take it out after practicing, because I simply don’t realize it was in until someone notices the thing in my ear. This size is perfect for my ear, snug but not tight. I personally don’t use the case, I just slip it under the strap for my violin in its case. I believe these can last indefinitely until lost, which is a fine value for $10 each when I only use one at a time. I would recommend this to anyone who needs slight sound reduction of upper levels. ... show more

    • Musician approved!
Style: Universal Fit + Case
Great sound reduction and fidelity! As a musician I need to protect my hearing and must be able to hear what I’m doing complete detail. These attenuators work very well considering the low price point. They’re not quite all-day comfortable, but otherwise I couldn’t be happier!

    • Excellent hearing protection while still hearing sound you want
Style: Standard Fit
I use these for concerts and put them in before it starts, and leave them in until it’s over and these are great. They prevent tinnitus or any kind of hearing issue after the concert is over, you were fully protected. You can still hear the concert perfectly and even better they drown out your concert neighbor’s screams and singing. When the people around you talk during the show it’s hard to hear them but you can make out what they say if you want to. And the concert has quite good sound. I wore them to a rock concert that was shaking the brick building and sidewalk outside during sound check and after the concert was over my ears were perfect. I enjoyed the show with no discomfort and happy with the sound and even talked to the band during (and heard their reply to me, the guitarist came out into the crowd). Very nice! Only thing is, they do hurt while they are in. It goes away as soon as you take them out, I am playing with adjusting them better but I think it’s just the design and hardness of the base plastic. It’s not a huge deal, they do feel like they go in kind of deep. I will always keep these on hand for concerts and replace them often. Love them. Absolutely better than foam ones for concerts but my daughter finds them uncomfortable enough that she prefers foam, she has had a ruptured ear drum and is always sensitive about her ears. She claims her cheap foam ones give the same result for her, but I use both and think these are way better if you can tolerate the feel of them. I personally love these. ... show more

    • Not so safe if they don't fit right
Style: Standard Fit
I kept trying to use these but without the stems (which are on the ER20) I couldn't get them positioned correctly in my ears. I was in a drumming workshop this weekend and still hearing too much noise. I swapped them out for my older ER20 style earplugs and the sound dampening was much better. So I will just buy the other style from now on. Be careful if you can still hear painful sounds while wearing these. ... show more

    • Surprise... these Etymotic Research ER20XS High-Fidelity Earplugs actually work!
Style: Standard Fit
BLUF: I'm both surprised and delighted with my new Etymotic Research ER20XS earplugs. In my 20's I had multiple surgeries to remove a tumor and repair resulting damage in my middle ear. Tinnitus has always been a problem since and is greatly aggravated by loud and piercing sound. And since I write/perform music and ride motorcycles, it's something I battle with constantly. In the past I tried other "affordable" products that claimed to reduce decibels that cause fatigue and hearing loss without affecting the quality of sound; but I was always disappointed. I gave up and just relied on standard foam and/or silicon earplugs instead. After recently misplacing my favorite pair of silicon earplugs I started shopping for replacements and stumbled across these here. After reading reviews, I decided to give them a shot. I figured, worst case, I'd be out a $14 bucks. Well, surprise, surprise, they actually work! They fit my ears perfectly, are extremely comfortable, and reduce the intensity just enough to prevent serious hearing damage while maintaining surprisingly good sound quality. I'm not suggesting they are a perfect solution, but when I listen to loud music while wearing these (especially when riding my Harley Street Glide) the music is clear and unmuffled compared to standard earplugs. And I don't get that tunnel sound I've experienced with other similar decibel reducing earplugs I tried. That said, they don't reduce damaging decibels as well as typical foam or silicon plugs, but they do work as advertised and you get to actually HEAR your music while your it's pumping, either in the studio or on your bike! I can actually say I'd wholeheartedly recommend these to others looking for an affordable solution to protect their hearing while living life! ... show more
