Notice how the ear has a natural ‘boost’ from 1500-4000 Hz. This is where the magic is. We want to preserve this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eb5f6c95516b266be6c7f1/1626395897312-O99K9029PW4FHTNW5LJU/foam+plug.png The Nitty Gritty - Standard Yellow Foam Earplug This is my ear’s frequency response to the pink noise when using a standard foam earplug (green line). Notice how uneven the attenuation. This is why music sounds terrible when you use foam earplugs. Additionally, notice that at 125-750 Hz there is hardly any attenuation at all. This due to leakage from the foam plug not fitting my ear properly. The result is my ear is protected (for the most part) but the fidelity of the sound is completely distorted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eb5f6c95516b266be6c7f1/1633654494294-YOX2XUV2773Q8A7OAS3I/Screen+Shot+2021-10-07+at+5.44.07+PM.png The Nitty Gritty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eb5f6c95516b266be6c7f1/1633654788340-23L562AT7C91GK1PO408/Screen+Shot+2021-10-07+at+5.59.34+PM.png The Nitty Gritty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eb5f6c95516b266be6c7f1/1626395508683-S8OM5SWQ1S3XU4PQ5NGE/15dB+filter.png The Nitty Gritty - Custom Plugs by Maura This is my ear’s frequency response to the pink noise when using one of my custom earplugs ( 16dB Attenuation Filter). Notice how the green line replicates the purple. My ear’s natural resonance is preserved throughout the entire frequency range. The only difference is that the volume is lower. The result is that my ear is protected and the fidelity of the sound is preserved. This is how you enjoy music safely. https://www.plugsbymaura.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://www.plugsbymaura.com/why-custom-earplugs daily 0.75 2021-07-23 https://www.plugsbymaura.com/noiseinduced-hearing-loss daily 0.75 2021-07-23 https://www.plugsbymaura.com/waiver daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://www.plugsbymaura.com/colors-and-glitter-and-swirls-oh-my daily 0.75 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eb5f6c95516b266be6c7f1/e77b56a3-7ef5-4693-88de-94323c876480/Screenshot+2023-03-07+at+1.04.07+AM.png Colors and glitter and swirls, oh my! - Make it stand out Medical grade silicone earplugs.
