Description

The EQ earplug consists of a membrane holder and a Sympatex® membrane. The membrane holder is made of hypoallergenic, hydrophobic medical silicone, resistant to chlorine, seawater and temperatures between -10°C and 60°C. Consisting of a fin and a cup, it is placed behind the first curvature of the ear canal to guarantee the waterproofness of the ear while preserving comfort and long-lasting support in the ear.

The Sympatex® waterproof and breathable membrane allows air to circulate between the eardrum and the plug, which has the benefit of preserving hearing and balance, while reducing the risk of infection.

The EQ earplugs are supplied with an ergonomic applicator to facilitate insertion of the plug into the ear and is delivered in a carrying tube that can be attached to a key ring.

Pas facile de savoir si on les a bien mis. On ne sait jamais vraiment si on va les perdre ou pas.

Unfortunately the earplugs are uncomfortable to wear, they get washed out (secured them with a thread) and I can't hear more of my surroundings than with regular, cheap noise protection earplugs which also keep the water out reliably.

I lost one of the ear plugs in the first usage... I have followed the instructions to insert the plug deep in the ear and still lost it during the activity

Très bien, juste testés aujourd'hui sur une belle session de piscine. Il faut juste prendre le coup de main pour les placer, mais ensuite, ça roule. Agréable à porter, ils sont discret et ne gêne pas pendant l'effort.

Son los mejores tapones para surf. Todos los demás terminan dando alergias en los oídos.Nunca se salen y dejan oír mejor que otros. Al principio cuesta ponerles hasta que te acostumbras. Sin duda los mejores.

A revolution in performing protective Ear plugs

Why do we need to wear EARPLUGS

The growing number of outdoor sports participants (surf, ski, bike, swimming, running) in challenging conditions has resulted in an increase of ears’ pathologies in numerous regions of the world.

Why do we need to wear EARPLUGS

A growing number of EXOSTOSIS PATHOLOGIES

Exostosis is one of the main pathology. Exostosis generates an excessive growth of the bone in the auditory canal, resulting in the loss of hearing and can lead to deafness in the worst cases. In addition, the bone growth allows waste and bacteria to sit in the canal, which in turn increases the case of ear infections.

A growing number of EXOSTOSIS PATHOLOGIES

A study conducted BY SURGEONS

A study conducted by surgeons in the South West of France in 2010 concluded that there was no protective equipment that addressed the specific needs of water sports participants wishing to prevent it, in particular in terms of hearing, balance and fit. Surgery is the only solution to address exostosis once it is installed. There are also evident risks of bone re- growth when no protection is worn afterwards.
