Dentists & Hygienists

Dental professionals are exposed to noise-producing equipment during their work, and there is evidence suggesting that this occupational exposure to noise places them at a higher risk of developing hearing loss (noise-induced hearing loss). A literature review identified 28 scientific publications that investigated noise-induced hearing loss among dental professionals.

In 23 studies, objective parameters for noise-induced hearing loss were used; 3 studies used subjective parameters, and 2 studies used both objective and subjective parameters. Of the 12 studies with objective measurements that also included a control group, 8 reported significantly greater hearing loss among dental professionals compared to the control groups.

Of the 13 studies with objective measurements but without a control group, 7 reported significant hearing loss among dental professionals. All 5 studies using subjective measurements reported significant hearing loss among dental professionals.

These results suggest that hearing loss appears to occur more frequently among dental professionals than in most control groups.

Veel beter en goedkoper dan alle op maat gemaakte oortjes van gevestigde merken die ik gehad heb!

Great earplugs

The earplugs are great, easy to use and easy to wear. I have a concussion and all the sounds are demped. I really suggest these earplugs

Good price for good earplugs

These earplugs are nice if you want something minimal in look and minimal in noise reduction. I found the foam earplugs to be really reductive and I like that these really just take the main edge off of the noise without seriously impacting the sound quality

Have to choose stronger filter

After using many different types and brands of earplugs I took a chance on these. These were the most expensive ones I've tried, but much less than going to audiologist for the custom fits. These do, as advertised, contain much more of the clarity of the music, soon you don't even notice you're wearing them. My only problem is they don't block enough. When playing bass in a rock band, I need to be able to hear the other instruments play. With most earplugs, ALL I can hear is the bass. With these, the music is quite clear considering, but only seems like it turns the volume down 1 or 2 notches. If they were about 2-3x stronger this would be 5 stars. My ears still ring at the end of the night, and only have a weak headache, not ringing for days. We play almost every weekend, mostly all bars and small clubs, not (what I'd consider) at huge volume. My peavey bass amp is 250 watt, and on 4 at our biggest rooms we never mic it. Looks like I do need to save my money for the custom fits at audiologist, but these will get me buy until then. They are comfortable, and small enough no one notices and they don't show up in pictures. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Absolutely worth the price

Previously I was using the Hearos high-fidelity ear plugs. They did very well, but I found that while playing with my band I was losing some of the frequencies and it caused some of the sounds to be lost in the mix. Plus, I had to take them out to talk to other band members between songs. It was just to the point that it was annoying. So I needed to try something new. These Earasers are perfect. They fit in very nicely (red=right, blue=left), are barely visible, and balance the sound perfectly. Exactly as the chart above shows, it has an even frequency response, but just enough so the sound does not damage your ears. Truth be told, at a certain volume these will become ineffective due to their low decibel protection. I play drums in a rock band and my most recent experience with these was with the (loud!) monitor at ear level about 2 feet from me. After our 14 songs my ears felt great. No ringing, no pressure on my ear drums; it felt like nothing happened. Which is why these are worth the extra money. I am recommending these to everyone I know who is in need of ear protection.
