The PACS 16 Earplugs are a class apart in the generic fit earplug market, offering a blend of comfort, discretion, and natural sound quality. These earplugs are designed for individuals frequently exposed to environments with amplified music or loud noise, such as musicians, concert-goers, DJs, audio engineers, and individuals working in noisy industrial environments. The earplugs are discreet, with a flush fitting filter that allows the plug to sit comfortably in the ear without protruding. They offer an average of 16dB protection, making them suitable for use in loud environments like amplified music concerts. The PACS 16 earplugs tackle the occlusion effect innovatively, ensuring the earplug sits deep enough in the ear canal to extend past the cartilage, and the filters are vented to allow sound to pass in both directions. They are designed to withstand moisture and wax build-up, with a hard outer shell shielding the fabric filter membrane from external moisture.

Unparalleled Comfort and Discretion: PACS 16 Earplugs

The PACS 16 earplugs are a class apart, offering a blend of comfort, discretion, and natural sound quality that is unmatched in the generic fit earplug market. These earplugs allow you to hear clearly, converse easily, and protect your hearing without compromising on your auditory experience.

A Design that Prioritizes Discretion

One of the stand-out features of the PACS 16 is its discreet design. These universal-fit plugs are among the most unobtrusive options available, thanks to a flush fitting filter that allows the plug to sit comfortably in the ear without protruding. This makes them an ideal choice for situations where discretion is paramount, such as when wearing headgear.

For Whom Are The PACS 16 Earplugs Designed?

The PACS 16 earplugs are designed for individuals who frequently find themselves in environments with amplified music or loud noise. This includes musicians, concert-goers, DJs, audio engineers, and even individuals working in noisy industrial environments. They’re also an excellent choice for anyone seeking to protect their hearing without sacrificing the quality of sound they’re accustomed to. Their discreet design makes them ideal for situations where the wearer desires a low-profile look, such as under headwear or in professional settings.

When to Use These Earplugs?

The PACS 16 earplugs are suitable for use whenever you’re exposed to loud noises or amplified music. This could include live concerts, music festivals, nightclubs, or even loud workplaces. They’re also beneficial during other recreational activities that involve high noise levels, like sporting events.

Moreover, these earplugs can be used in daily life to protect your hearing from potentially damaging noise exposure. For instance, if you live in a noisy city or have a loud commute, the PACS 16 earplugs can help protect your hearing while allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings.

Remember, consistent exposure to loud noise can lead to long-term hearing damage. Therefore, it’s crucial to use these earplugs whenever you’re in an environment where the noise level is high.

Protection without Compromising on Experience

The PACS 16 earplugs offer an average of 16dB protection, making them suitable for use in loud environments like amplified music concerts. They protect your hearing from damaging noise exposure while ensuring you remain engaged in the performance. Unlike foam earplugs that can distort sound quality, the PACS 16 earplugs let you enjoy music at your preferred volume without sacrificing sound fidelity. Moreover, they maintain the ambient atmosphere, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings and communicate clearly with others.

Tackling the Challenge of Occlusion

Creating a natural-sounding earplug is a significant challenge, particularly when it comes to the user’s own voice. When the ear canal is blocked, one’s voice can sound unusually loud or “boomy” inside the head, a phenomenon known as occlusion. This is caused by sound travelling to your ear canal through the cartilage at the side of your head, which usually escapes through the open ear canal. When the canal is blocked, this sound cannot escape, leading to the occlusion effect.

The PACS 16 earplugs tackle this issue innovatively. By ensuring the earplug sits deep enough in the ear canal to extend past the cartilage, much of the occlusion effect can be eliminated. Furthermore, the PACS 16 filters are vented to allow sound to pass in both directions, meaning any remaining sound can escape directly through the filter. This results in one of the most natural sounding earplugs on the market.

Resilience to Moisture and Wax Build-Up

The PACS 16 earplugs are designed to withstand moisture and wax build-up. Their hard outer shell shields the fabric filter membrane from external moisture, ensuring your earplugs continue to perform even in adverse conditions. Additionally, the filters and plugs can be cleaned, extending their lifespan and ensuring they continue to perform for years.

A Cost-Effective Solution for Hearing Protection

In conclusion, the PACS 16 earplugs offer a cost-effective solution for hearing protection across a variety of environments. They deliver one of the most natural sounding experiences available in an earplug, ensuring you can protect your hearing without sacrificing your auditory experience.

    I have hyperacusis, so these are great for a noisy bar or restaurant when you want to take the edge off but still want to be able to carry on a conversation – I always have a pair with me. More than one of my ‘normal hearing’ friends has bought a pair for themselves! Filters are nice and secure, but pop out easily so you can clean the plugs.

    I love these earplugs! Amazing value for the price. They’re also really easy to clean. I take them out every time i’m going to a music event and they have improved my experience hugely. I’ve noticed that they take out a lot of the crowd noise without affecting my experience of the sound. They’re also super compact and discrete when wearing.

    I use these earplugs now for years when playing with concert bands and rock bands and when going to gigs or about any noisy place that asks for ear protection. They are brilliant as they don’t filter out too much and they are comfortable, and now the new model with the nifty Aluminium container means, that I won’t forget them as easy…
    Will buy them again…

    Great for taking the edge off loud environments, I use them when the noise gets overwhelming at e.g. supermarket, anywhere with loud music, even useful for emptying the dishwasher (the banging of plates etc is very irritating otherwise). Would recommend for sound sensitivity
