Ohropax Classic Earplugs - 6 Pairs

Product Information

However, for everyday noise and annoyance reduction (the focus of this post), we are often dealing with frequencies lower than that. For comparison, I also tested the low frequency noise reduction of a pair of lighter earmuffs, the NRR-25 3M Peltor Optime 98. Earplugs should generally not be used for diving, as they impede the necessary pressure equalisation.

I noticed that they had not gone as deep or mounded as well as my Gel plugs, they were much less comfortable and were no better than my good foam plugs. Ohropax Soft Ear Plugs prove its worth day after day by meeting the tough demands of occupational health and safety with respect to high noise levels, but also provide its wearers with a luxurious oasis of calm in their private lives. Place the ball in your ear and flatten it by pressing gently in the direction of the ear canal entrance.

They expand gently in the auditory canal and take on their noise-protecting role comfortably and reliably. It is also a convenient aid for general relaxation and for use during meditation exercises, reading and any work that requires concentration, DIY activities and loud music. A downside is that it can be marginally more uncomfortable to wear them continuously than softer ear plugs. ON-EAR earplugs, which are positioned in front of the opening of the auditory canal and gently pressed in, or OHROPAX Mini Soft, which are also perfect for smaller auditory canals due to their reduced size, are both suitable in this case. In nightclubs, at parties, concerts, festivals and sporting events, the sound is often so loud that it poses a health hazard.

All looked good however I soon realised that each plug was far too big to wear comfortably so I split them in two. Stronger occlusion effect than with in-ear plugs: they seal at the ear entrance and trap body generated sounds in the canal, potentially amplifying them. And I wanted to investigate further (and quantify) how well these wax earplugs work against low frequency noise <125 Hz. For easy handling, the Ohropax wax earplugs are wrapped in cotton (the earplugs don't stick together and are well separated in the box).Because the product's sound insulation curve remains relatively linear throughout the entire frequency range, the sound sensations remain nearly unchanged, which is especially beneficial when it comes to musical enjoyment. Instead, you remove the cotton wrapping, roll them into a ball, and then flatten this ball over your ear canal entrance.
