How to use video

Usage

Yes, the earplugs can be re-used until they lose their stickiness or they are no longer hygienic to use. It’s recommended to clean your hands and ears before usage. This should make it possible to use the earplugs for at least 5 days. The longer the earplugs remain clean, the longer they can be used.

Use your fingers to remove the earplugs. Apply light pressure on the outer ear from behind to loosen the earplug and slowly take it out. Please do not use any sharp objects to remove it.

Application

Conversing can be a bit difficult since the SoftSilicone attenuates sound up to 28 decibels. Most swimmers can still hear well enough to communicate. 

The SoftSilicone earplugs are suitable for side sleeping thanks to the way it blocks sound. When properly applied, the earplugs should only cover the outside of the ear and don’t enter the ear canal. This way, it’s unlikely that you will experience irritation while laying on your side.

Fit & Comfort

Make sure you knead the earplugs properly to warm them up. When the material is warm, they become easier to form towards the shape of your ears.

We put a lot of effort in finding the optimal balance between stickiness and mouldability of the SoftSilicone earplugs. This means they are easy to mold towards the shape of the ear and stick well to the skin.

Yes. The SoftSilicone earplugs are developed to fit all ear sizes, including those of children.

It highly recommended to use the entire earplug to make sure it will cover your ears and prevent it from going into your ear canal too deep.

Product & Material

Yes. The storage box is made from PP material, which is 100% recyclable, You can simply dispose it with your plastic waste to recycle it.

If stored in a closed box at a temperature below 30° C, the SoftSilicone earplugs remain functional up to 5 years.

No, the Softsilicone earplugs consist of 98,7% Silicone, 0,3% Aloe-vera and 1% Anti-bacterial Silver.

The NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) value is a United States standard that allows you to compare the degree of noise reduction of different hearing protectors. Independent laboratories test earplugs and earmuffs to determine their rating. In Europe, the SNR (Single Number Rating) is used instead of the NRR. This rating is slightly less strict than the US standard. The higher these ratings are, the more the hearing protection attenuates.
Often times, both NRR and SNR ratings are communicated on Alpine product packages.
