Etymotic Research, an innovator in hearing wellness solutions, now sells its Universal Fit ER-20XS high-definition earplugs. Ideal for motorsports and track racing enthusiasts, ER-20XS earplugs are an alternative to generic foam earplugs that muffle sound. ER-20XS earplugs come with three interchangeable pairs of eartips for more fitting options. Foam eartips on ER-20XS Motorsports earplugs work in conjunction with the advanced technology in the earplug itself, offering hearing protection and clear communication. ER•20XS Motorsports Earplugs feature a stem-less design, with a low profile that conforms to the plane of the outer ear. This makes them particularly comfortable to wear under hats and helmets. A small, flexible pull tab allows for easy removal.

The ER-20XS uses a tuned resonator and acoustic resistor to replicate the natural response of the ear canal. Etymotic claims that this unique construction and their proprietary sound path, reduces sound levels evenly across the frequency range without changing the sound quality.©Motorcyclist

Racing fans have long been users of relatively expensive over-the-ear hearing protection as well as inexpensive foam earplugs. Making Etymotic’s reusable, high-definition hearing protection available gives fans the opportunity to hear all of the action clearly while protecting their ears from excessive sound levels.   Etymotic’s entry into the motorsports world comes on the heels of its roll out to 35 U.S. amphitheaters and music festivals last summer, as well as the release of the World Health Organization’s report last year that over a billion young people are now at risk of suffering cumulative and irreversible noise-induced hearing loss over the course of their lifetimes.
