3 Many things in modern life have become pretty loud: concerts, living in cities, travelling on planes and so on. Regular earplugs block sound but also muffle it heavily. These specially designed tech earplugs target only the higher frequencies (the most damaging) and so allow you to hear relatively clearly but still protect your hearing from the loudest sounds.
