Auritech Intelligent Hearing Protection

BIKER Hearing Protectors tuned

to let you hear what you want.

There is a misconception amongst some riders that the engine noise is what does the most damage to hearing whilst riding. Regardless of how loud your pipes might be the wind noise has the potential to cause much more long-term damage to hearing and obviously that increase with speed. Wind noise on a motorcycle can reach 95dB (and 130dB for motorsports/ spectators) and with permanent hearing damage occurring from only 85dB that’s the main reason that we never rider without hearing protection.

We’ve tried various brands over the years from the simple foam ear plugs to the latest intelligent systems and it’s at this top-end of the scale that we find the Auritech Intelligent Hearing Protection.

We know some rider don’t wear are plugs because they feel they are uncomfortable. Traditional ear plugs can give you a feeling of being blocked up and if you’re not used to wearing them it can impair your sense of balance - not a great feeling to have on a bike. Because these Auritech BIKER Hearing

Protectors have the filter inside there’s no feeling of

ear block at all. The soft thermo-plastic body of the ear plug fits snugly into the ear with minimal effort, they’re silicon free, hypoallergenic and very comfortable to wear even on the longest of rides. The tri-section body also accommodates all ear sizes and ages with a size range from 6 - 13.5mm.
