Auritech reminds riders of tinnitus risks from riding unprotected

Auritech Biker ear plugs cost £19.95 and can be purchased from leading motorcycle accessory retailers or online from www.auritech.co.uk

Wendy Faulkner, Director of Appia Healthcare, owner of the Auritech brand which specialises in producing filtered ear plugs designed specifically for motorcyclists: “Many motorcyclists are not aware of the dangers of riding without hearing protection while others may have tried wearing foam ear plugs but didn’t like them. These cheaper ear plugs do a good job of blocking out sound but can often place the rider in a ‘bubble’ and make them feel removed from the environment around. With Auritech we have developed a patented ceramic filter, which allows the ‘good’ noise to pass through while reducing harmful wind noise. This not only reduces the risk of damage to the wearer but should also enhance the riding experience and road safety by allowing them to hear the sounds around them, such as traffic noise, horns, police sirens and the revving of their engine.”
