She said: “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.”
Auritech’s dedicated Biker earplugs feature a tri-section cone design to ensure a snug fit for a wide range of wearers. The plugs have been designed to fit most people (with ear canals from between 6mm and 12mm) and are constructed from a silicone-free thermoplastic that is both long lasting and comfortable. The patented venturi-shaped ceramic filter is specifically formed for the relevant attenuation value, meaning that unpleasant and damaging wind noise is filtered out, while allowing wearers to clearly hear regular conversation either face to face or through an intercom.
Auritech Biker ear plugs cost £19.95 and can be purchased from leading motorcycle accessory retailers or online from www.auritech.co.uk
