Information
Yes, our headsets are full stereo. Try them on your portable or panel mounted stereo system. They sound is great. They use the same hearing aid-style speakers that professional stage musicians use for personal monitors. Those monitors cost hundreds of dollars alone. We give you this quality in addition to a flight-saavy amplifier and microphone system.
No, and they do not need to be either! Earplugs are as quiet as most ANR systems without the costly electronics or batteries.
Earplugs are more effective than earcups at blocking low and mid frequency noise. The earplug has less mass and surface area upon which noise can interact. Therefore, nothing has to be done with noise if it doesn't enter the ear canal in the first place!
Nothing. It is the "occlusion effect" and is the same phenomenon that occurs when you close your ear canals tightly with your fingers and talk aloud. Some of that sound energy produced by bone vibration within ithe skull is "trapped" in the ear canal and reflected back to your ear drum where it is heard as a loud, muffled sound. You will get used to it, and it probably won't be noticed in flight.
Not necesarily. Contrary to many experts' opinions, the earmold is NOT a perfect replica of the ear canal. An imperfect fit can cause miniature acoustic leaks; a pathway for the sound to enter the ear canal. The earmold is relatively solid as compared to the dynamic motion of the ear canal when chewing, or moving about. If there is one very small, razor-thin leak between the earmold and the ear canal, almost ALL low frequencies will enter the ear canal and will sound as loud as wearing no earplugs at all. Foam on the other hand continually accomodates the ear canal shape and therefore blocks sound from entering the canal. If you are luck enough to get a good sealing earplug, you will also have a pneumatic seal that blocks air pressure from equalizing between the ear drum and the surrounding air pressure creating some discomfort climbing or descending from altitudes. Finally, earmolds are sweaty and often produce "sore points" on about 30% of the users. Clearly, foam is the best choice.
Earplug replacements are available through our website store for about $0.75 each. If you ever lose track of us, you may get them from audiologists and hearing aid dispensers who have used the exact ear tips for more than 30 years for hearing testing. Not all audiologists use them, but all know where to get them for you.
