Etymotic ER Musicians Earplugs

ER-series ear plugs for High-Fidelity Hearing Protection

Etymotic ER Musicians Earplugs are custom high-fidelity earplugs developed by Etymotic over 25 years ago, following president Dr. Mead Killion’s participation in a noise study for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. ER ear plugs are high-fidelity earplugs. Musicians Earplugs are a custom product, made individually for each user.

Musicians practice and perform in a variety of different settings. They are exposed to high levels of sound, sometimes for long periods, and may require different amounts of protection depending on sound levels encountered during rehearsals and performance. Some musicians use one type of attenuator in one ear and one type in the other, depending on the source and location of the sound.
