# Sound-Preserving Earplugs Earos Accoustics' Earplugs Were Invented by a Club Owner By Joey Haar | Published 2017-01-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earos-accoustic References: [digitaltrends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/health-fitness/earos-acoustic-filtering-earplugs/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/312687655/earos-hearing-protection-thats-music-to-your-ears?token=87f4e58a) Earos Accoustics is a new sound technology company founded with one specific goal: to preserve both people's hearing and the fidelity of the sound around them. Earos Accoustics' principle products, the Earos [earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-x-coachella-experience-2-earplugs), assure just that through the use of impressive sound engineering and hardware. The Earos plugs are far more than a pair of foam or rubber blockers. Rather, each of the connected devices is embedded with [sound-filtering technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-switch-2). The exposed side of the Earos plugs is called the Soundbore -- it blocks out excessively loud sounds (like those at a club or concert.) However, it also registers the vibrations from these sounds, processes them, and plays them at a safe volume without losing any noise across the spectrum. The plugs also come with Earos Accoustics' app, which people can use to test whether the [ambient noise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearing-wearables) in any environment is loud enough to require extra protection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sound-preserving Technology:** Opportunities to develop sound-preserving technology solutions for various applications such as construction, transportation and manufacturing. - **Smart Earplugs:** Innovative ventures that are developing smart earplugs capable of filtering sounds and monitoring noise levels, opening new possibilities in healthcare, sports, music and education. - **Noise Management Apps:** Scope for developing advanced noise management and monitoring apps to enhance hearing protection, comfort and convenience across various settings such as aviation, military, healthcare and entertainment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Opportunities for music festivals, concert venues and movie theaters to invest in sound-preserving earplugs to provide a better listening experience for patrons and reduce hearing damage. - **Construction:** A potential market for sound-preserving technology with solutions such as smart helmets equipped with noise-cancelling headsets and earplugs, creating safer and more comfortable working environments. - **Healthcare:** Potential for development of smart earplugs and noise management apps to address hearing loss issues in healthcare professionals, patients and elderly populations who are at risk due to noise exposure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Noise-Reducing Silicone Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-dream.md) - [Crystal Earwear Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experience2.md) - [Portable Everyday Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-everyday-earplugs.md) - [Recycled Surfer Ear Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surfears-40.md) - [Mycelium-Based Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dfc001.md) - [Anxiety-Reducing Earplug Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earplug-design.md) - [Opulent Crystal-Covered Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-x-swarovski-experience-2-earplugs.md) - [Crystal-Embellished Earwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-loop.md) - [Customizable Earbud-Like Earplugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hear-hush-hoops.md)
