Hearing protection solutions of Alpine
- Yellow plugs
The well-known ‘yellow plugs’ isolate your ear completely. Like this you’ll hear less wind noise, but unfortunately you’ll also hear less of your motor and of the traffic that surrounds you. Also most people think the yellow plugs are not comfortable to wear, they don’t fit well and they loosen. Do they fit well, then the advice is: use new ones on a regularly basis, because they are developed for use only once!
- Otoplastic: the customized hearing protector
An otoplastic is a tailor-made hearing protector. It consists of two components: an earpiece and a filter system. From the print of your ear an optimum fit earpiece is developed in the laboratory. The special wind noise filters are inserted in the earpieces, so that your motor and the traffic that surrounds you keep perfectly audible. Your hearing is not isolated. You can choose between hard or soft otoplastics. The especially by Alpine developed soft material is in many things better than hard material: for instance it’s more comfortable to wear, has a longer lifetime (min. 5 years!) and has a better attenuation. Be aware of this while purchasing them, because hard otoplastics can’t be worn under a helmet!
- MotoSafe® hearing protectors
The Alpine MotoSafe is also called the ‘universal otoplastic’. MotoSafe consists of two universal hearing protectors and two different interchangeable filter sets. These special wind noise filters guarantee optimum protection whilst you can still hear ambient noises and can communicate clearly. Also you can still hear your motor. The open canals of the filters ensure that no differences of pressure arise, so that while wearing MotoSafe protectors one has no sense of isolation.
The protectors are produced in a durable, flexible thermoplastic polymer. Due to the heat of the ear, the protector adapts to the shape of the auditory duct within just a few minutes, making them very comfortable in the ear even for prolonged periods of use. If needed the user can adjust the lamella to the shape of his or her auditory duct.
MotoSafe is supplied in two interchangeable attenuation filter sets, one for average use and one for greater attenuation.
Alpine MotoSafe is already used with pleasure by many motor cyclists in many countries. Please ask your dealer for Alpine MotoSafe.
