New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 2015 was the year the World Health Organization announced that 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of hearing loss due to the unsafe use of personal audio devices including smartphones, and exposure to damaging levels of sound at noisy entertainment venues such as nightclubs, bars and sporting events. The WHO's February 2015 report said, "Hearing loss has potentially devastating consequences for physical and mental health, education and employment." Etymotic, a worldwide leader in hearing loss prevention for over 30 years, seeks to change that.
Etymotic Research, makers of the ER•4® - the world's most accurate high-fidelity earphones, and a line of affordable earphones that deliver extraordinary sound - will also bring their world-class passive and active earplugs, and growing line of hearing health products for workers in need of safe listening to this January's CES.
Included in this year's booth display will be Etymotic's ER•20®XS High Fidelity Earplugs. The new ER•20XS is a version of Etymotic's industry leading ETY•Plug® High Fidelity Earplugs. Both reduce sound levels while preserving sound quality, but the new ER•20XS has a smaller, stem-less design and a profile that conforms to the plane of outer ear. This makes it particularly comfortable to wear under hats, helmets, and even while sleeping. A small, flexible pull-tab allows for easy removal.
2016 will see a number of new hearing protection and high-fidelity products from Etymotic, the undisputed leader worldwide in high-fidelity hearing health solutions.
