	Earplug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An earplug is a protective device that is meant to be inserted in the ear canal to protect the wearer's hearing from loud noises or the intrusion of water, foreign bodies, dust or excessive wind.
		Earplugs are rated with "Noise Reduction Ratings" or NRRs (Sound Reduction Ratings, or SNR, in the European Union), which provide a guide to the noise protection, in decibels, afforded by the device.
		Most earplugs are made of memory foam that is typically rolled into a tightly compressed cylinder (without creases) by the wearer's fingers and then inserted in the earcanal.

		I too have chronic tinnitus or "ringing" in the ears from very much the same origins(!) as you, plus I have been a paramedic for over 20 years and in my early career was exposed to unprotected siren noise in excess of 110 decibels for extended periods of time...
		This was very comfortable, but with the earplugs in place the CD player could not produce enough volume to overcome the attenuation of the ear plugs to be heard over the still present (but reduced) road noise.
		P.S. I have learned over the years it is possible to reuse disposable earplugs many times simply by washing them in the washing machine and throwing them in the drier, or using a little warm water and hand soap, followed by thorough rinsing and air drying...

	Earplugs From Lucy Dell - webBikeWorld
		Earplugs are available in a corresponding variety of all sorts of different shapes and sizes, and they are manufactured using various types of materials to control noise, including down, plastic, rubber and silicone.
		Lucy Dell Earplugs suggests that an earplug with a high noise reduction rating (NRR) can be worse than an earplug that fits correctly but has a lower NRR, so this is a good reason to purchase a Testpack and sample them all.
		Earplugs can either be too big or too small, so it's a good idea to make sure the earplug is big enough so that it doesn't disappear into your ear canal.

	Lucy Dell's Earplug Guide
		Earplugs for use in noisy areas should be CE marked, having been tested to EN352-2.
		Earplugs will not stop you hearing your engine (or the traffic around you) unless your hearing is already so bad you should urgently seek advice from a suitable medical professional.
		Earplugs are not toys and should generally be kept away from children because if they are swallowed they might lodge in the windpipe, possibly causing death.

	An earplug passes the word
		If the players had been wearing a new type of earplug, they would have heard their coach giving very specific directions and - who knows - perhaps the outcome would have been different.
		The earplugs act as a speaker for the caller and a microphone for the phone user.
		The vibrations from the voice of the user are transmitted to the inner microphone in the earplugs through the tissues of the head.

		The visibility of the light-colored, non-linear end of the earplug is not an issue in steady-state environments.

		Most of the foam body of the earplug should be within the ear canal.
		If sounds are much more muffled with your hands in place, the earplug may not be sealing properly.

		The simplest speaker to use in a crystal receiver is the crystal earplug.
		Parallel to the crystal earplug we must connect a resistor, this resistor provides a return path to ground for the current rectified by the diode.
		When we don't use the resistor, the capacitance of the earplug will be charged, and once it is fully charged the earplug wont't give sound until it is discharged.

		The new earplug will retain the MAX name, but with a modified design and new, softer material formulation, MAX will be easier to insert and more comfortable to wear.

		Its NRR of 33 dB was (and is) the highest attenuation any earplug had achieved to date, and its soft, contoured shape offered distinct advantages over the traditional, barrel-shaped PVC earplugs of the day.

	Communication Earplug Approved for Naval Aviator Use (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Unfortunately, the addition of earplugs under helmet earcups decreases the ability to communicate since the earplugs attenuate speech signals from the earcup earphones at the same time as they attenuate undesirable noises coming in from outside the earcups.
		These devices provide the hearing protection of an expanding foam earplug while passing the clearest speech signal attainable in to the ear canal.
		The Mini-CEP consists of a miniature receiver encapsulated in a plastic housing that screws in to a semi-rigid threaded hollow core that's glued inside a replaceable earplug.

		The communications earplug, which consists of a high-quality earphone coupled with an earplug protector, provides the needed extra protection.
		Inserts or earplugs are inserted directly into the ear canal, creating a barrier between the user's internal ear and the outside ambient noise environment.
		The efficiency of the barrier depends on the interface of the earplug to the ear canal, or the cushion to the head, as well as the attenuation characteristic of the earplug, canal cap, or earcup.

	The Communications Earplug (CEP)—Update 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Communications Earplug (CEP) was developed in response to poor communications in Army aviators using double hearing protection strategies in the high-noise environment of U.S. Army rotary-wing aircraft.
		The earplug tip has an internally threaded insert channel that extends through the center from the base to tip, and mates with the threaded adapter on the transducer housing.
		Thus, instead of being driven through a sound-attenuating earplug, the speech signal is delivered from the receiver directly into the ear canal, proximal to the earplug.

	Sarah Wallin » Blog Archive » The Miracle Earplug
		I confess I was initially skeptical, because I knew that using a practice mute similarly cuts out the resonating harmonics (and a few decibels) of a bowed string, in effect dulling the sound.
		I now use my earplug in the left ear whenever I practice alone, and I find that the subtleties of my tone and intonation are much more easily navigated when I then perform or rehearse in a group without the plug.
		I have found, in contrast, that the disadvantage of the practice mute is the fact that it is dampening the instrument itself, somewhat changing the feel of it and encouraging misconceptions in terms of accuracy.

	A Proposed Programming Language for Working with Rhythm
		Since EARPLUG is meant to run on a wide variety of platforms I would prefer to allow a wide variety of latencies and build into the system a mechanism for working with whatever time quantization the hardware is able to provide.
		This simply means that the operating system should ensure that (a) all processing is completed (all threads are waiting) before advancing an input or output stream and that (b) the computation is known to be off-line so that no attempt is made by the threads to gauge world time.
		In EARPLUG this would allow a programmer to take, for example, RealAudio from the Internet as a stream, filter it appropriately using the DSP toolkit, and then cast it into a stream that can be used by EARPLUG.

	Getting the best out of Earplug type 'phones - iPod Forums at iLounge \| The World's Largest iPod Forums
		There is a knack to getting the earplug inserted deep enough in the ear canal to achieve a good seal.
		As with noise suppression earplugs, you have to open up the ear canal by pulling upwards and outwards on the fleshy outer part of your ear (the Scapha).
		With the likes of the Sony EX70/71 range of 'phones I have found you can also insert the 'phone loosely into your ear canal and then, with the hand on the same side, pull out on your outer ear using the thumb and index finger while pushing the earphone in with the middle finger.
