Hi Jesús! It's cool that you're doing the job of alerting people to the dangers of being exposed to loud music for extended periods of time. I just bought some earplugs the other day before going to a concert. They look like yours, except the case is made of plastic instead of aluminum, which is not a big deal for me. My question is, how do your plugs compare to everything else out there? Specifically, what's the sound reduction in dBs and the frequency response? Also, "smart plugs" feels a little like false advertising. Developing a "companion app" does not equate to making a product "smart".

@nscmnto what set us apart is the discrete design and the attention to details, like for example the earwax protection that is not present in almost any other earplugs out there. The case might not a big deal, but our compact design and interior tray makes them easy to carry around and easy to use in dark/drunk conditions. Every detail counts. The filters have a sound reduction of 20 dB, but the exact response to the different frequencies we will know once we test it in the laboratory, which will happen after the funding. Yes the earplugs are not "smart" in the sense of "smart device", and we explain that very clearly in the product description, but the word gives the product a better idea of what it is without too many technicalities.

How well do the earplugs block out general background noise in a noisy place like on public transport?

@dmeechan1 they reduce the volume for all the sound around you, while keeping good sound quality, only if the background noise is quite low it will block it, meaning that you won't hear it

Hi Jesus, Thx again for letting me know about EarDial on Twitter. I have a question. What is the expected effectiveness? How big of a sound volume reduction at the ear are we talking about here? And of course EarDial already have my upvote for trying to preserve my hearing. ;)

@darekdoesstuff Thanks! the filters will have an attenuation of about 20 dB. This should keep safe most people at most venues for many hours

Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between these and the ones you can get on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ETY-Plugs...

@esenokan those will stick out of your ear, the case is not so slick, and don't come with a companion mobile app

If these can also filter out hi-pitch frequency sounds, you've got yourself a backer! @_jacksmith @jesucarr

@elizabethhunker it provides a flat attenuation across frequencies, so the sound quality is preserved, only quieter

Nice idea. I hate it when I lose my earplugs, or lose the little plastic case for them. Keeping them on a key chain is great.

The former classical pianist in me says 'awww hell yeah'. I have an old pair from Etymotic that work well but are huge. Will definitely consider these.
