Modern surf and water sports ear protection. EQ Ear Plugs are premium quality, ergonomic earplugs designed by a team of engineers, surfers and kayakers using smooth, medical grade silicone. Built with a breathable membrane by Sympatex®, designed to preserve the user’s hearing and balance while guaranteeing complete impermeability. Overview The EQ earplug consists of a membrane holder and a Sympatex® membrane. This EQ membrane holder is made of hypoallergenic, hydrophobic medical silicone, resistant to chlorine, seawater and temperatures between -10°C and 60°C. Consisting of a fin and a cup, it is placed behind the first curvature of the ear canal to guarantee the waterproofness of the ear while preserving comfort and long-lasting support in the ear.

Quies Earplugs Our customers tend to prefer EQ Earplus over Quies brand, which are more generalist ear plugs not specialized for surfers, kayakers, and watersports.    WHY DO WE NEED TO WEAR SURFER EQ EAR PLUGS The growing number of outdoor sports participants (surf, ski, bike, swimming, running) in challenging conditions has resulted in an increase of ears’ pathologies in numerous regions of the world. A GROWING NUMBER OF EXOSTOSIS PATHOLOGIES Exostosis is one of the main pathology. Exostosis generates an excessive growth of the bone in the auditory canal, resulting in the loss of hearing and can lead to deafness in the worst cases. In addition, the bone growth allows waste and bacteria to sit in the canal, which in turn increases the case of ear infections. A STUDY CONDUCTED BY SURGEONS A study conducted by surgeons in the South West of France in 2010 concluded that there was no protective equipment that addressed the specific needs of water sports participants wishing to prevent it, in particular in terms of hearing, balance and fit. Surgery is the only solution to address exostosis once it is installed. There are also evident risks of bone re- growth when no protection is worn afterwards. INNOVATION FOR WELL-BEING IMPROVEMENT In collaboration with engineers, the surgeons developed an ears eq plugs to prevent from those ears’ pathologies. Using an innovative design made of flexible medical silicone, EQ ear plugs has a breathable Sympatex® membrane, which allows the circulation of air in the ear, and therefore maintaining hearing and balance.
