Ears 360 Silence Earplugs Use a Retracting Spiral Instead of Deep Canal Insertion
Ears 360 Silence is a French-designed earplug that replaces foam or silicone tips with a soft spiral that sits against the outer ear. It twists open, tucks into the ear's ridges, and retracts to stay in place without pressure, making it suitable for side sleepers. It has a certified 24 dB noise reduction rating, IPX7 water resistance, and optional triple-flange tips that can raise attenuation to about 29 dB.
Ears 360 Silence is a French-designed earplug by Youcef Abdaoui. Instead of foam or silicone tips pushed into the canal, it uses a soft spiral that opens with a twist, rests along outer-ear ridges, and retracts to hold position through shape rather than pressure. This low-profile fit is aimed at side sleepers.
Its certified noise reduction rating is 24 dB under EN 352-2:2020, with peak attenuation near snoring and speech frequencies. It is IPX7 water-resistant and includes four tip pairs: small, medium, large, and double-flange. An optional triple-flange tip from the Swim & Work Kit can push attenuation toward 29 dB. It comes in black, pink, or green with matching case.
Ears 360 Silence may appeal to side sleepers, office workers, and anyone who finds canal-inserted plugs uncomfortable. If its outer-ear fit performs as described, it could make overnight noise reduction easier to tolerate and encourage more discreet use in shared or noisy spaces. Its optional higher-attenuation tips might also serve swimmers or workers needing temporary protection. The broader effect may be modest but meaningful: more comfortable, reusable options could shift expectations for everyday hearing protection, though real-world comfort and durability will determine adoption.
