Custom iPod Earpieces
I spend a lot of my time listening to my IPod™ but the little earbuds start to hurt after awhile. They are not very comfortable and when I go running they actually fall out and I am constantly repositioning them!
The truth is, “bud” styles allow so much noise from the environment to enter your ears and the sound that you want to hear bleeds out into the cosmos that you turn the volume even higher to combat that noise. Studies have shown that “bud” wearers typically turn their MP3 players up to 120dB, safe to your ears for just seconds. But with custom-made plugs that can be used on either your IPod™ (or other MP3 player) or your cell phone, users tend to leave the volume much lower, a safer volume of 80-85dB. With these plugs it is safe to wear your headphones for hours.
