When you attend a concert or festival, you want to enjoy the music without suffering any damage to your hearing. Alpine PartyPlug earplugs are specially designed to reduce the volume of music to a safe level. At the same time, sound quality remains very high and it is still possible to communicate with friends. PartyPlug earplugs can be worn all day (or night). Due to the soft and flexible thermoplastic material, the earplug shapes itself to your ear canal.
SNR 19
An SNR of 19 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 19 decibels across various frequencies.
'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.
SNR is primarily used as a rating system in Europe, while North America often uses 'NRR' (Noise Reduction Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.
