KAABOO is coming up quick so I’m making last minute preparations of what to bring and who to check out.  One of the sponsors Eargasm was new to me – so I had to check them out & this is what I found when I checked in with Ryan from Eargasm.

SF:  You’re new to KAABOO – what made you want to be a part of it? Perhaps you attended last year?

Ryan:  Yes, this is our first year doing the festival. We wanted to be part of this great event because we wanted to get the word out there that earplugs don’t have to be lame! People often associate wearing earplugs at a concert to be burdensome rather than beneficial, but we are trying to change that perception. 

SF:  Why is ear/sound protection important?   So many think louder is better.  The line up of music for KAABOO:

Ryan:  When you hear ringing in your ears after a show, that is because sound-sensitive cells in your ear have been damaged. Your ears will usually recover from the ringing in a day or two and you might think that all is back to normal, but that is unfortunately not true. Repeated exposure to loud noise can result in permanent hearing loss and a persistent ringing sound called tinnitus. Our earplugs help reduce the chance of long term hearing damage and also help prevent the ringing you hear immediately after a concert.

SF:  What’s revolutionary about your product?

Ryan:  Normal foam earplugs muffle sound and block so much noise out that it ruins the experience of listening to live music.

Our earplugs use a special attenuation filter that reduce noise evenly while maintaining the full spectrum of sound. It’s as if you have you ability turn the volume knob on noise around you from a 10 down to a 5 or 6. Everything sounds the same as you normally hear it, just at a lower volume!

Additionally, our earplugs are very discreet and for most users they do not stick out of your ear. No one will even know you’re wearing them! However, if someone does happen to catch a glimpse of them, we don’t think you’ll be that embarrassed to show them off since they have a pretty awesome design.

SF:  Where can Eargasm be found at KAABOO & before?

Ryan:  Our booth at KAABOO will be on the KAABOOLEVARD. We will be giving away free snow cones and have our earplugs available for purchase!

On line you can order Eargasm at their website or on Amazon.com
