The key to Skull Screws is said to be their ease of use. It’s often the need to fiddle around that lead to people just ‘not bothering’ protecting their hearing with ear plugs. But using Skull Screws is said to be extremely simple. Made from flexible foam, they’re easily inserted into the ear with a slight twist.
Similar to sun tan lotion’s SPF or Sun Protection Factor, the NRR tells you how many decibels you can expect the products to reduce. Once in place they offer a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 30dB, fully tested to ANSI specifications.
Skull Screws are re-usable, washable and come with a container featuring the Skull Screws logo. Hearos Skull Screws are available for at your local dealer.
Hearos offer ear filters, plugs and guards for noise, water and wind protection. The Skull Screws cost around $ 6 (€ 4,50). Click here for a list of retailers.
