class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Some people are afraid of reducing their ability to hear what\u2019s happening around them while on a motorcycle by using earplugs.\u00a0 In fact, it is quite the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Earplugs can cancel out unnecessary noise such as wind and allow you to hear more important things such as emergency vehicles, horns, or the engine of your motorbike.\u00a0 Eliminating non-essential noise can help reduce fatigue during and after motorcycle rides, during track sessions, and races.\u00a0 Excessive noise becomes exhausting and impairs concentration. We all know how important concentration is on the track. You need to be as sharp as possible to avoid mistakes that could result in a crash. This is why it\u2019s crucial to wear earplugs.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_brief\"><\/span>In brief:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Noise cancelling<\/li>\n<li>Hear important surroundings better<\/li>\n<li>Reduced fatigue during and after riding<\/li>\n<li>Improve concentration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12887&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Big_Ear_is_superior_to_other_choices_on_the_market\"><\/span>Why <em>Big Ear<\/em> is superior to other choices on the market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Big Ear earplugs are made from high quality, surgical-grade silicone.\u00a0A trained Big Ear specialist inserts a plug into the hollow of each ear and injects silicone. After the product hardens, the silicone and plugs are removed. The silicone earplugs are polished using specialized equipment and covered with a coating. \u00a0Once the drying period is complete, the earplugs are ready for use.<\/p>\n<p>Big Ear earplugs comfort is superior to generic earplugs because they perfectly fit the inner shape of each ear canal. They are designed to follow the shape of your external auditory canal and end before reaching the fragile ear drum (tympanic membrane). This design ensures they stay securely in place, so there are NO snags when you put on and take off your helmet.<\/p>\n<p>As for maintenance, <em>Big Ear<\/em> earplugs are really easy to clean and <em>Big Ear<\/em> offers a 36 month warranty. \u00a0So if you ever have a problem, they are there to assist you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12890&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_experience_with_the_Big_Ear_Earplugs\"><\/span>My experience with the Big Ear Earplugs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>For a full summer, I tested the <em>Big Ear<\/em> earplugs.\u00a0 I really appreciated their customer service. If you ever have a plug that does not completely seal as it should (which is very rare), they will remake it until it is perfect. They will never let you be disappointed!\u00a0 I loved how they are superior to generic earplugs, not only because they have a much better seal, but also because they are easy to put on, don\u2019t move once installed and are very easy to clean.<\/p>\n<p>At the racetrack most bikes are modified and have after market full exhaust systems which are much louder.\u00a0 It can be very distracting and tiring to ride all day with those high decibel exhaust notes.\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the reason why I think everyone should ride with earplugs.\u00a0 Similarly, the wind noise is much higher at the track due to the higher speeds.\u00a0 Therefore, earplugs become necessary even if the bike\u2019s exhaust is quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Before this test, I was using generic earplugs and I will not go back, that\u2019s for sure!\u00a0 If you try them, you\u2019ll love them!\u00a0 I find it very annoying when my earplugs fall on the ground and become dirty while I put on and take off my helmet, or that they fall inside my helmet when I\u2019m riding. The fact remains that riding without earplugs was much worse obviously, but don\u2019t worry, none of this happens with Big Ear earplugs.\u00a0 I also found the small carrying case for them to be portable and easy to use.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12886&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_worth_the_money\"><\/span>It\u2019s worth the money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>I was personally won over after using <em>Big Ear<\/em> earplugs.

It is clear that it\u2019s a family business that is passionate and they strive for excellence.\u00a0 I highly recommend their earplugs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PROS\"><\/span>PROS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Reusable\"><\/span>+ Reusable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Better_quality\"><\/span>+ Better quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_More_discrete\"><\/span>+ More discrete<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Easy_to_clean\"><\/span>+ Easy to clean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Wont_pop_out_of_your_ears_when_putting_on_or_taking_off_you_helmet\"><\/span>+ Won&#8217;t pop out of your ears when putting on or taking off you helmet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_More_comfortable\"><\/span>+ More comfortable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Protective_case\"><\/span>+ Protective case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_36_month_warranty\"><\/span>+ 36 month warranty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span>Cons:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Website_easy_to_get_lost\"><\/span>&#8211; Website easy to get lost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%93_Hard_to_find_the_right_product_by_yourself\"><\/span>&#8211; Hard to find the right product by yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How to reach them or for more information, visit their website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigearinc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bigearinc.com\/<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Marianne B.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Viga%3A|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bounceInLeft&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=\"I've tested the Big Ear earplugs on the track&hellip;","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":12900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1771],"tags":[2482,2481,1858,2353,2355,1847,1881],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12894"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicksandmachines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
