Shush Sleep and Swim Earplugs

Shush Sleep and Swim Earplugs

Shush Sleep / Swim Earplugs are perfect for use for both sleeping and swimming. The versatile 2-in-1 earplugs have no sound filter and completely seal your ear canal. This provides maximum attenuation for undisturbed sleep. They also keep water out of your ear, preventing inflammation from dirt, chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful substances in the water.
SUSTAINABLE AND EFFECTIVE
The earplugs are made of soft synthetic rubber. This material has a higher density, which means it attenuates more sound than regular silicone earplugs. The quality of this material is much more durable; they are 4x longer reusable than traditional silicone earplugs. The synthetic rubber is also hypoallergenic. Unlike silicone earplugs, these earplugs do not cause skin irritation in the ear canal. Since there is no filter in the earplugs, the rubber is more flexible and softer for optimal wearing comfort and a perfect fit for sensitive ears.

MAXIMUM ATTENUATION FOR SLEEPING
The earplugs provide maximum attenuation against disturbing noise so you can sleep undisturbed. Sound is perceived in two ways: through air conduction (via the ear canal, through your eardrum) and through bone conduction (through your skin, conducted via your skull). With earplugs, you can only reduce the sound that enters through your ear canal. Sound that enters through bone conduction cannot be reduced with earplugs. This is safe, as sounds like your alarm clock or fire alarm signals remain audible.

WHAT IS DISTURBING NOISE?
Research has shown that sounds above 50 decibels are perceived as disturbing. To sleep well, you ideally want to hear no sounds above 45 decibels. Snoring sounds vary in intensity from 40 to more than 75 decibels. Shush Sleep/Swim earplugs reduce sound by about 30 decibels. Therefore, snoring sounds up to 75 decibels can be effectively reduced to a level below 50 decibels with these earplugs. This allows you to sleep well without being disturbed by noise.

PROTECTION AGAINST WATER IN THE EAR
Shush Sleep / Swim Earplugs completely seal your ear canal to keep water out. Swimming water can contain chlorine, dirt, bacteria, and other harmful substances that can cause inflammation, resulting in symptoms such as itching, ear pain, discharge, and/or temporary hearing loss. By wearing swim plugs while swimming or during other water sports, you prevent contaminated water from entering your ear.
If you have tubes in your eardrum, a perforated eardrum, or a damaged eardrum, use these swimming earplugs when swimming, bathing, or showering. This will prevent moisture from entering your inner ear. In a swimming pool, sound levels can rise to harmful values. Due to screaming children and the echoing acoustics, using these earplugs is also a wise choice outside of the water.

ONE SIZE FITS MOST
Shush Sleep/Swim Earplugs have a universal fit and are designed with a three-layer mushroom shape (fins) from large to small (sizes: S, M, L). If you have a narrow ear canal, it is sufficient to insert the earplugs up to the first layer. Your ear will then seal well and the sound will be effectively dampened.
If you have a wide ear canal, the earplugs will fit entirely in the ear, up to the third layer. If you have a wide ear canal, be careful when inserting the earplugs for the first time. Make sure you do not push them too far or too deep into your ear canal. They may then be difficult to remove from your ears or it may even be necessary to use tweezers.

Every ear canal is different; ears come in various shapes and sizes. Shush Earplugs fit in 99.9% of all ears. There are exceptions of ear canals that are too small or too wide, or simply the wrong shape to fit a universal shape. As a result, the earplugs may not seal your ear canal properly. Therefore, test the earplugs carefully first before you go swimming. This way, you can be sure that your ear canal is sealed properly and no water gets into your ear.

SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
With daily use, the earplugs last for years. Shush earplugs are made from recyclable, hypoallergenic, and silicone-free synthetic rubber (TPE) and contain no toxic or hazardous substances. This material has an exceptionally long lifespan (Shush earplugs are reusable 365 times) and is hypoallergenic, so you won't experience skin irritation. The storage case is made from high-quality aluminum with a rubber ring. The packaging is made from FSC certified cardboard and the holder is made from fully biodegradable bagasse. It is the first plastic-free packaging for hearing protection.

What this product is used for
Earplugs for blocking hearing while sleeping or swimming.

Instructions for use
Check before use if the Shush earplugs are clean. Shush earplugs come in one universal size and there is no difference between left and right.

Inserting:
1. Hold the earplugs by the stem. Use the hand on the same side as the ear where you want to insert the earplug.
2. Use your other hand to pull the top of the ear shell slightly upward so that the ear canal is better opened.
3. Gently slide the earplugs into the ear canal in an upward motion.
4. Release the ear shell and push the earplug a little more if necessary until it seals comfortably.

Removing:
Twist the earplug or move your ear shell back. This allows the earplug to loosen slightly and air to come in. You can then easily remove the earplug from your ear.

Shush earplugs are easy to clean with water and soap. With daily use, the earplugs can last for years. For good hygiene in the ear canal, it is important to clean the earplugs after use. Store your earplugs clean and dry in the free aluminum storage case provided. Use this case as a keychain so you always have your earplugs within reach.

Read the package leaflet before use.

Contraindications
Do not use with an inflamed ear.

Ingredients
Recyclable, hypoallergenic, and silicone-free synthetic rubber (TPE)

Warnings
• Shush Earplugs only provide optimal protection when they are inserted correctly and kept clean. Therefore, make sure to follow the steps in this user manual carefully.
• Do not use in an inflamed ear.
• After use, always remove the earplugs from your ears slowly. A vacuum may form; pulling the earplugs out too hard or too quickly can damage the eardrum in that case. Twist the earplug or move your ear shell back so that the earplug loosens slightly and air comes in before you take it out.
• Do not swallow. Not for internal use, except in the ear canal.
• Keep out of reach of children due to the risk of choking/suffocation.
• Certain chemical substances can cause the earplugs to wear out more quickly. Therefore, always store them clean and dry - in the included aluminum storage case - so that dirt cannot damage the earplugs.
• If the instructions for use are not followed correctly, the protective effect may be negatively affected. In this case, Shush takes no responsibility for any possible consequences.

Storage advice
Comes with an aluminum storage case.
Keep your earplugs clean and dry for good ear hygiene.

Additional information
• Always check that the earplugs are properly placed in the ear canal before entering the water. If the ear canal does not seal properly, the waterproofing may decrease and the risk of ear infections may increase.
• Use the Shush Sleep / Swim Earplugs only for swimming at surface level. The earplugs are suitable for use up to two meters underwater. These earplugs are not suitable for deep-sea diving or other activities involving great depths.
• Shush Sleep / Swim Earplugs provide protection against water in the ear canal, but cannot guarantee complete protection against ear infections. Consult a doctor for existing ear problems or if irritation or pain occurs after use.
• Sounds are perceived in two ways: Through the air (via the ear canal, through your eardrum) and through bone conduction (through your skin, conducted via your skull). Shush Sleep / Swim Earplugs seal your ear canal, providing maximum attenuation of sound through air conduction. The earplugs block your ear canal so that this sound is muffled. Sound that enters through bone conduction cannot be muffled. And that is safer. Sounds like your alarm clock or alarm signals from a smoke detector remain audible in this way.
• The loudest snoring sound ever recorded is 95 decibels. Fortunately, such sound levels are very rare, as at these sound levels sleep earplugs are insufficient. The muffled sound is still above 50 decibels and is therefore still perceived as disturbing.
• Earplugs cannot muffle your own snoring sound, as that sound comes from within. If you have trouble sleeping due to your own snoring, earplugs usually do not help. Ask an ENT specialist what options are available to reduce snoring.
• Individual experience with sound attenuation and comfort may vary. The earplugs fit in most ears, but not every ear canal is suitable for universal earplugs. Stop using the earplugs if you experience pain, discomfort, or irritation, and consult a doctor if necessary.
• Earplugs can improve sleep quality by reducing ambient noise, but they are not intended as a medical device for sleep disorders. Consult a specialist for serious sleep problems.
