Meh. My Etymotics earplugs will last for a lot longer than these things and have a carrying case that fits neatly in a pocket.

the standard cylinder shaped disposable ear plugs i have at work can be smashed flat and put in my wallet without being noticeable. i used to keep a pair in my wallet just in case i lost my nice pair for riding my motorcycle.

I think rendered images are best used to show off design elements, not functional advances. The “wow factor” of this product is a functional advance (the compressing of a working earplug into the thickness of a credit card). The design is kinda lame (tabs sticking out of your ears, bulky “card” that could be smaller, etc…).

In other news, a earplug keychain fob is an idea that works with today’s earplug tech.

Seems like a great concept but I wonder how much reduction in dB these plugs would provide since the plug itself seems hollow.

i think everyone is missing the point… of course the disposable sterile earplugs are cheap, easy, and offer better protection than this semi-disposable card concept, but, coming from personal experience as a sound engineer, you never know when you need to pop some earplugs in. i try to keep a pair in my car for emergencies but i’ve realized that my car is not with me more often than not and my poor ears fry for my lack of planning. however, my wallet is always on my person and in that wallet i could have this card with ear plugs on it and that would just be sweet. design could use a bit of polishing of course… but anything to save my ears from a torrent of 120dB deafening sound waves…
