The MEP-2G is a truly versatile protector with multiple connectivity options, and gives the user the best of all worlds.

The key part of all our products are the specially designed filters, depending on the type of protector chosen these filters can either be set at a specified level when being manufactured or calibrated on location for the specific type of environment or noise exposure level. Our filters create a flat attenuation for the user, by lowering the average noise exposure to safe levels, this simply means that when in use the user will still have environmental and spatial awareness, hearing critical sounds eg. alarms and sirens all while being able to continue to communicate freely with others around them with the HPD’s in use.

The custom made molds are designed to fit perfectly in the ear for all day comfort while being discreet and still working with all other required PPE.

From Industrial usage through to shooting, music, communication, Bluetooth and a whole lot more the MEP-2G unit gives you total control of your environment when it matters. With various colour options available, making it as unique as you are!

Surfers Ear, what is it?

Whether you’re a swimmer, surfer, or water sport enthusiast, protecting your ears is a must. Surfers Ear, which is a common problem in surfers as a result of not protecting their ears from water.

When submerging your head and ears in water – be it in the bath, shower, swimming pool, sea or in a lake or river – floods the external auditory canal. By way of protection, the body reacts by turning wax production levels up to full capacity.

Human wax, which is actually an oily substance called cerumen, is healthy in small quantities. However, too much of it can cause partial hearing loss, pain, tinnitus, dizzy spells and infections. If wax is already present, then it will absorb the water and expand, potentially causing a blocked or muffled sensation. Alternatively, the water gets stuck behind a clump of wax beyond the second bend of your ear canal resulting in temporary hearing loss – and, unfortunately, whilst you can blow your nose, you can’t blow your ears!

The barrier method is the most effective way to protect your ears from water – and from noise too.

Repeated exposure to cold air or water is likely to cause the ear to start to close up. The term is ‘Exostosis’ or ‘Surfers Ear’. In the bony portion of the canal, small lumps begin to grow as defense against the water or cold air in the ears.

Although sailors and cyclists also get it, the phenomenon is most common amongst surfers – hence the name. The common ingredients are wind and water – water in the ear canals and wind blowing past. This causes a refrigeration effect within the ear canal and the body’s response is to pump oxygenated blood into the canal. It’s this oxygenated blood that causes the bony structure around the ear canal to thicken and grow, which will start to constrict and eventually close up the canal. The process does take a while, but the more time you spend in the water the quicker it will happen.

The only way to protect yourself is to block the ear, preferably with custom-made swim plugs – because ear canals truly come in so many different shapes and sizes!

This means that you get full protection from the water – and therefore from exostosis – whilst also being able to enjoy your outdoor experience to the full.

Going back to where it started, an amazing letter from one of our team members here at SoundSafe.

"I have been manufacturing custom in-ear monitors and custom hearing protection for a number of years now, and in this time I have been blessed to have seen all the incredible developments and innovations in this industry as well as being able to work alongside some of the largest companies and artists from around the world. Starting from the silicon duplication technique right through to the latest innovations like the current 3D design and printing method. As a qualified lab technician, and with more than 15 years’ worth of experience, I was given the opportunity to work with Variphone International (again). Through my career in this industry I have had the privilege to design and manufacture various different brands of monitors, with each product being unique in their own way, I still find though, that after all these years, I always preferred a good quality acrylic molded monitor to see me through. When creating a new set of IEM's I describe it a lot like making a work of art, from the body, the faceplate, through to the internals and the soft tip, there is so much detail and time and passion that goes into each one that it does feel as though every IEM that leaves our lab has a piece of you attached to it in some way”

SoundSafe is the official authorized distributor for Variphone NZ and AUS. Variphone International designs, builds and tests all their in-ear monitors to incredibly rigorous standards on specialized software to ensure all frequency levels and sound output are true to their requirements.
The team of sound engineers at Variphone developed their own custom range of monitors using only the very best drivers available. These new IEM’s were put under the Variphone brand as their own very unique custom range.

I made my own set of 3-drivers (3forLive), and for my partner, I made a 2-driver (Go2Rock). After 10 years of use, they are still in perfect working condition, performing as well as the first time they were made. This is a great testament to the talent, quality and passion that has always gone into making the best in-ear monitors in the market.

At SoundSafe our passion for hearing safety is fundamental to who we are as a company. We love what we do and feel what we do should make a difference, with our goal of conservation, education and protection for one of the most vital organs on the body being the key driving force for us as a company.

Variphone International is the leading and most highly recommended manufacturer for Westone Audio and Variphone monitors in Europe carrying the vary stringent and trusted CE mark on all their products.

We also understand how important service satisfaction and after-sales support is to our customers, and carry stock for replacement accessories on both Variphone custom and Westone Audio monitors, as well as custom tip option on universal monitors to help ensure your needs are met to the standards you expect.

We would love to help get you on your way to safer hearing and into the best hearing protection available on the market.
