Clear creates advanced, adaptable electronic earplugs to protect adolescent avid music listeners and concertgoers from noise-induced hearing loss. Our earplugs can adjust to changing noise levels, ensuring optimal protection and comfort in any environment. We aim to empower our audience to take charge of their hearing health. Trust Clear to keep your ears safe and sound so you can enjoy the world around you without compromising your hearing health.

The Problem

The average music lover and listener is unknowingly at risk of losing their hearing due to the high volumes and intensities while listening to music. In 2023, the World Health Organization stated, "Over 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.” Therefore, finding a solution to this problem that millions of vulnerable people are unaware of was crucial.

Thesis Statement

“By creating a solution of adaptable electronic earplugs that bridges a technological gap, we can prevent potential hearing loss by empowering adolescents to take charge of their hearing health with a tech-savvy approach.”
