Decibels at Giraffe Coffee Roasters

We met Michael van der Beijl from Giraffe Coffee Roasters. On a sunny day he was delivering coffee at Groothandelsgebouw Rotterdam.

After his tour, he stepped into the Earproof office to talk about decibels at Giraffe Coffee Roasters and earplugs.

At Giraffe Coffee Roasters, it smells fantastic, but they make a lot of noise… so many decibels that Micheal and his team’s hearing can be damaged.

Together with Peter from Earproof, we went looking for the best earplugs. Michael tested a few different types of filters and opted for an earplug with a 20db attenuation. With Earproof Earplugs, Michael protects his ears optimally, but most importantly, he can still communicate with his colleagues.

Now, all staff at Giraffe Coffee Roasters protect their ears with Earproof earplugs. Ideal at work for high decibels but also for concert or festival

Depending on the loud sounds, duration of exposure, type of music, and other factors, we recommend damping between 15 and 25 dB.
Read our blog post on choosing the right attenuation.

In our webshop, you will find all types and sizes of earplugs.
In loud environments and amplified music events, we recommend our bestseller, the Earproof Dance 20db.

The Surfoloog: “The Best Earplugs for Surfers”

Ronald the Surfoloog about the Earproof Earplugs for Surfers:

“Man, they are expensive, but they are really fantastic. To have these custom made you have to drop by in Rotterdam. That is also the reason why they are relatively expensive. It takes quite a bit of craftsmanship to make a good mold. and then have it made into a cap.”

“I can say with certainty that this is my favorite surfing earplug of the moment.”

Earproof Surfers are earplugs that cover your ear canal and part of the auricle, especially for surfers, to protect the ears against water and the overwhelming sound of wind and waves.

With these custom-made earplugs, you can choose 5dB or 20dB filters. The 5db filters remove the wind and the pressure of the waves and ensure that you can communicate more easily with other surfers. The 20db filters take away the wind and the pressure of the waves, and you can even wear them as hearing protection at festivals and concerts.

The Earproof Surfer is made of a special soft material that is comfortable to wear, floats on the water, and includes a fixed cord.
