Our take
Reducing noise with earplugs isn't always about shielding ears from loud sounds; it can also be to mitigate environmental noise. Individuals grappling with conditions such as misophonia or autism can heighten sensitivity to sound. Often they seek ways to diminish surrounding noise using earplugs. Loop Earplugs is a Belgian brand reshaping how we think about hearing protection to support living life at a personalised volume.
The company addresses the widespread issue of hearing damage, with 1 in 4 adults affected, yet few wearing earplugs. Loop's commitment to revolutionising earplugs lies in its dedication to aesthetics, comfort, reusability and effectiveness, evident in products like the Loop Switch, a 3-in-1 noise-reduction marvel.
The company's success is underscored by its global acclaim and certification as PPE in the EU and US. Looking ahead, Loop plans to expand its product range, introduce new collections like Loop Equinox Seasonal Collection and New Core Colors (2.0), and continue fostering awareness around stylish and comfortable hearing protection. With over 5 million earplugs sold worldwide and a growing team of 250, Loop is poised to lead the earwear industry into a more fashionable, functional, and inclusive future.
