Ear Plug Superstore's Top Ten Gifts of 2010

1		Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System S-650 - 2010 Gift of the Year When it comes to white noise, this ultimate white noise machine really takes the cake! This white noise sound generator from the popular Sound Oasis line offers 12 authentic digital sounds for sleep and relaxation, including both nature recordings and sound therapy tracks. With optional exchangeable sound cards that each deliver 12 more unique sounds, this is the ultimate in home and office white noise. A clock and alarm function let this soothing soundmaker replace the old alarm clock for less stressful mornings. Great for adults AND infants! Tip: add the extra sound cards plus the special pillow speakers accessory to make this a Sound Therapy Sleep Kit anyone will appreciate -- and actually use! The deluxe features on this premium white noise machine make it perfect for making the office more soothing, setting the mood while relaxing at home, and getting an uninterrupted night's sleep, making the Sound Oasis Sound Therapy S-650 System our 2010 Gift of the Year!
2		Snoremasker Pro - 2009 Gift of the Year The Snoremasker Pro is an in-ear white noise device designed especially for wear during sleep. When normal ear plugs and white noise fail to block out snoring, the Snoremasker Pro offers a peaceful night's sleep. These small, comfortable devices fit snugly inside the ear canal, keeping the noise out -- and a tiny emitter in each ear produces soothing white noise for even better noise masking. The Snoremasker Pro is completely safe and easy to use, and most of all it's effective, making it by far the best snoring relief solution available today. Popular, safe, and effective, the Snoremasker Pro is the perfect gift for any couple (or for your own significant other!), the Snoremasker Pro was our 2009 Gift of the Year.
3		SilentEar Trial Pack Tried and true, SilentEar is by far our most popular consumer ear plug. With a very high Noise Reduction Rating of 32dB and a low profile (the flanges come in yellow or clear), these plugs are great for everything from motorcycling to yard work. These plugs are sturdy, reusable, and come in a handy carrying case. The trial pack includes all three sizes, making this the perfect hearing protection gift for anyone of any size. Author Tim Ferriss (The 4-Hour Workweek ) named the Silent Ear number one on his list of “13 X-mas Gifts That Can Change (or Save) Your Life.”
4		TV Listener TV Headphones - 2008 Gift of the Year If you've ever tried watching TV with someone who is hard of hearing, you know how difficult it can be: either the TV is so loud everyone on your block can hear it, or your hearing-impaired loved one is unable to enjoy TV with the rest of the family. These wireless TV Listener TV headphones are the cure! They let you watch TV at whatever volume is comfortable for you, without deafening the rest of the family (or the neighbors). They're also perfect for watching TV in bed without disturbing your sleeping spouse!
5		Digital WorkTunes AM/FM Ear Muffs WorkTunes radio ear muffs provide hearing protection and music simultaneously. Now Digital WorkTunes offer digital AM/FM tuning, plus a stereo input jack for iPod or other mp3 player listening. The perfect gift for a husband or dad, these provide protection from dangerous noises like lawnmowers, power tools, and leaf blowers. Protect your favorite do-it-yourselfer with a set of Digital Worktunes.
6		Jr. Ear Muffs for Children People are raving about these Jr. Ear Muffs for Children and Babies! Live music, fireworks, races, and other high-volume activities can be hard on kids, and dangerous for their sensitive ears -- but with these ear muffs on, even infants can sleep away during very loud occurrences in peace and safety. Light and comfortable enough for babies and small children. The perfect gift for parents who love live music.
7		ER-20 Hi Fi Musician’s Ear Plugs The ER-20 is a Natural Sound Musician's Ear Plug. These protect your ears from harmful volumes without skewing or distorting the sound the way normal ear plugs do. Perfect for everyone from music students (and music students' parents!) to professional musicians. Also great for anyone who loves live music -- without that ringing in your ears after the show. They come in a variety of cool colors, and so do their optional neck strap accessories.
8		Alpine MusicSafe MusicSafe Natural Sound Musician's Ear Plugs offer hearing protection with no distortion, making them ideal for band practice or live music events. Imported from Europe, these high-tech ear plugs come with three sets of interchangeable filters, letting you choose between low, medium, and high levels of protection. These plugs are comfortable and easy-to-use, making them a great gift for music enthusiasts of all kinds.
9		Pink Pack Gift Assortment A hot seller this year, the Pink Pack Gift Assortment has already become a popular gift choice. It contains a collection of extremely soft foam pink ear plugs designed especially for women, luxury ear plugs imported from France, a pink sleep mask (like the movie stars wear!), and a Pink Noise sleep and relaxation white noise CD. Added bonus: it comes in a pretty pink gift bag, ready to give.
10		Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 200v Earphones w/ Hands Free Capability The Metro.Fi 200v features integrated voice functionality and is specifically designed for use with the iPhone (and other mobile music phones with the same headset jack). A miniature high performance microphone allows for hands free phone calls. An in-line multi-function button answers and ends calls and controls music/video on your iPhone. If you're giving an iPhone as a gift this year, forget the little slip cases and so-last-year belt clips -- this is the iPhone accessory with enough "cool factor" to trump all other iPhone accessories!

Here's wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season from all of us at Ear Plug Superstore.

May your days be merry and bright, and until next time, be safe and do the right thing.
