DISTRIBUTOR NEWS FROM MOTOHAUS
25 July 2006 - Motohaus Powersports

Motohaus have been appointed exclusive UK distributors for Alpine, the distinctive moulded ear plugs that bridge the gap between expensive custom-made ear plugs and the disposable foam versions.

Research shows that regularly riding in wind noise will irrevocably result in hearing damage, fatigue and a loss of concentration. With the average noise inside a motorcycle helmet reaching 92.7dB at 100 km/h (60 mp/h), that’s significantly higher than the 80dB ceiling recommended under European health and safety legislation for anyone exposed to noise for a prolonged period of time. Only a tiny fraction of Britain’s 1 million motorcyclists opt for expensive custom-made earplugs, and Motohaus believe there will be strong demand for this affordable alternative to cheap disposable foam earplugs.

What makes Alpine ear plugs unique is that they are fitted with special filters, which attenuate wind noise, but allow other sounds to remain audible, including engine noise, traffic, emergency sirens, passenger and intercom. They are supplied with two sets of exchangeable wind noise filters for average and high-level attenuation. The moulded plugs themselves are produced in a durable, flexible thermoplastic polymer that adapts to the shape of the auditory duct within just a few minutes, and is therefore very comfortable in the ear. Alpine plugs can be easily cleaned with soap and water and are extremely durable, unlike foam plugs which degrade relatively quickly. Alpine earplugs sell for £19.99 inc. VAT

“Alpine offer an innovative, comfortable, hygienic and inexpensive alternative to custom-made ear plugs that cuts out harmful sound while allowing the rider to hear normal speech,” comments David Gath of Motohaus. “Gone are the days of feeling cut off from reality!”
