Some of the best products are created as a result of a direct, personal need. They say necessity fosters invention and Happy Ears are no different. Designed after one of its founders suffered hearing loss in one ear for an entire year, following a surfing accident in Bali, Happy Ears was formed to offer a reusable, better-looking, better fitting alternative to those hideous memory-foam earbuds that you throw away after a single use.
Happy Ears earplugs debuted in 2015, going on to becoming a favorite of users as well as organizations and events like SXSW and Lollapalooza. The earplugs helped people to sleep peacefully, work quietly, attend concerts “responsibly” and to simply help people avoid hearing loss in the long term from being in high-decibel environments. Happy Ears came with a sleek, oval design that could easily fit snugly in each ear, with a barely noticeable stem that didn’t obstruct your sleep or movement in any way. Now they’re back in their same, slim, reusable avatar, albeit with one small, significant upgrade… they’re made entirely out of recycled plastics that help reduce ocean pollution as well as noise pollution!
The ‘Happy Ears Recycled’ aims at tackling the waste created by the 1 billion single-use earplugs that are worn and discarded as trash each year. Made from FDA-approved 100 % recycled ABS and TPE plastics, Happy Ears help take plastics out of our oceans, and are designed to be worn multiple times for years, preventing any reentry of plastic into our natural ecosystems. They come with the same, crowd-favorite Happy Ears design that debuted in 2015 (and saw its millionth pair sold in 2020), featuring the 2-part construction of the tiny plastic stem and the elastomer earbud around it. The earplugs sport three sizes that help cover a variety of ear-canal shapes and widths, fitting a wide majority of people, and last over a year with regular daily/nightly use. They’re small enough to fit securely into your ear without any danger of falling out, and can even be worn while sleeping, or with a helmet when motorcycling. Each pair of Happy Ears Recycled comes with its own dedicated carry case, and are sustainably manufactured in Sweden, adhering to strict environmental laws. Overall, they do a much better job at noise-canceling than even the most expensive, over-engineered earbuds (with an SNR of 25 decibels), while effectively being cheaper than disposable single-use foam earbuds in the long run… and vastly better for the environment too!
