Loop Earplugs
Winner Startup of the Year 2023
In 2016, two childhood friends, who both have tinnitus, founded Loop Earplugs because they were dissatisfied with existing ranges of hearing protection. They developed stylish, high-quality and, thanks to included ear tips available in 4 sizes, always-fitting earplugs.
The Experience collection for concerts and festivals was followed by the Quiet collection for sound sensitivity, focus and sleep. Their latest innovation, Engage, was specifically designed to facilitate social interactions in noisy environments.
Loop Earplugs reshaped its industry and made earplugs a sought-after fashion accessory worldwide. They are also creating awareness around the major impact of sound on mental health and well-being. The fast-growing team achieves 98% of its sales internationally, in some 150 countries.
