Which Earplugs Do You Need for a Festival?

VTM NIEUWS made a fantastic piece together with our very own Maaike Van Eeckhoutte about protecting our ears with earplugs. This is specially important now with all the festivals, concerts, and events going around during the summer. Take good care of your ears!

You can see the piece right here. It is only available in Dutch, unfortunately.

ExpORL goes to Beach Festival

Last weekend, ExpORL representatives were present at the Ostend Beach Festival! They were kindly invited by De Tuut van Tegenwoordig to distribute free ear plugs to the general public in order to prevent hearing damage and tinnitus, which is (unfortunately) quite common in such venues with loud sounds and music.

We thank Sara, Tilde, Annelies, and Sam (from left to right in the photo) for their effort to help take care of our ears!
