Arroyo Seco Students Conserve Their Hearing with Alpine

Alpine’s MusicSafe Classic and MusicSafe Pro offer two and three sets of exchangeable acoustic filters, respectively, for hearing protection that’s adaptable to the program material. And, unlike conventional foam ear plugs, Alpine’s ear plugs preserve excellent musical quality, allowing Flores’ students to hear and blend well with other musicians. Flores notes that the Alpine ear plugs fit his students’ different ear sizes well due to their double-flanged, tapered design. “The kids really like them because they’re comfortable to wear,” he says, “and they don’t have ringing in their ears after band practice.”
Flores also hosts “rock club” during breaks. “For rock club our students bring their own instruments,” he says, “and, with the Alpines, they can hear just fine but I don’t worry about hearing loss. It’s just like turning down the volume.”
