Loop Earplugs expands in Southeast Asia, aims to revolutionize hearing protection

Designed by engineers for festival goers, partiers, fitness class lovers, neurodivergent or sound-sensitive individuals, Loop Earplugs enable you to live life at your own volume without compromising on style or comfort!

Loop Earplugs, an innovator in stylish hearing protection solutions, is thrilled to announce its expansion into Southeast Asia with the launch of its full line of cutting-edge earplugs in Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia.

Loop’s product range, known for its perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and style, is set to redefine the way Southeast Asia experiences volume.

Hearing loss in Southeast Asian cities

The expansion comes at a crucial time for the region. Recent studies indicate that up to 1 in 4 adults in Southeast Asian urban centers are at risk of noise-induced hearing loss, particularly in countries like the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.

In the Philippines, hearing loss has been prevalent among children (7.5%) and adults (49.1%) over the years. In Malaysia, noise-induced hearing loss was one of the most frequently reported conditions. The rise of urbanization and modern lifestyles has led to increased exposure to harmful noise levels, making hearing protection more important than ever.
