Abstract

An earplug system includes a pair of earplugs connected by a cord, with each earplug having a body that holds a magnet of opposite polarity to permit selective coupling and uncoupling. When not being used for hearing protection, the earplugs can be magnetically coupled together to form an aesthetically pleasing pendant that hangs around the user's neck via the cord. Each earplug includes a removable tip for insertion into the ear and a body constructed from compliant materials. Optional features include indexing systems for proper alignment, removable cord attachments, and passive acoustic filters for frequency-specific attenuation.
