If you have ever ordered AirPods or earphones, you would typically receive 3–4 different-sized ear tips with them. This is because everyone's ear canals are unique in shape and size—much like a fingerprint. So brands send you multiple options so that you can try and see which one fits the best.

Earplugs face the same challenge. When they're too large, they won't fit properly in your ear canal and can't provide adequate noise protection. If they're too small, noise can leak through, making them ineffective.

That's why reusable earplugs also come with multiple ear tip sizes. This lets you test different options to find the size that fits best and blocks noise most effectively.

But what about the remaining ear tips you don't use?

The Environmental Cost of Excess Ear Tips

The remaining ear tips often end up in your drawer of old electronics and e-waste. While they may eventually make their way to recycling centers, their small size makes them unlikely to be recycled properly — they simply get lost in the sorting process.

So there’s a high chance that they might end up in landfills or oceans and sit there for decades if not centuries.

Marine and land species might confuse these for food and end up choking in them. If they somehow manage to digest them, they might enter our food chain too.

GOB’s One-size-fits-all solution

We have designed GOB’s earplugs to fit in almost every ear, and it allows the material to form to your ear. They are similar to the memory foam ones when it comes to comfort and fit. They mold to your ear like memory foam rather than expanding and pushing themselves out. This helps them take the shape of your unique ear canal and fit in snuggly, without creating any pressure like the traditional earplugs.

But unlike the memory foam earplugs, GOB’s mycelium-based earplugs return to nature by breaking down into nutrients that feed the soil.

As a USDA Certified 100% Bio-based product, these earplugs contain no microplastics and no harmful residue — just pure mycelium doing what it does best: regenerating the earth, naturally and without compromise.
