Importance of a Deep Seal

A deep eartip seal ensures the best performance 

and prevents the “hollow voice” sound, called the 

occlusion effect.

•  The occlusion effect is caused by sound transmission into the ear 

from vibration of the ear canal wall when the ear is occluded by 

an eartip.

•  The vibration comes from sound pressure developed in the back 

of the mouth.

•  The occlusion effect is most commonly caused by vibration from a 

person’s own voice, especially from speaking the sounds “ee” and 

“uu,” or from playing a brass or woodwind musical instrument.

•  The occlusion effect is worse when there is a shallow insertion  

of the eartip.

• Deeply-sealed eartips reduce the occlusion effect.

Note:

 The BEAN comes with a large selection of eartips, including  

two sizes of 3-flange eartips with long stems. Depending on your  

ear geometry, the longer stems may allow the deepest seal.

ON/OFF

The BEAN turns on and off by opening  

and closing  the battery door.   

Note: It is not necessary to remove the  

battery as  long as the door is open wide  

enough to disable the circuit.
