ABOUT US 

The idea for BOLLSEN Hearing Protection was born in 2016 out of a personal need. While working as a sales rep across Germany, I often had to sleep in noisy “Autobahn” hotels where rest was nearly impossible. Like many, I relied on cheap €2 foam earplugs from DM and Müller. I lost them constantly, reused them too often, and eventually developed an ear infection. That was the turning point: I wanted earplugs that would last, deliver medical-grade quality, and truly protect hearing.

BOLLSEN Mission: “To provide calmness in a frenetic world while striving for environmental sustainability.”

BOLLSEN started in a small garage on the “Mittlerer Ring” in Munich. From there, we grew into a home office, then into a proper office, and today we operate from a 300 m² headquarters with our own production facility in Slovenia. We now serve customers worldwide through six warehouses located in the US, UK, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.

In 2026, we will further increase production capacity by moving part of our manufacturing to China, ensuring we can meet the growing global demand of over two million earplugs per year. At the same time, our Slovenian and German facility continues to focus on research, development, and innovation.

Innovation has always been at the heart of our work. One example is AR KI TECH — our pioneering online ear measuring service that determines the correct size of earplugs based on customer ear photos, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. This technology reflects our commitment to combining customer feedback with cutting-edge solutions.

After three generations of product development, we introduced our latest conical earplug design in 2021, making them easier to insert, more comfortable, and ideal for side sleepers. This design has been officially certified by the World Intellectual Property Organization and patented by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Looking ahead, BOLLSEN is expanding into new product categories: dog earmuffs, horse earmuffs, and, from 2026 onward, custom-molded earplugs and in-ear monitors (IEMs). Our goal is clear — to become the leading innovator in hearing protection and comfort solutions for people and animals alike.

Today, BOLLSEN products are trusted by more than one million users worldwide, recommended by leading media such as The Independent, BBC, Glamour, and The New York Times Wirecutter, and chosen by partners including Metro Paris and Madame Tussauds Berlin. We remain driven by the same mission that started in a Munich garage: improving daily life through calmness, technology, and sustainability.
