About Us

Corey Cunliffe, Founder of HearLume


Born from
Necessity

HearLume exists because one night of live music cost our founder his silence — permanently.


My name is Corey.

I went to a live music show like I had dozens of times before. I left with that familiar post-concert ringing — and assumed it would be gone by morning.

It wasn't.

That show caused enough damage to give me permanent tinnitus. A ringing I carry with me everywhere — at work, at dinner, in the quiet moments that aren't quiet anymore.


I still wanted to go to concerts.

I still wanted to live my life. So I searched for something that could protect my hearing without ruining the experience.

What I found was disappointing. Foam plugs that made everything sound underwater. "High-fidelity" options that didn't fit, didn't sound good, or both.

Foam plugs — muffled, disposable, embarrassing
Other "hi-fi" plugs — poor fit, poor sound

So I built what I couldn't find.

High-fidelity earplugs engineered for people who refuse to miss out. Pre-installed acoustic filters. A secure triple-flange fit. Premium sound quality.

HearLume isn't a hearing protection company. It's a company that believes you shouldn't have to choose between protecting your ears and living your life.

"My goal is ensuring the world can enjoy loud events — and more importantly, the silence that comes after."

— Corey Cunliffe, Founder & CEO
