Hey, I’m Max—founder of LUMENEARZ.

I started this brand with one mission: to make hearing protection something people actually want to wear. Not just because it’s important—but because it looks dope, feels good, and doesn’t kill the vibe.

I’ve worked in hearing healthcare for nearly a decade, and I’ve seen what hearing loss really does to people. It’s not just about missing a few words—it’s the isolation, the frustration, the way it disconnects you from everything around you. I’ve helped thousands of people hear again, but here’s the hard truth: once your hearing is gone, it’s gone. No fix. No cure. Just prevention.

At the same time, I’ve always been part of the EDM scene—especially here in Denver, where bass hits different and dubstep isn’t just a genre, it’s a lifestyle. I kept noticing how so many people were hitting shows without any ear protection at all. And honestly, I get it. Most earplugs suck. They’re uncomfortable, they muffle the sound, and they ruin the experience.

So I started asking—what if they didn’t?

That’s where LUMENEARZ came from. After two years of building, testing, and working with some brilliant people, we finally cracked it. These are high-fidelity, beat-reactive LED earplugs designed to look good, feel good, and keep the music sounding crisp—especially those deep, low-end frequencies we all live for. They glow with your vibe, sync to the sound, and are built to go from doors open to sunrise without discomfort.

These aren’t just earplugs. They’re for the real ones who live for music and want to keep experiencing it—without sacrificing their hearing or their style.

And we’re just getting started.

We’re launching in the festival world because that’s home for me—but there are so many places where hearing protection is needed. We’re building something bigger than just a product. This is about changing the culture around hearing health.

Because if you really love music, you should be able to enjoy it forever.
