BOLLSEN Dog Ear Protection
(www.bollsen.co.uk) – Our Test Winner!
The BOLLSEN DOG Ear Protection and canine ear protection has secured the first place in most categories. The product excelled in terms of price-performance, functionality, and innovation.

We conducted a thorough examination of BOLLSEN’s dog hearing protection, with our primary focus on safety, durability, functionality, comfort, and quality.
The dog ear protection was delivered just 2 days after placing the order. The package included the hearing protection as well as a reusable carrying case. This high-quality carrying case is ideal for storing the product.
At £67, the dog hearing protection falls into the mid-range price category. While there are more affordable products available, we raised the bar here.
The hearing protection is available in four sizes, which can be further individualized through a size adjustment system. The hearing protection can, therefore, be adjusted to fit more loosely or snugly. The strap length can also be regulated. A secure fit of the hearing protection is not only comfortable but also crucial for effective protection – a thumbs up for this. Moreover, the hearing protection, weighing only 280 grams, is a lightweight and is suitable for all dog breeds.
We subjected the dog hearing protection to various mechanical stress tests and were impressed to find that it withstood all realistic impact scenarios. Nevertheless, we recommend that regardless of the product you choose, you should exercise caution and avoid taking your dog into loud areas to prevent hearing damage.
During our testing, there was a welcome heatwave, allowing us to test the dog ear protection in high temperatures. The ventilation channels proved to be very useful, as wearing the earplugs remained comfortable even after several hours.
Lastly, we also verified the warranty promise, according to which BOLLSEN Hearing Protection offers a 40-day return policy. We returned the product after 5 weeks and received a full refund. Another thumbs up for this.
Conclusion: We are convinced in every aspect and confidently place the dog hearing protection at the top of our test list. While a greater variety of colors, beyond just black, would be nice, BOLLSEN Hearing Protection will likely expand its range soon. In terms of safety, comfort, and price-performance, we see a clear winner here.
