Tony Dietz has spent a lot of time in places that are not healthy for your ears: swimming in the ocean off the coast of Australia, diving into pools below military jets, and performing research on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.
His work on a ship off the coast of Virginia, coupled with his childhood experiences and risk-taking Australian mindset, led him to become an entrepreneur for the first time. When he set out to create his earplug prototype, Dietz used memories of the striking silence reached just below a pool surface as inspiration for the founding of his company, Paxauris, and its Fluid™ Earplug inflatable design.
The pre-launch of the his company’s Kickstarter campaign is underway with the full campaign scheduled to begin later this summer.
