Best earplugs for musicians at home, studio, and live
Whether you’re practising at home, rehearsing in the studio or playing live, there’s one thing that all of these scenarios have in common: music is loud.
As a musician, you want your hearing to be top-notch for as long as possible. That means it’s sensible to protect your ears with earplugs for musicians, so you can continue doing what you love without any issues.
Benefits of musician earplugs
Prolonged exposure to loud noise has the potential to damage your hearing – if you don’t use protection. When you’re exposed to noises of 85 decibels or more, you could be putting your ears at risk.
And considering that the average concert is 97 decibels (and rock concerts average 104 decibels), if you play live music, you’re likely to be running the risk of hearing damage if you don’t use musician earplugs. But it’s not just something to think about when you’re playing live – practising music can be loud too.
Musicians of all levels should use hearing protection to reduce the overall volume and intensity of noise. As well as hearing loss, prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause tinnitus – an infuriating ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.
You might have experienced it after leaving a noisy gig, but it’s gone away after a few hours. If you’re repeatedly exposed to loud noises though, tinnitus can end up being a permanent condition. And once you have permanent tinnitus, it doesn’t go away – not ideal when you’re a musician and need to be able to focus on the music.
Exposure to loud noise can also lead to hyperacusis, a condition that causes extreme sensitivity to sound. It can make normal sounds seem uncomfortably loud and painful – again, something you don’t want to be dealing with as a musician.
Although there are various causes of both tinnitus and hyperacusis, one of the most common is exposure to loud noises. Protecting your ears from this type of noise, then, is the best way to prevent both of these conditions.
Why Loop earplugs are your best choice as a musician
Traditional foam earplugs block out sounds, which can be great in some situations. But when you’re playing, you want to be able to hear yourself, your bandmates, and the crowd.
The best earplugs for musicians, then, simply reduce the noise, while keeping sound quality crystal clear. Loop Experience earplugs are specially designed for music lovers, using an acoustic channel and mesh to filter sound waves rather than blocking them. They offer up to 18 decibels (SNR) and 7 dB (NRR) of noise reduction, or you can add on some extra noise reduction with Loop Experience Plus – but the sound quality is still high.
They come with a choice of four ear tip sizes so you can get your perfect fit, and the ear tips are made from super soft silicone. That means they’re comfortable for all-day and all-night wear, and will stay in place, no matter how much you’re rocking out.
