Earplugs for Music

Musicians Earplugs

When should you wear Musicians Earplugs?

Musicians spend a lot of their time around damaging noise levels. Whether they play a musical instrument or sing in a band, musicians are at risk for developing music-induced hearing loss.

Almost all instruments are capable of producing damaging sound levels, and then you add in the amplifier and advanced sound systems which can increase the volume even further.

Musicians rely on their hearing in practice and performance Musicians Earplugs, and it is important that their hearing is not compromised over time.

However, many musicians choose to not wear Musicians Earplugs because standard noise-reduction earplugs can degrade the quality of the music. High fidelity earplugs, on the other hand, are capable of letting in the good (the precise tonal quality) and keeping out the bad (the high volume).

High fidelity Musicians Earplugs take into the account the resonant frequency of the ear so that attenuation of the sound is even across the frequency spectrum, preserving the original musical quality, only quieter.

Musicians Earplugs are not only for musicians, but for music lovers as well. For those who frequently attend concerts or music events, investing in a pair of high-fidelity earplugs will save your hearing after years of enjoying the music.

Who should wear Musicians Earplugs?

Professional or amateur musicians of any kind

Students in band or orchestra class and marching band

Music instructors and conductors

Concert and music festival attendees

Nightclub or loud bar attendees

Entertainment industry staff and concert crews

Types of Musicians Earplugs

Custom Musicians Earplugs. Consist of a filter and a custom earplug that is molded to the shape of the ear. The filter is typically a 9, 15, or 25 dB attenuation filter. The ER-15 filter is appropriate for most musicians. The ER-25 filter may be necessary for drummers or amplified bands. The ER-9 filter is appropriate for solo or acoustic performers. Musicians Earplugs offer just that, customization. These can be purchased from a hearing healthcare professional who will first take an earmold impression of your ear to customize the Musicians Earplugs.

Non-custom reusable Musicians Earplugs. An inexpensive alternative for musicians, students, and concert attendees. They still take into account the resonance of the ear to preserve the musical quality, while reducing overall sound volume. Many people are unaware that there are non-custom Musicians Earplugs. When purchasing a pair of musician earplugs, you want to look for the term “high-fidelity”. These are a great inexpensive solution that can save the hearing of students, music instructors, and musicians who are consistently exposed to damaging music levels.

Electronic Musicians Earplugs. Adaptive earplugs that can adjust to changing sound levels. For example, a band instructor may need to hear the student’s questions during band practice, but also get protection from the music when the band begins playing. Adaptive earplugs will let low level sounds (the student speaking) come through naturally, while automatically kicking in to provide a sound attenuation of either 9 or 15 dB during the loud sound (when the band begins playing).
