We use our ears for communication, obviously, but we also need them to locate sounds, and our balance depends on them as well. Ears are extremely fragile, so it's important to protect your hearing from exposure to loud music, especially during concerts, festivals and large dance events.

Why should you protect your ears?

If you protect your ears properly with earplugs that have high-quality filters, you can enjoy music for longer periods without getting tired. It positively affects your focus and concentration. In addition, you will experience a better balance between low bass and high frequencies in sound. You'll hear music purely and clearly, and at the same time, speech will remain intelligible. If you want, you can come closer to the speakers, the detailed sound image will remain. Also, you have less risk of damaging your ears over time. Wear earplugs to enjoy all the beautiful sounds for longer.

Do you wear high-quality ear protection? Does your partner, son or daughter use ear protection when they visit their favorite shows or concerts? Protect your ears with earplugs that fit your ears best:

1. Special Earplug Filters

With special filters, music sounds good, maybe even better. Your ears will be safe and protected, and you won’t get a beep – tinnitus – in your ear after enjoying a good show for a few hours. Wear earplugs to avoid tinnitus or even going deaf!

You can choose between 20 dB and 15 dB filters. It's important to wear the correct size of earplugs to ensure they fit properly and provide the necessary protection.

Lots of DJs are aware of the importance of their hearing and protect their ears with high-quality ear protection. This means they wear custom-made or generic earplugs with music filters. A good music filter works the same way as your eardrum, they have a membrane and because of that, the music sounds really good. The music filters also protect your ears and attenuate 20 or 15 dB.

2. Wear the Correct Size Earplugs

One size doesn’t fit all! Depending on the shape and size of your ears you'll need the best fit that gives a proper seal of the ear and guarantees that you are protected. Wear the appropriate size: S/M/L or XL of our earplugs to be well protected.

3. Insert & Test your Earplugs

When you insert your earplugs, first hold them between your thumb and finger. With the opposite hand to your ear, pull your ear out and up. On the other hand, gently twist and turn the earplugs a bit, then give the earplugs a light push into your ear. Test your earplugs and tap lightly on them. When you hear a bass drum effect your ears are safe!

Some shows are suitable for all ages like those by DJ Hardwell and Martin Garrix. It is amazing that young kids are able to enjoy these shows, but make sure their precious ears are protected in the best possible way!

When you teach young children how to play music and read music, they create connections in the brain that will last for a lifetime. The same goes for teaching your kids how to protect their ears with excellent music filters and earplugs against noise exposure and overpressure on their ears. Once children experience the difference, they will wear earplugs more easily and they will embrace the idea of protecting their ears in daily life. Teach your child to protect their ears and let them benefit from all the advantages.

If you’re preparing to visit a concert or festival, you can buy our earplugs from our online shop.
