Noise reducing earplugs for concerts

There’s nothing quite like seeing your favorite band play live. From singing along to every word to dancing the night away with likeminded people, for music lovers, gigs are like heaven.

But there is one issue that comes with live music: hearing damage. We love loud music, but it’s not good for our ears.

Have you ever left a gig with ringing ears? That’s tinnitus, and it goes hand-in-hand with concerts. Sometimes it goes away pretty quickly on its own. Other times, it’ll hang around for a day or two. And sometimes, it sticks with you forever.

But there’s no reason to risk your hearing while doing what you love the most. There’s one easy way to avoid tinnitus and noise-induced hearing loss: by wearing earplugs for concerts.

Why wear earplugs to a concert or gig?

Gigs can reach 97 decibels. At that level, it can take just 30 minutes for hearing damage to kick in. And rock concerts are even louder – we’re talking 104 decibels. That’s so loud that your hearing could be damaged within just 7.5 minutes.

Exposure to loud music can cause noise-induced hearing loss. This can happen either when you’re exposed to a single very loud sound – or through lots of exposure over a long period of time.

It can also result in tinnitus, that annoying ringing in your ears. Prolonged exposure to loud music can damage the delicate hair cells in your inner ear, which are responsible for sending sound signals to the brain. When they get damaged, the brain can struggle to process sounds, leading to a phantom ringing in the ears.

Loud music can leave you with tinnitus – and the closer you are to the source of the sound, the worse it can be. So the next time you’re heading to see a band play live, pop in some concert ear protection and take a step back from the speakers. Your ears will thank you for it.

Why are Loop Earplugs good for concerts

The best earplugs for concerts are designed with comfort and noise reduction in mind – while still allowing you to hear the music perfectly. As it should be.

Traditional foam earplugs block out noise, which can put a damper on the concert experience. But Loop Experience is different. These earplugs combine a patented acoustic channel and mesh to filter sound waves, keeping quality crystal clear – just quieter.

They offer up to 18 decibels of filtered noise reduction, or you can get a further 5 decibels of protection with the Loop Experience Plus. So you can rock out, safe in the knowledge that you’re avoiding hearing damage.

Our earplugs come with four different sizes of ear tips so you can find the perfect fit for your ears – meaning they’ll stay in place no matter how much headbanging or dancing you do. Plus, unlike traditional foam earplugs, they’re made for durability so you can use them over and over again, whether at concerts, clubs, or other events.

Wondering which earplugs are best for concerts? Look no further! Loop Earplugs are engineered for live music, balancing clarity with protection. That means you can experience the full spectrum of sound, safely.

Frequently asked questions

How effective are earplugs at reducing noise levels during concerts?

Earplugs are a great solution for reducing noise levels. Loop Experience earplugs, designed specifically for concerts and gigs, offer up to 18 decibels of noise reduction – or an extra 5 decibels with Loop Experience Plus.

Will wearing earplugs affect my ability to hear concert music clearly?

Traditional foam earplugs block out noise, so if you wear these, they can muffle the sound of the music. But Loop Experience let you fully enjoy the gig as they filter sound waves rather than block them out, meaning you can hear every word and note clearly – just at a lower volume.

Can I still have conversations with others while wearing earplugs at concerts?

Earplugs don’t need to mean the end of socializing. You can still hear others perfectly while wearing Loop Experience – or you could choose Loop Engage, which are designed to take the edge off background noise while staying engaged with others. They offer up to 16 decibels of noise reduction and minimize the occlusion effect, which can cause your own voice to hear louder when wearing earplugs.

Will wearing earplugs be comfortable for extended periods during concerts?

Our earplugs are made with super soft silicone ear tips, which are designed for all-day (or all-night comfort). And with different ear tip sizes to choose from, you can find the fit that’s most comfortable for your ears.

How do earplugs for concerts compare to other forms of hearing protection?

Other types of hearing protection for concerts like earmuffs block sound out completely, meaning you don’t get the full concert experience. Loop earplugs, on the other hand, filter the sound so you still hear every word and every beat. Plus, they’re more convenient and come with their own carry case which can easily fit into any pocket.

Do earplugs affect the overall concert experience?

Not if you choose the right concert earplugs! Loop Experience are made for music lovers, by music lovers, with a special design that filters sound waves so you can still enjoy the full experience while keeping your ears safe.

Can I find earplugs that match my personal preferences and suit the concerts that I will be attending?

We have three different earplugs to choose from here at Loops, so you can choose the ones that best suit your needs.
