Earplugs for DJs
As a DJ, you spend hours every night on the decks, spinning your favorite tunes. The crowd is going wild, singing along with every song, and screaming for one more tune.
You love loud music and you love your job – but prolonged exposure to loud music can be detrimental to your hearing health, both in the short- and long term. So if you want to keep doing what you love for years to come, it’s a good idea to start protecting your hearing with DJ earplugs.
Why hearing protection for DJs is important
Nightclubs are loud. Like, really loud. It’s not only the sound of the music, but also the crowd noise – and with these factors combined, the average nightclub can reach 100 decibels. At that level, it can take just 15 minutes for potential hearing damage to kick in, without hearing protection.
When it comes to hearing damage, it’s not just the volume of the noise that can cause problems, but also how close you are to the source of the noise. That means that if you’re right by the speakers – as DJs usually are – you could be putting yourself at even greater risk of hearing damage than the people dancing in the crowd.
That hearing damage can manifest as hearing loss – either as short-term hearing loss, known as temporary threshold shift, when your ears feel funny after exposure to loud noise – or as long-term hearing loss.
It can also result in ringing in your ears after being exposed to loud noises for hours on end. That’s called tinnitus and it can be caused by noise-induced hearing loss through exposure to loud noises, either over a prolonged period of time or as the result of a one-time exposure to a single loud sound.
It can also cause hyperacusis, an extreme sensitivity to sound, which can also be caused by exposure to loud noises.
Hearing protection for DJs, then, is crucial to help keep your ears safe. But you can’t just use any old earplugs – after all, you still need to be able to hear everything with perfect clarity. That’s why the best earplugs for DJs balance sound quality and hearing protection, so you can keep your ears safe while enjoying the full experience.

The benefits of DJ earplugs
Wearing earplugs in between sets will help to reduce the volume, reducing it to a safer level – and if you choose the right earplugs, it’ll ensure you protect your ears from hearing damage, tinnitus and hyperacusis without affecting the quality and clarity of the music.
Loop Experience earplugs have been made by music lovers for music lovers. They offer up to 18 decibels (SNR) and 7 dB (NRR) of noise reduction – or a further 5 dB when you opt for the Loop Experience Plus.
And while most earplugs block sound and muffle tones, Loop Experience earplugs are different. They combine a patented acoustic channel and mesh to filter sound waves instead of blocking them. That means that the sound quality always stays clear – just at a lower volume. Plus, earplugs attenuate the volume evenly across different frequencies, so the music is clear and balanced at all times – so there’s nothing standing between you and the perfect song choices.
And, because Loop Earplugs don’t completely block out noise, you can easily communicate with everyone around you, from the crowd to your team.
They come with a choice of ear tip sizes so you can get the perfect fit for you, and the ear tips are made from super soft silicone. That means you’ll enjoy all-night comfort and hearing protection, no matter how long your set is.
Just because you work in a noisy environment doesn’t mean that you thrive when there’s background noise. Excessive noise can be distracting in any job – so if you’re a DJ who struggles to focus because of the noise, earplugs can reduce the overall volume and help to improve your overall focus.
