Stylish party earplugs
Dancing the night away and socializing with friends – what could be better than a party? Whether it’s a holiday party with your colleagues or a spontaneous house party with friends, there’s always plenty of fun to be had when the music cranks up and everyone’s having a good time.
But parties can pose a problem, too. The music is loud, drinks are flowing, and people are shouting to be heard. All that noise can put your hearing at risk – and for some people, it’s overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. Luckily, there’s a simple solution to reduce the noise levels, protect your hearing, and take the edge off: party earplugs.
Why should you wear earplugs when at a party?
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing problems, including noise-induced hearing loss – which can either be temporary or permanent. And it takes less than you might think for noise to be a potential risk to your hearing. Depending on the party, it can be anywhere from 85 to over 100 decibels – and some parties have music playing through loudspeakers, or even fireworks, which are seriously loud.
When noise levels reach 100dB, it can take just 15 minutes for potential hearing damage to kick in, if you’re not using ear protection. So if you’re not wearing ear protection to parties, you could quickly be at risk of hearing loss or damage.
Have you ever left a party with ringing ears? That’s a condition called tinnitus, and it’s another common effect of exposure to loud music. Wearing earplugs can help to reduce the risk of noise-induced hearing loss and conditions like tinnitus.
And there’s no need to worry about earplugs spoiling your fun. While foam earplugs tend to muffle sound, the best earplugs for parties filter sound waves instead. That means that you can still chat to friends and hear the music perfectly – it’s just at a lower, safer volume.
Parties can be overwhelming for some people, especially those of us with noise sensitivity or hyperacusis (an extreme sensitivity to sound). That means that some people avoid parties entirely, or will spend their time there feeling anxious. Wearing earplugs for parties can help you to have a more enjoyable experience, as they reduce the amount of noise reaching your ears, meaning your anxiety and discomfort is also reduced. hyperacusis
Why Loop Earplugs are your best option
Loop Earplugs are made with both fashion and function in mind. They come in a choice of stylish colors so you can match your earwear to your look – meaning that your earplugs are elevated to an essential part of your party outfit, rather than an afterthought.
Loop Experience earplugs offer up to 18 dB (SNR) and 7 dB (NRR) of noise reduction, with perfect sound quality. That means they’re perfect for parties with loud music playing, when you want perfect sound quality, just at a lower volume. Plus, they can also be used for concerts, sporting events, festivals and other big occasions where you want to be able to hear everything that’s going on.
Loop Engage earplugs are designed with conversation in mind. They offer up to 16 dB (SNR) and 10 dB (NRR) of noise reduction, and are designed to reduce the occlusion effect (the echoey, head-underwater feeling you often get with standard earplugs). So, if you have noise sensitivity or find loud parties overwhelming, Loop Engage will take the edge off without cutting you off from friends and family.
Or, if you want the best of both worlds, opt for Loop Switch™ 2. It offers the choice to flip between Loop Experience and Engage (plus Loop Quiet for maximum noise reduction) depending on your environment, with just a single switch.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I use earplugs specifically designed for parties?
Parties can be louder than you think. With music playing and people chatting, noise levels can be potentially dangerous, especially if you’re exposed to them for a long period of time. Earplugs for parties can reduce noise to a safer level, ensuring you can enjoy your evening without worrying about your hearing.
Can party earplugs reduce the risk of hearing damage from loud music?
Yes, if you choose earplugs with a high noise reduction rating. Loop Experience earplugs offer noise reduction up to 18 dB (SNR) and Loop Engage offer up to 16 dB (SNR) of noise reduction – while Loop Switch offers up to 25 dB (SNR) noise reduction, with the choice to switch between three modes.
Will I still be able to hear conversations and music clearly with party earplugs in?
If you choose the right earplugs, you will. Loop Earplugs like Engage and Experience have been specifically designed to filter sound waves rather than blocking them out, so you’ll still be able to hear conversations and music perfectly – just at a lower volume.
Can I use earplugs if I have ear piercings?
If you have lobe piercings, there’s no issue with wearing earplugs. For other ear piercings, you’ll be able to wear earplugs once they’re fully healed but you may have to be careful during the healing process.
How discreet are earplugs? Will they be noticeable when I wear them?
Loop Earplugs can be as bold or as discreet as you like, with a range of colors to choose from.
Do party earplugs completely block out sound or just reduce the volume?
Traditional foam earplugs block out sound – which isn’t the best solution when you want to hear music and conversations. Loop Earplugs like Engage and Experience filter sound waves, reducing the volume so you can still hear everything that’s happening – just at a lower, safer volume.
