Musician earplugs
As a musician, music is everything. It’s a huge part of your life, whether you’re a professional or an enthusiastic amateur.
But playing music often comes with a price: hearing damage.
Have you ever finished playing a show, feeling high on life and proud of your achievements – but it’s been dampened by one thing? A ringing in your ears.
That’s called tinnitus, and it’s very common in musicians. There’s a host of famous musicians with tinnitus, from Dave Grohl to Ozzy Osbourne.
But trust us, it’s not a club you want to become part of.
This ringing in your ears can be temporary and may go away after a few hours. But sometimes, it can become permanent. And when that happens, there’s no going back.
But doing what you love doesn’t have to come with a risk. There is another way: musician earplugs.
Why should musicians wear earplugs?
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can have a big impact on your hearing. You’re at risk of potential hearing damage when you encounter noise over 85 decibels.
The average concert is 97 decibels, and rock concerts are even louder, at 104 decibels. At that level, it doesn’t take long for hearing damage to kick in. We’re talking 30 minutes or just 7.5 minutes, respectively.
Earplugs help to reduce the overall volume and intensity of noise, protecting your ears from potential harm, and reducing the risk of developing tinnitus.
Whatever type of music you play, from rock to orchestra, your ability to hear is an important part of being a musician. Whether you play for fun or it’s your career, you want to be able to enjoy making music for as long as you can. Ear protection made for musicians can help to prolong your ability to play for many years to come.
And while earplugs for musicians aren’t a substitute for in-ear monitors, they’re an extra thing to have in your toolkit when it comes to playing music and keeping your hearing safe.

Why Loop Earplugs are your best option
When you’re playing music, you want to be able to hear yourself and others. Traditional foam earplugs can block out sounds, which can be a problem when you’re trying to play.
But the best earplugs for musicians are made with this issue in mind. Loop Experience earplugs have a cleverly designed acoustic channel and mesh that filters sound waves rather than muffling them. That means you get reduced noise – with up to 18 decibels of noise reduction, or a further 5 decibels with Loop Experience Plus – but the music still sounds crystal clear and you can hear your own voice over the sound of the music.
That makes them a great choice both for playing music and going to concerts and festivals, when you want to hear every note and beat.
When you’re playing for hours, you need to feel comfortable. Our earplugs are designed with that in mind, using super soft silicone ear tips that come in a choice of four sizes, so you can get the perfect fit for your ears.
Our earplugs are built to last. They’re reusable and come in a handy Carry Case which easily fits into your pocket or bag for on-the-go hearing protection. You can even use our Loop Link connector cord so your Loops are always within easy reach, whenever you need them.

Perfect for metal gigs! I’m a long time rock and metal live music fan. I had been dubious about earplugs at gigs as I didn’t want them to impact my experience. I gave these earplugs a go at a gig on Saturday and wow, I’m seriously impressed. Less crowd noise and I could hear the music more clearly. I’m a total convert.

Unlike regular foam earplugs, Loop Experience earplugs don’t muffle sound waves. That means that you’ll still be able to hear your own instruments and others’ instruments, helping you to stay in time and in sync.
Can earplugs protect against tinnitus and other hearing-related issues?
Tinnitus can often occur when you’re exposed to loud noises for a prolonged period of time – like at concerts and events. Wearing earplugs can protect your hearing both from noise-induced hearing loss and the annoyance of tinnitus.
Can I use earplugs in combination with in-ear monitors or headphones?
Yes, many musicians wear both earplugs and in-ear monitors or headphones to help you stay in sync with the rest of the band, perfect your performance, and protect your hearing.
Can I use earplugs for other noisy activities, such as attending concerts or sporting events?
It’s a good idea to protect your hearing whenever you’re in noisy places, like events, concerts and nightclubs. You can wear our earplugs for up to 18 decibels of noise protection, wherever you are. Plus, they’re designed to look discrete and stylish with a choice of colors so you can match them to every look.
What is the difference between earplugs and musicians earplugs?
There’s a wide range of earplugs out there, but the best musician earplugs are made to filter sound waves rather than blocking them. That means that the sound quality is high, while noise is reduced – so you can protect your ears while enjoying the full experience of playing music.
