Musicians, DJs, giggers and people working within the entertainment industry can be exposed to extremely high audio levels on a daily basis. This makes them particularly vulnerable to hearing problems, usually created by a mixture of high noise levels and exposure time, and as such precautions should be taken at all times to protect against possible hearing damage. The use of music earplugs has become very popular as no musician wants to risk their hearing and their livelihood, especially if such a simple act as wearing musicians earplugs will help to prevent against this.
It is important be aware that, as well as being damaged by high volumes, your ears are not really able to transmit what they are receiving very well as they go into a "self-protect" mode when either the noise level is too much or they have been exposed for too long a period of time, or both. The use of musicians earplugs in high noise areas will work to improve perceived audio quality as well as protecting the ears from hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis, which are all unpleasant consequences of noise overdose and are difficult or, at worst, impossible to treat.
It is possible to buy custom fit music earplugs as well as general ones; whichever you choose to go for, you need to ensure that they fit your ears correctly as ones that dont will not block noise levels as effectively. This can lead to musicians thinking their ears are protected when in actual fact theyre not. We stock both ProGuard custom fit musicians earplugs and general music earplugs, such as the Alpine MusicSafe Pro and MusicSafe Classic earplug . It is also possible to buy lubricant gel that ensures easier insertion of the earplugs, and accessories such as sound level meters to monitor exposure to noise.
