As a musician, sound engineer, or fan, if you frequently go to loud concerts for a period of three hours or more, it can be enough to cause lasting damage to your hair cells in the cochlear, which is your hearing. Thus, hearing protection is highly recommended.
Many musicians refuse to use conventional noise reduction earplugs because of distorted music sounds. However, Musician's earplugs are designed to allow attenuation evenly across the frequency spectrum -- reducing the volume while retaining the original quality of the sound. It is a custom-made earplug which increases comfortability when wearing.
There are three types of attenuator available: ER-9, ER-15 and ER-25. The number corresponds with the amount of sound reduction provided in dB. |
