Have you ever attended a particularly loud concert or been dancing in a busy club and woken up the next day to ringing ears? We’ve all been there! However, that exposure to loud noise can do some serious damage to your hearing – damage that we won’t notice until much later.
That’s where hearing protection comes in. With custom-made earplugs for your ears, you can still go to concerts and clubs and have fun but without the headache that comes later from too much loud noise.
Noise is measured in decibels (dB); exposing your hearing to noise that exceeds 100 dB can cause hearing damage, and most concerts range between 90 dB to 120 dB in volume. However, by protecting your hearing, you won’t risk as much damage, or any damage, at all.
Noise exposure is increasing throughout the world around us. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to take care of your hearing so it can continue to take care of you.
Why Is Hearing Protection Important?
When you participate in activities that expose you to loud noises—whether that be nightclubs or concerts with music blasting, swimming or occupational noise on construction sites, for example—your hearing gets slowly but surely damaged.
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most common ways people acquire hearing loss challenges as well as tinnitus, known as a perpetual ringing, buzzing or whistling in the ears.
So why is hearing protection important?
By protecting your ears with hearing protection, you can safeguard your hearing from later issues like cognitive decline, social isolation and dementia. Untreated hearing loss can lead to several other health concerns, but the solution is simple: treating it!
Everyone has different hearing care needs and requires hearing protection at different volumes of hearing. To answer the question of “When should I wear my earplugs for the best hearing protection?” we’d say at concerts, clubs or places where noise exposure is most common – and the loudest!
Protecting your hearing with custom-made earplugs can help you and your hearing stay safe and healthy, meaning you can continue to hear the life you love for longer.
