How can you go to a concert without permanently damaging your hearing?
First and foremost, invest in a pair of earplugs. A 2016 study of 51 concertgoers, published in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, found that 8 percent of those who wore earplugs with a noise reduction rate of 18 dB experienced hearing loss.
Can concerts damage your hearing?
Long exposure to sounds over 85 decibels (dB) can cause hearing loss. Concerts tend to be about 115 dB or more, depending where you're standing. The louder the sound, the shorter amount of time it takes for noise-induced hearing loss to occur. In most cases, tinnitus from concerts will resolve itself within a few days.
Which earplugs block out the most noise?
Low-tech foam earplugs are still considered by many to be the most effective type at blocking out noise. To use foam earplugs effectively, you'll need to fit them appropriately in your ear. This internal positioning is what makes them so effective.
How do I completely block all sounds?
The most reliable way we've found to block higher-frequency sounds is to use earbuds that are designed to completely and deeply seal the ear canal. Many audiophile-style earphones that use over-ear cable routing are designed to slip farther into your ear, so they also do well at blocking higher-frequency sounds.
