It’s been a long time coming, but the light at the end of the tunnel is here. As the pandemic winds down, it’s time to start thinking about concerts again. And not a minute too soon, if you ask us. There’s nothing wrong with listening to music at home (especially if you use our favorite stereo speakers), but it just isn’t the same. With new tours and festivals being announced every day, the return of live music is exciting news to just about everyone. That is, everyone except your eardrums. Live music and sporting events can do serious damage to your hearing, so it’s always a good idea to use hearing protection. In addition to preserving your hearing ability, ear plugs can actually help you hear music more clearly. When a concert is so loud that the music starts to sound like static, ear protection lets you hear the songs the way your favorite artist intended.
You may have worn disposable ear plugs in the past, but it’s a great idea to invest in some high quality reusable ones. After all, hearing damage is serious business. Your ears deserve more than a little piece of foam to protect them. Plus, quality ones look a lot cooler and will save you money over the long run. Check out five of our favorites.
