The Sound of Silence: A Guide to Hearing Protection at Live Events

3 MIN READ

Whether you’re rocking out at a concert, cheering at a sports event, or dancing the night away at a club, there’s no denying the electrifying energy of live events. However, amid the cheers and music, there’s a silent danger that often goes unnoticed: the risk of hearing loss.

The deafening decibels of live entertainment

Live events are notorious for being very loud. The World Health Organisation recommends that exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels (dB) for long periods of time can lead to hearing damage. Many concerts and events exceed this threshold, with some gigs and nightclubs reaching sound levels in the region of 97 dB and 100 dB, which gives you, would you believe, a safe exposure time between 30 and 15 minutes. 

The impact of hearing damage

1. The unseen consequence

 

Hearing damage is often a gradual process, and the impact can go unnoticed until it’s too late. Constant exposure to loud music and cheering crowds can lead to irreversible damage over time.

 

Prevention tip: Use ACS Custom earplugs to protect your ears from harmful decibels, even if the impact isn’t immediately apparent.

 

2. The clarity conundrum

​

Traditional foam earplugs may reduce noise, but they often sacrifice the clarity and quality of sound. The nuances of the music can get lost and it affects your overall experience.


Prevention tip: Opt for ACS Custom earplugs that provide a perfect fit, preserving sound clarity while offering effective protection.
