Hear Sound Clearly, Just Not As Loud!

If you are a musician, more likely than not you believe that protecting your hearing is of utmost importance. With any amount of hearing loss, the fidelity of the sound of any

instrument may change. But, there’s just something to be said about experiencing the music in its full form, unhindered by a volume dial or a set of earplugs. In a way, it’s a “catch 22.” Many audiophiles (music lovers) like to have the volume at a high level in order to experience the music to its

fullest. But by having the volume turned up, you may be placing your hearing in jeopardy.

An easy solution, besides turning the volume down, is to wear earplugs, There are many different brands of earplugs that can be purchased over-the-counter and there are several different types of custom-made earplugs, as well. But ordinary earplugs change the sound quality of the music. The goal of wearing earplugs is to shut out as much sound as possible. By doing so, earplugs significantly decrease the high frequency sounds, which means that you hear mostly the mid and low frequency sounds. The high frequency sounds are the most important for the clarity of

speech. As a result, decreasing the high frequencies can cause voices to be difficult to understand and music can sound distorted, as if you were listening under water.

The type of sound you can experience with Musicians earplugs can solve this issue. Musician’s earplugs reduce the volume of the music without distorting the sound. It’s as if you have a built-in volume control. The nuances of the music are left intact. And so
