Concerts, tours and music festivals are back in full swing. Music lovers preparing to see their favorite artists on stage — some for the first time in years — might want to invest in a pair of earplugs. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, prolonged exposure to loud music can damage cells in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus. Anything above 85 decibels can damage your hearing, and most live concerts reach 100 decibels near where the audio console is set up.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled some great options on Amazon for earplugs to help protect your hearing at concerts. While you only need an Amazon account to purchase from Amazon, having a Prime account comes with so many more benefits — including discounts, fast and free delivery, and access to movies and TV shows via Prime Video.
