Earplugs for sleeping
Block out snoring, traffic and noise for deeper rest. How to choose comfortable earplugs for the night.
Read articleProtect your ears without losing the music. Filtered earplugs that lower volume while keeping sound natural.
Ordinary foam plugs make music sound dull and muffled because they block high notes far more than low ones. Musicians' earplugs use a special filter that lowers all frequencies evenly - so the music sounds the same, just quieter and safer.
That means you can rehearse, perform and enjoy gigs for years without paying for it with your hearing.
| Reduction | Roughly like | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| ~9 dB | Taking a small step back | Acoustic sets, light rehearsals |
| ~15 dB | A noticeable, even drop | Most live music and bands |
| ~25 dB | Serious protection | Loud stages, DJs, drummers |
Filters lower every pitch by a similar amount, so tone stays true.
Universal fits suit most; custom moulds give the best seal and comfort.
Many use interchangeable filters so one set covers different venues.
Filtered musician plugs are precision items, so a little care keeps them sounding true. Wipe the bodies after use, keep the filters dry and clean, and store them in their case rather than loose in a pocket or gig bag.
Custom-moulded sets last for years with this simple routine, and the filters can usually be swapped if your needs change or one wears out.
