Going to concerts, either as a spectator or as a musician, means that you are exposed to a lot of noise on many levels. Regardless of the type of music, whether it's heavy metal or classical music, being exposed to loud music can exacerbate hearing problems like tinnitus over a long time. In addition, it has the potential to decrease your hearing over a long period of time. Prolonged exposure to any noise can deteriorate the quality of your hearing. It is important when you go to concerts to wear earplugs.
If you have ever gone to a concert and experienced a muffled noise or a ringing in your ears after leaving the gig, this is your ears protecting themselves. Usually, it will disappear after a couple of days. But others may experience this over a long period of time. We have to remember that hearing damage can occur at almost any volume, and while a typical conversation is around 60 decibels, you only have to go up to 85 decibels to experience irreversible hearing loss. The typical concert is around 100 decibels. Your ears can only cope with 100 decibels for approximately 15 minutes without any hearing protection devices.

If you go to concerts regularly, you have to be aware of how much exposure to loud noise you are getting over time. Our ears are very sensitive, and if we experience a temporary hearing issue, we should consider ourselves lucky. But if you expose yourself to loud noises regularly, temporary hearing can transition to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. If you have any concerns, or you are looking for advice on the best earplugs for concerts, you can get in contact with the Center for Better Hearing on 510-768-7091 to book an appointment with a hearing instrument specialist.
