Why is hearing protection important at concerts?
Do you love concerts, festivals or nightclubs? Live music is a great experience, but did you know that above 85 dB, permanent hearing damage can occur ?
How does noise affect hearing?
- Normal conversation – 60 dB
- City traffic – 85 dB
- Rock concert – 110-120 dB
- Nightclub – 100 – 115 dB
If your hearing is exposed to extreme noise for more than 15 minutes, irreversible damage to your hearing cells may occur.
"But I'm used to it..."
You may have experienced ringing in your ears after a concert. This is a sign of temporary hearing damage – if it happens frequently, it can be permanent.
How to protect yourself?
🔇 Use quality earplugs that filter sound but don't change the quality of the music - such as MIOO One.
📏 Keep a safe distance from the speakers - the further you are, the less intense the noise.
⏳ Take breaks - your ears need rest, just like your muscles after a workout.
