You might think wearing earplugs to a concert at Blue Bamboo Music<\/a> defeats the purpose of seeing a live show. However, proper ear protection can prevent damage to your hearing while still allowing you to enjoy the music you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loud music and other high-volume noises can increase your risk of hearing loss and tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any regular exposure to sounds louder than 85 dB can cause noise-induced hearing loss. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to damage your hearing. Live concerts can easily range between 100-120 dB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loud noises can permanently damage the hair cells of the inner ear, which play a vital role in the hearing process. Enough damage to the hair cells will lead to hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tinnitus is often described as a ringing in the ears. Some also describe it as a hissing, buzzing, roaring, sizzling, clicking or other noise. In most cases, tinnitus from loud music exposure will resolve itself after a few days. However, it can be a disorienting and uncomfortable symptom, as well as a sign that you have damaged your ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 2016 study followed concertgoers in Amsterdam. Half were given earplugs to wear to a music festival, and the other half were not. Researchers found that those who did not wear earplugs during the event experienced higher rates of temporary hearing loss and tinnitus<\/a> than those who wore them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Different earplugs are available for hearing protection. The kind you choose will depend largely on your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about how to protect your ears or to schedule an appointment with a hearing specialist, contact Aaron's Hearing Aid & Audiology Center<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRisks of Loud Music <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
