Earplugs for Tinnitus

Prevent ringing ears after loud events
You’ve had an amazing night out at a club, only to leave with ringing ears. Or you spend all day working on a construction site, and battle with buzzing ears when your shift ends. Or perhaps you’ve spent the night singing along to your favourite band live in concert – only to leave the gig with ringing ears.
It’s called tinnitus, and whatever the situation, there’s one common denominator that can cause tinnitus: loud noise.
Sometimes tinnitus is temporary, and vanishes after a few hours – but sometimes, the damage can be permanent. And once you’ve got tinnitus, it doesn’t go away.
Loud noises aren’t the only cause of tinnitus – but they’re one of the most common, and the most preventable. So, if you find yourself in loud environments where noise-induced hearing loss is a risk, it’s important to protect your hearing. Luckily, there’s one easy way to do that: with tinnitus earplugs.
Benefits of earplugs for tinnitus sufferers
Tinnitus can be caused by several things, such as high blood pressure, inner ear disorders, and hearing loss. For some of these conditions, tinnitus is temporary – and once the condition is treated, the tinnitus will go away. But for others, like tinnitus caused by hearing loss, it’s permanent.
The best way of preventing tinnitus in the first place, then, is to protect your ears from hearing damage. And if you already have tinnitus, reducing your exposure to loud noises can stop the condition from getting any worse.
But we don’t recommend that you avoid loud noises completely. That’s no fun, and it can actually make your tinnitus even worse when you are exposed to loud noises.
Instead, protecting your ears with earplugs is the way to go. It’s not recommended that people with tinnitus wear earplugs 24/7. If you’re in a quiet environment with no background noise, you may become more sensitive to sound, which can make your tinnitus worse.
It is, however, recommended that you wear tinnitus earplugs to protect your hearing in noisy environments and stop your condition from getting any worse.
Why Loop Earplugs are the best solution for tinnitus
Traditional foam earplugs block sounds out completely – which isn’t ideal for tinnitus sufferers. Although you want to reduce the intensity of loud noises, the silence created by foam earplugs can actually increase your awareness of the ringing in your ears.
When it comes to earplugs and tinnitus, it’s better to look for ones which filter sound waves rather than block them out – like Loop Experience earplugs. They offer up to 18 decibels (SNR) or 7 dB (NRR) of noise reduction to reduce the intensity of noise, without blocking it out entirely. You’ll still be able to hear perfectly – making them a great choice for concerts, nightclubs and other events – just at a lower volume.
They come with a choice of four ear tip sizes so you can get the perfect fit for you, and the tips are made from super soft silicone for all-day comfort. So now you can get out there and do all the things you love, safe in the knowledge that you’re protected from the risk of hearing loss and tinnitus.
