Festival season is just around the corner — and while you’re planning your outfits, booking tickets, and curating your playlists, don’t forget one of the most important accessories you’ll need: hearing protection.
Why Hearing Protection Is Essential at Festivals
Live music is exhilarating, emotional, and… incredibly loud. The average volume at festivals and gigs often ranges between 100–120 decibels, which can start to damage your hearing in as little as 15 minutes. Over time, this exposure can lead to tinnitus (a persistent ringing or buzzing in your ears) or noise-induced hearing loss — both of which are permanent.
Many well-known musicians and music lovers have learned this the hard way. Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, has spoken openly about his struggle with tinnitus and how he now uses custom earplugs at every performance. Eric Clapton has also suffered from hearing damage due to decades of playing loud music without protection. These artists now champion the importance of hearing care — a message that’s relevant for everyone who enjoys live music, not just the performers.
Enter Snugs ProConcert: High-Fidelity, Custom-Fit Protection
At Snugs, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between protecting your hearing and enjoying amazing sound. Our ProConcert earplugs are designed specifically for music lovers and festival-goers.
Here’s what makes them stand out:
- Attenuated filters: One of the biggest misconceptions about hearing protection is that it “ruins” the music. But that’s simply not true — especially with attenuated filters. Unlike foam plugs that block out sound indiscriminately, attenuated filters reduce sound evenly across all frequencies. That means you can still hear the full mix — vocals, instruments, basslines — just at a safer volume.
- Personalised style: Make them yours! Snugs earplugs are available in a variety of colours to match your festival vibe — from bright neon’s to sleek black.
- Custom-fit comfort: Each pair is moulded to the unique shape of your ears for a fit so comfy, you can wear them all day (and night) without irritation or falling out — even if you have super small ears!
- Reusable and sustainable: Unlike foam plugs, Snugs are built to last. Made from a medical grade silicone, just clean them between uses and enjoy hearing protection gig after gig, festival after festival. Let’s reduce the number of foamy plugs going to landfill!
Listen Smart. Dance Longer.
With Snugs ProConcert, you can feel every beat without risking your hearing. Don’t wait until the ringing won’t go away — protect your ears now and enjoy music for life.
So, as you get festival-ready, pack your tickets, your sunnies, your portable charger… and your Snugs.
