How to Protect Your Hearing at Summer Festivals

As singers and artists are aiming to reach wide audiences, it can be difficult for organisers to set the sound levels at a pitch that will be suitable for every individual. It may be too loud for some festivals goers, yet not loud enough for others so it’s hard to get the balance right.

Although the volume may seem manageable, you should consider that high volumes can cause ear damage and Tinnitus which is a ringing in the ears, making it difficult to sleep and concentrate. This damage can easily be avoided if you take all the necessary precautions.

Here’s some ways that you can protect your hearing when attending a summer festival:

Think about the Sound Levels

If you feel you are standing too close to loud speakers for long periods of time, think about moving away if you know the performance is going to last a long time. The sound equipment is likely to be very high-quality so it’s likely you will still be able to hear it when standing back from the stage.

Find a Solution

Wearing specialist ear plugs can help to reduce the noise, without stopping the sound altogether. Ear defenders can be purchased from many chemists and drug stores and these ear plugs can be especially useful for children experiencing loud noise.

Ear plugs are suitable for all ages and are a discrete way of protecting your hearing from extreme noise levels at festivals and concerts.
