Hearing protection for musicians, concert goers, sports shooters and other groups of people

Therefore you should use hearing protection

Whether sudden loud noises or persistent noise - the hearing is strained, possibly even damaged. This can be prevented with suitable hearing protection. It is important that the wearer does not feel disturbed, for example because of a lack of wearing comfort. Or that the rock concert is no longer too loud, but sounds too dull. A hearing care professional will advise you on what types of hearing protection are available and which type is best suited for which purposes. The hearing care professional will also inform you about standard solutions and individually adapted models.

The types of hearing protection - for musicians, hunters, motorcyclists and others

Hearing protection is recommended for these activities and groups of people:

Hearing protection at work: There are legal regulations. If you work at a noisy workplace, hearing protection should be provided by your employer. If you attach particular importance to wearing comfort and fit, a specialist can advise you on the options available.

Hearing protection when flying: When travelling by air, you can use hearing protection to shut yourself off from the noise of the aircraft engines and the background noise in the cabin. Many people also suffer from the difference in pressure during take-off and landing. Good hearing protection can compensate for the pressure difference with special filters.

Hearing protection during DIY: Do you like to do handicrafts in your spare time? Then you know the noise that drills, saws and hammers make. Since even brief exposure to noise, but to which you are repeatedly exposed, can lead to insidious damage to your hearing, hearing protection is important.

Hearing protection at concerts: Many rock bands love it loud, and the noise levels at many concerts are correspondingly high. You want to enjoy the sound without endangering your hearing? Then hearing protection is the right choice. It reduces the volume but doesn't swallow frequencies or make the music sound dull. Hearing protection for musicians should of course do the same. However, since the demands on sound are usually particularly loud in this case, custom-made models are recommended.

Hearing protection for motorcyclists: Anyone who travels by motorbike knows that the roaring engine noise quickly puts a strain on the ears. Hearing protection prevents this. However, it should not suppress noises that signal dangerous situations, such as sirens and horns.
Hearing protection for sports shooters: When firearms are fired, sudden noise levels are generated. In the case of a rifle, this happens even in the immediate vicinity of the ear. To prevent this impulse noise from damaging hearing, shooters on the shooting range should always wear hearing protection. When using hearing protection for hunting, you should bear in mind that it is worn over a longer period of time and should therefore be particularly comfortable.

Hearing protection for the night: Hearing protection keeps out annoying noises so that the wearer can sleep soundly. Since we sleep and rest over a long period of time, it is important that they are comfortable to wear.

Hearing protection for learning: Pupils and students use hearing protection so that they are not distracted while learning. The protection should be particularly comfortable so that it does not disturb concentration by irritating the wearer.

A special feature is individually made swimming protection that is worn when swimming: It should not reduce noise, but prevent water from entering the ear canal. Some people find this unpleasant. However, swimming protection can also be medically required if, for example, one is prone to middle ear infections or if the ENT doctor has inserted a tympanic tube. This type of hearing protection is often bought for children, as they are more likely to suffer from these problems.
