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 is key to safeguarding your long-term hearing health.
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 high-quality hearing protection in noisy environments to shield your ears from harsh volume levels.
How Loop Earplugs provides extra support for people with 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 you can get out there and do all the things you love, with the volume turned down to a level that feels right for you.
Don’t let it hold you back
With the right tinnitus earplugs, you won’t have to let it hold you back anymore.
Imagine being able to enjoy house parties with your friends, and being able to hear them while still wearing earplugs. Or losing yourself in the music at a concert. Or not having to cut a night out short when your friends want to go to a bar.
Imagine being free of the fear of triggers and noises that have been holding you back from living fully.
That’s where high-fidelity earplugs like the Loop Experience Plus can help. They:

Frequently asked questions
Can earplugs block out specific frequencies and sounds that trigger tinnitus?
Loop Experience earplugs don’t block out specific frequencies – but they do reduce the overall volume of noise across a broad range of frequencies, offering up to 18 dB (SNR) of noise reduction.
Are these earplugs suitable for all types of tinnitus, including subjective and objective tinnitus?
There are three main types of tinnitus: subjective, somatic and objective. Our earplugs are suitable for all three types of tinnitus when you’re in particularly loud environments and can help take the edge off while offering great daily support for your hearing health.
Can earplugs be used in both quiet and noisy environments to manage tinnitus?
It’s not recommended that you use tinnitus earplugs in quiet environments, as it can end up making your tinnitus worse. That’s because, when there’s no background noise, you may become more sensitive to sound – meaning that your tinnitus is worse when you are exposed to noise. However, it is highly recommended to wear earplugs to protect your hearing in noisy environments and keep everyday sounds at a comfortable volume.
Can earplugs be used by individuals with hearing loss in addition to tinnitus?
Yes, and protecting your ears in loud environments is highly recommended. Wearing earplugs helps shield your hearing from high-volume exposure, making it easier to manage everyday noise.
