It started with a Facebook article that made me stop scrolling. "Permanent hearing damage in teens after just one loud concert?" At first I thought it was typical social media fear-mongering. Then I remembered my dad - after years working with heavy machinery, he now sits confused at family dinners, constantly asking us to repeat ourselves.
That's when it hit me. My teenager was hitting up concerts almost weekly, each one probably as loud as those machines that destroyed my dad's hearing.
Of course, suggesting earplugs went exactly how you'd expect: "Mom, I'm not wearing those dorky orange things. Like, ever." I got it - nobody wants to be that one person wearing construction-site plugs at a Travis Scott concert.
But after learning that one loud show can cause lifelong ringing that never stops, I had to find something better. Then I discovered what changed everything. These weren't your hardware store earplugs, and my teen actually thought they looked cool.
Luckily enough I found Hears - the solution that prevents hearing loss for people who go to concerts. Two months in, and my kid hasn't left for a single concert without them.
Here are 5 reasons why these earplugs are worth every penny:
1. Keeps me safe from hearing loss whenever I go out
Hears Earplugs reduce decibel exposure by 20 dB, allowing my teen to still hear his friends, keeping the music crystal clear, and minimizing the risk of hearing loss. By lowering the sound from an average of 100 dB to 80 dB (the sound of a vacuum cleaner), these earplugs significantly reduce the risk of hearing loss.
This way, he can enjoy his surroundings without compromising his ear safety. Given the many stories of young people needing hearing aids, using these earplugs seems like a pretty straightforward decision to me.

2. Hear Earplugs are a great conversation starter
Whenever my teen wears Hears Earplugs, everyone notices and compliments them. The stylish design, including the metal and colorful details, grabs attention and starts conversations with almost everyone. Whether it’s young or old people, staff members, or even DJs, they all ask where he got them from, leading to interesting and engaging discussions that never would have happened otherwise.
Not only do these earplugs keep him safe, but they also help him make new friends. How cool is that?
3. All day comfort. My teen literally forgot he's wearing these!
When I was searching for earplugs, the comfort of my teen was one of my top priorities. I recall using cheap earplugs I got on an airplane, but they were unwearable. They kept falling out every few minutes, looked unappealing, and were constantly uncomfortable. Wearing them was almost painful.
However, when I tried the Hears earplugs, it was a completely different experience, and I knew they'd be perfect for my teen. He forgot he was even wearing them when he came home! One of the standout features was the availability of four different sizes for the inner silicone tips, which allowed me to find the perfect fit for both of us in just a few seconds.

4. Thousands of positive reviews
Hears has a ton of positive reviews, and whenever I suggest them to my friends, they can’t go to a concert or a club without Hears anymore. I also started noticing a lot of people wearing them whenever they want to focus in the office or reduce noise while riding the metro - it’s like a cult now. The price-to-value ratio is highly favorable so it makes a total sense why.
5. 100 Day Trial
I had nothing to lose, only to gain with Hears. Like my teen and hundreds of thousands of people around the world. This company is so confident you will love them, that if you're unsatisfied with their style, feeling, comfort or hearing loss prevention, you can return them in 100 days, no questions asked.
To be completely honest, this 100 day trial totally got me when I was on the lookout for fashionable, comfortable and high quality earplugs for my teen, and now after a few months of him using them, the only thing I’m considering is getting some more colors, rather than this money-back!
Summary:
Hears Earplugs are one of those things that are not only fun, enjoyable and comfortable but also healthy for you. Having had a few bad experiences with earplugs before, I can assure everyone that Hears is the best possible solution out there. You will keep your ears safe, feel comfortable, hear everything crystal clear and if there’s any chance you will not love them enough, you will get your money back. I can’t recommend them enough.
Hearing is what connects us humans. Don’t lose it.

I previously used other earplugs, and I really liked them. However, when I tried Hears, they're a whole other level. More noise reduction, a much more pleasant frequency curve. Also the sized ear tips really allow me to get the right fit. I can hear conversations in loud environments very comfortably.

AMAZING!
I use them during djset and the result is amazing! Noise reduction but i’m still focused.
They’re so comfy and I use them even at work.
One of the best purchase i’ve ever made.

They fit like a glove. Protection is fantastic and bass sounds are still amazing!!!
Love them, cherish them.

I’m so impressed with these earplugs! The sound is still rich, and they’re so comfortable to wear for long periods. They’re perfect for anyone who loves live music but wants to protect their hearing.

Better than my expectations!
Was trying to remain neutral in the picking of the company and the product. Some of us are new to any ear bud for music or noise reduction. I also didn’t expect to find a pair small enough for my ear canal. Wow you got me. Two out of two.

It actually works
I fear no decibels now, I'm actually enjoying the music and I can hear people through the Hears. Goodbye ear ringing. Thanks to the team and hope the product keeps improving

Best of the best! A promise delivered!! After several disappointing purchases of specialty earplugs to use on my motorcycle I finally found Hears. A whole new world opened! This is a best of the best product. I now use them on several different settings and they never let me down! Finally a product the delivers on the promise!!

Excellent and comfortable too!
We wore them on the plane and also at the festival. Excellent sound dampening without loss of clarity. I have tinnitus and huge loudspeakers can make it worse but these plugs worked a treat. Thank you. Highly recommended!

Great to receive 4 different bud sizes to get best fit. Ive had some plugs before and most fall off, these stay in place.
