Musicians have to stay tuned to headphones day in and day out. Besides, they have to listen to sounds of different frequencies again and again. This increases the chances of them suffering from hearing disorders like tinnitus. It can also make them susceptible to getting super sensitive to certain frequencies. If you don’t want to suffer from any such hearing disorder(s), you must use musicians’ caps and ear muffs to protect your ears when wearing headphones. And this guide will take you through a couple of such products.
However, before you can have a look at such high-quality ear muffs, you must also know what features make an ear muff worth your money. Have a look!
- A good quality ear muff has super soft silicone earpieces that cause no allergy and pain when worn.
- A good quality ear muff offers a snug fit so that it doesn’t get loose despite jaw movement when singing or speaking.
- It should be medical grade silicone that doesn’t shrink with time.
- Most premium quality ear muffs have replaceable cables.
- They should offer up-to 45.5 dB sound isolation for sounds belonging to a particular frequency, and nothing less than 37 dB between the entire 20Hz-20kHz spectrum.
That said, let’s now take you through the two excellent ear muffs that you can buy at the Audiologie Centre West Clinic. Read through to learn more.
