Let’s talk about earplugs. Some hate them, some love them, and most of us know the damage of high sound levels but not the good solutions.

I want to share with you my favorite earplugs by FLARE Audio.

I have been using them for the last eight years, almost the same pair. I lost one about a year ago, so it’s half the original pair. In my opinion, they helped me hear the music I like better when I’m at parties and festivals.

How I see it, as a person, we absorb frequencies from the environment, and in music, when it’s so loud, our tiny voice in the head tries to compete with the sound levels of the music. But when you use earplugs, they put a barrier between the little voice in the head and the music, which helps maintain the voice in a quiet way and give it more space to be. This helps maintain mindfulness and be more free to “fall” into the complexity of the music because the little voice doesn’t try to compete with it.
