TL;DR: Protect your hearing with EARTUNE LIVE U Universal-Fit musician/concert ear plugs for $20.99, a 16% savings as of March 15. 

We live in a noisy planet, y’all. From the bustling city streets to the endless construction outside your window, there are tons of daily decibel-pounding situations that are bound to make your ears ring. But nothing is quite as loud as live music, which clocks in at around 100 decibels (at the back of the venue). Anything above 85 decibels has the potential to damage your hearing, so concerts are bad news for your ears. If you’re a musician, it’s even worse.

Since none of us are going to just quit going to concerts, it’d be smart if we did something to protect our precious hearing organs, yeah? Enter the EARTUNE LIVE U Ear Plugs. Before you dismiss them for being nerdy, hear us out.

These universal-fit earplugs not only protect your hearing at concerts, but they also filter out noise to make the music actually sound better. In technical terms, they have a proprietary acoustic filter that’s tuned to reduce volume, yet maintain sound quality across the frequency spectrum that matters to musicians and concert-goers. In layman’s terms, that just means they keep the harsh sounds out and the good sounds in.

As they’re fairly new, there aren’t many reviews yet. But the ones there are all positive, with one user saying they helped “reduce the sound without muddying it up.” Plus, it definitely helps that they’re hypoallergenic, non-toxic silicone, and are made to fit anyone.

Usually they cost $25, but you can slash a few bucks off and get a pair on sale for $21.
