What's the best way to protect my hearing on stage?
If you're not ready to explore the world of in-ear monitoring, your best option is the custom fit Westone Style No. 49 Musicians Earplug (also known as the ES49). These earplugs use patented filters, available in three strengths, to adjust the sound level.
But perhaps the best all-around way to protect your hearing is to incorporate in-ear monitors into your stage configuration. With in-ear musicians' monitors, you seal out the stage noise and only let into your earpieces the sound you want, at the level you want. You're in control. For more information, visit the Westone Music Products portion of our website.
Do musicians earplugs work for audience members as well as stage musicians?
Absolutely! Westone Style No. 49 Musicians Earplugs (also known as ES49s) are the ideal type of hearing protection for audience members. We recommend the 15 dB filters. Now you can safely go to concerts for years to come and hear all of it. Want more information about ES49's? Click here.
Can I upgrade my universal monitors to fit like a custom fit pair?
To get the long-wearing comfort of a custom fit with a universal monitor such as our Westone 3, we recommend our Style No. 56 earpieces.
These custom earpieces simply replace the generic foam eartips, but offer comfort and seal that no foam eartip can provide.
