1. Loud music relieves stress

The sacculus (pronounced assack-you-less) can be found in the inner ear. It’s special because it has direct connections to pleasure centers in the brain. It releases endorphins when stimulated by loud music, so listening to loud music is essentially self-medicating.

2. A song sounds better when it’s played loud

Simply put, when playing loud music, the details become easier to pick up.

3. Music invokes emotions

4. (Loud) music blocks out the world

5. Loud music is a stimulant

Just like almost everything, too much of a good thing can be dangerous. Loud music gives you a dopamine hit, so it can be good for the brain – but it can be bad for your ears. It’s not just the loudness of sounds that can cause hearing damage, but also how long you’re exposed to the sound for.

And if you love attending festivals, concerts and other live music events? Well, it’s important to protect your ears so you can keep enjoying music. The best way to do that? Earplugs.

When you wear earplugs that are specifically designed for concerts, like the Loop Experience Plus, you’ll get the full experience of loud and clear music.
