Eargasm’s High Fidelity Earplugs come with an expected noise reduction rate of 21 dB (decibels) and a NRR of 16 dB. The clear material helps make it almost unnoticeable when placed inside of your ears while the built-in pull tab makes it easier to take the earplugs out when you’re done using them.
As you start packing your festival gear and other travel necessities, you’ll want to make sure Eargasm’s earplugs are one of the things stocked in your luggage.
Do Earplugs Actually Work At Concerts?
If you’ve ever left a concert or music festival with ringing ears, then you’ve probably experience Tinnitus, which is described by the Iowa Carver College of Medicine as the “perception of sound in the absence of it (such as whistling, buzzing or roaring sounds within the ear or head).” This is just one of the symptoms from music induced hearing loss, which occurs when you’re exposed to high volumes of noise.
Concert earplugs work to minimize hearing damage by muffling sounds and reducing the noise, so your ear cannel doesn’t experience it at full force.

Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2024 are still available at VividSeats, Seatgeek and StubHub. Ticket packages on resale sites start at $382 and you can choose from three-day passes to single-day tickets as well as VIP packages. Learn more about the festival including its lineup and tickets here.

Dazzling in a white denim outfit, the Argentine star — who took the place of Peso Pluma after the Mexican artist canceled — opened her performance with the furious thump of “Perreo Furioso,” backed by a rock band consisting of a bassist, guitarist, drummer and keyboardist, and an Argentine trap beat. She then ignited the vibe with an invigorating cumbia, “El Amor de Mi Vida,” which she originally recorded with Los Ángeles Azules. For more than an hour, she ran through hits including “Corazón Vacío”, “Ojalá” and “Piscina.”
Later, she received sunflowers from fans as well as Silver and Gold Gaviotas, the event’s top award, which she dedicated to her parents. “Thank you so much, really. What an honor to receive this,” she added.

The atmosphere became more serious when the Argentine singer read an emotional letter she wrote in response to the recent fires that affected the Valparaíso region.
“I want to take a moment to remember that all of us here have taken the commitment to help Viña rise again, after the tremendous tragedy they had to face. I witnessed the burning hills that showed in the marks of the fire, that less than a month ago, there were houses there. I listened with great fear to the story of a mother pulling her little child out of the fire,” she read.
She continued, “I was moved by the story of the female doctors from the small health clinic who climbed the hill beyond what we saw … It’s very sad to see how the fire swept away years of work. Life projects, memories, and above all, the more than 100 people who lost their lives. That’s why, today, I want to ask for a big round of applause for health workers, police officers, volunteers and firefighters. And to all of Chile, I want to tell you that my heart is with you. Our hearts are with every person who today is defying fate.”
Becerra, 24, was honored as a “Visionary” at the inaugural Billboard 2023 Latin Women in Music gala.
Following the performance by La Nena de Argentina, rapper Trueno — featured on Billboard’s list of the 50 most essential Spanish-language rappers of all time — took the stage to close out the event. Armed with intoxicating bars, the wordsmith opened with “Hoop Hoop” and continued the night with “Trueno: Bzrp Freestyle Sessions, Vol. 6,” “Buenos Aires en Llamas” and “Freestyle” before closing with “Dance Crip.”
Later in the evening, he also received his Gold Gaviota and Silver Gaviota awards.
The Viña del Mar 2024 Festival kicked off on Feb. 26 with Alejandro Sanz and Manuel Turizo. They were followed by Andrea Bocelli and Miranda! on the 26th, Maná and Men at Work on the 27th, Mora and Anitta on the 29th, and a Chilean night with Los Bunkers and Young Cister on March 1 before closing on Friday.
