This month, Amnesia is teaming with the award-winning Loop Earplugs to celebrate fifty years of club culture. Together, these giants of clubbing push towards a greater public awareness towards hearing damage and loss, in relation to attending live music events.
The move coincides with the arrival of September, notable for being Ibiza’s most popular for veteran visitors and lifelong clubbers.
Retailing at €39.95, Amnesia Ibiza x Loop Experience Plus pulls together one of electronic music’s most iconic clubs alongside the brand that helped turn hearing protection from an afterthought into a nightlife essential.
The collaboration seeks to make earplugs a desirable, natural part of nightlife behaviour, reflecting a wider shift toward a health-conscious-first approach that doesn’t compromise the audible experience.
Crucially, wearing earplugs only filters out the dangerous levels, delivering crystal clear sound within the safe range. Not only are they stylish and secure, but they come with four interchangeable ear tip sizes, so you can choose the one which best fits you.
They are reusable, easy to clean and are sold inclusive of a convenient keychain-attachable carry case.
Loop is worn by DJs including AMÉMÉ and BLOND:ISH, whilst already having a history of partnering with festivals such as Coachella and Tomorrowland.
As “professional clubbers” (we are paid for our work, after all…) ourselves, we fully back any initiative that encourages increased adoption of hearing protection amongst the clubbing community.
Sadly, it is still a very much misunderstood and underestimated hazard with many of the effects being irreversible.
Although Ibiza Spotlight’s club team all own personal hearing protection, some of us are very much at the stage of damage-limitation rather than prevention. Had we been better informed earlier in our career, we may be telling a different story.
The key takeaway is that you don’t need to suffer like us or anybody else with symptoms of tinnitus (take our word for it, it is no joke).
If you are one of the tens of thousands of lucky ones visiting Ibiza to dance this closing party season, we urge you to take some time to research and invest in adequate hearing protection. You can’t put a price on your hearing.
Amnesia Ibiza x Loop Experience Plus are available to buy at Amnesia’s online and physical on-site store.
