I Love My Ears
ADE teams up with Doppies by I Love My Ears to raise awareness about ear protection during this year's Festival. Artists like Ray Fuego, Cynthia Spiering, Laura van Dam, and Tjade will share their personal stories, with support from the Night Mayor of Amsterdam, to highlight why protecting your ears is important to enjoy music to the fullest and in the long run. Read more on that below.
Protect your hearing at ADE with I Love My Ears
Most of us know that lingering buzz in our ears even after leaving the dance floor — a clear sign that our ears need protection. At massive music events, sound levels often soar around 100 dB, putting your hearing at risk. Did you know that while we all love the bass, just 15 minutes of high-volume exposure can lead to hearing damage? The longer you're exposed to amplified music, the more likely it is to cause long-term damage. That’s why it’s smart to wear earplugs with music filters. Not only do they protect your hearing, but they also let you hear the music clearly, chat with friends, and feel less tired afterwards.

Why earplugs should be in your festival kit
While the ringing in the ears may be temporary, the real concern is that hearing loss occurs gradually, so you may not notice it right away — but trust us, your ears will thank you later. Shockingly, about 30% of festival attendees still don’t wear earplugs with music filters, diminishing their ability to hear with every beat.
Earplugs let you enjoy all the music without sacrificing your hearing over the years.
The best part? Earplugs are better than what they used to be. Gone are the days of muffled tunes — modern earplugs, especially the high-fidelity ones, filter harmful frequencies while keeping the sound crisp and clear. You’ll still catch every beat, every lyric, every drop, but with your ears safely in check for the long run.
What Type of Earplugs Are Best for ADE?
If you're serious about both music and your hearing, it's worth investing in reusable, high-fidelity earplugs with music filters. These are specifically designed for festivals and live music events, lowering decibel levels without distorting the high tones or bass. They’re customisable too! You can choose the filter that suits your listening preference, allowing you to adjust how much sound is reduced while keeping the music crisp and clear. Bonus: you can keep them for future gigs and festivals, so it's a win for both your ears and your wallet!
Cynthia Spiering: "One of the most important things I’ve learned over the years is that you really need to protect your ears. That's why I always wear earplugs, no matter where I’m playing. That way, I never have to worry about it."
