Kudos Luke, for talking about such an important and such personal topic! It is incredible how many professionals have their monitors on stage and in the studio so so so loud, and endanger their most important organ every day like that!
I wear 15dB plugs every time I go out to a club and every time I play. In my opinion it’s good practice to put the earplugs in before going to the club, maybe already in your drive to the venue, so ears will be nicely adjusted before you go in, so you hear the music and people talking nicely. Also you only take the plugs out in a quiet place during the night or preferably only once outside of the venue to avoid your ears being exposed to really loud levels suddenly unprotected.
One upside to DJing with earplugs in and then headphones on top of them is that your signal to noise ratio inside the headphones is better, so you hear your own mixing in the headphones a lot better than you would without earplugs, because you can turn the headphone output a little louder.
Having tinnitus for most of my life now.
I can say you, don't underestimate how fucked up it is to never in your life hear silent again. Even worse, you need something that gives sound near you at night to focus on.
If you are starting to focus on your ringing it gets so loud that it literally starts to hurt your ear.
There is a reason why a lot of tinnitus patients consider suicide.
Don't joke around with loud sound.
I have to keep up to a really tight sleeping schedule and diet to keep it to a minimum.
Everything I do it feels like it makes it worse. Such as working out, not working out. Having people in the room etc.
My doctor told me that most people that have it loud enough to get it checked out will eventually go through the legal assisted suicide just in case it gets bad enough (or already is.)
Seriously, don't fuck around no matter how uncool people think you are.
Wow the biggest meme in music industry himself, SANDSTORM
@@annekedebruyn7797 fucking a
@@annekedebruyn7797 this is a horrible comment that will scare people. I have very loud tinnitus that I have habituated to. I can hear it over everything. What you said about assisted suicide is total nonsense.
Habituation is a real process that you can go through to adjust and filter out your tinnitus sounds for much of the day. Studies have shown over and over that the loudness of your tinnitus has no relation to habituation. Studies have also shown that there is no definitive correlation between tinnitus and suicide.
In fact the overwhelming majority of people habituate and it’s folks with previous mental health issues that become bothered by their T. Like myself. I did a CBT program for tinnitus to help me begin to habituate.
For anyone reading please do not listen to the comment above and do not ever go on tinnitus talks. You CAN habitUate to any tinnitus loudness and sound. Please do not listen to disinformation.
@@cityraintunes Disinformation?
If anything, you are representing my comment in a very dishonest manor.
I have not stating that many people suicide for it.
I said many people with 'severe' tinnitus may consider it.
Somehow I doubt that your studies include people whom are talking about it with their respected doctor?
Not everyone has the same 'form' of tinnitus.
It's a very real thing and yes, some countries allow assisted suicide for it.
The reason my doctor told me is because I have it severe enough and no, I didn't get used to the sound.
Even with a new tryout a university in The Netherlands is doing where they tune to your frequencies (which was nearly impossible for me because I lost so many, I mainly hear loud white noise with a few high frequencies peak) and play that for a few months nonstop over headphones.
And people should rightfully get scared for it if they can avoid it.
This video isn't about a bit of tinnitus due to old age or tumors.
This is about SELF-induced tinnitus.
Sure my and other cases might be the worst of the worst and sure, the majority of people won't get it as far. But that doesn't revoke my right to tell my story and that you are calling it miss information is kind of dreadful to do.
If you read studies deep enough, you'd realize (and many specialized doctors will tell you) that still not much is known about all sorts of phantom pains.
Like I said, the treatment I had might have worked for others. But certainly not anyone.
I am not earning anything with my tinnitus so I am not sure why you would act so hostile.
Much like how our eyes adjust to low light and we can see in the dark after a period of time I find my ears do the same thing to audio. If the monitors/headphones are kept low my ears compensate very quickly. Its good for those long sessions so you dont get "ear fatigue"
SadowickProduction This actually doesn't minimize injury, it actually endangers you even more since you can't feel when it's to loud for your ears.
BatmanButz Oh yes, my bad. Sorry!
Yes indeed, but you need to be aware that when wearing good earplugs to protect your ears and your ears get used to that protective level, it’s very dangerous take those plugs out of your ears, say, in the middle of the dance floor when the sound is on full blast, because your ears cannot adjust the other way back quickly either, the ears’ natural protection mechanism is not working at all, and you can really badly damage your ears like that.
Ive worshiped you dude. Seriously, your track changed my life.
Your track sandstorm cured me from cancer and depression
Ok look my hearing was damaged from a Traumatic Brain Injury and lost a major proportion of my hearing in my left ear I know how bad it is to deal with sudden hearing loss. I’m in desperate need of good hearing protection. I just picked up my first set of djing gear the Pioneer Xdj rx2 today!!!! I’m so excited as I love how you touched upon this subject.
Actually the Traumatic brain injury is from a car accident that changed my life I no longer want a 9 to 5 job I want to DJ! Life is too short to not do what you want and I’m taking that leap.
Tinnitus really is a problem and I was wondering how you work around your hearing loss while producing in ranges you can’t necessarily “hear” as well as you can elsewhere.
Anyways I’m entering this contest lol
USA!
"I'm going to tell you some stories about hearing protection" * turn down volume immediately* 😂
Lmao
Shit im in trouble
Best tip I learned from music school to manage hearing fatigue while producing is setting an EQ on your master and cut out the low end at 200hz.
When you need to hear your low end you just disable the EQ. Bass frequencies fatigue your ears the fastest since they're longer in length than higher frequencies.
Thankyou luke a lot because this is only channel who gives proper info about a single thing of EDM
Such a good idea to draw more attention to this issue, I know too many people who are developing Tinnitus now.
Especially because for DJs and producers, your ears are your tools of the trade - the technology is constantly evolving- from vinyl, to CDJs to controllers, Macbooks and Media payers, but if you cant hear accurately then you're screwed!
People who don't have tinnitus will never know how bad it is.
Found out too late about hearing protection. Have tinnitus now (no fun). PROTECT YOUR HEARING! Living room volume for me for a while now. Great subject Luke. Thumbs up! Love the vlogs!
Armando got the same now for over a year, it sucks big time, 24/7 peeeeeeeeeee
Same. Forgot ear plugs walking out the door one of the very few times we've been to a club to see a DJ. Next AM it sounded like metal pots & pans clanking when people talked. Pure hell for months on end. Somewhat used to it / healed now but haven't slept well in 4+ years since it happened because of the constant ringing.
Yeah i had the same problem
one night out at a club shouldnt give u any issues. youll have a bit of ringing the next day but thats about it. if the sound system is good then there usually isnt an issue.
For whoever is interested....whitenoisemarket.com helps me ALOT. FYI, I do not have any stake in this app.
I need hearing protection because from a young baby I had hearing problems, and I sense a difference between the "volumes" of each ear. When I was an 18-year-old raver (i'm 41) I used to love dancing directly in front of the speaker stacks and sometimes even putting my head inside the speaker cone!!! I had many headaches and ringing ears after the raves. If you damage or destroy the micro-hairs inside the ear canal there is no recovery or repair from it. I am currently in Portugal. Love your vlogs Luke, watch the every Friday :)
:Leon :Edwards I’ve crawled inside a bassbin or 2 in my day (were same age now) and while I dont believe to have any hearing damage I know tinnitus is scary n Ive been wearing protection for about 10 years now at any loud event. 🙌🏼
Hey Leon,
You've won! Please send an e-mail to info@unmanageableartists.com with your address info and you will receive your hearing protection!
Thank you, Luke. I watch all your vlogs and saw I had won last week. It is so awesome. Thank you for your message here. Love your positivity. Your videos are brilliant, creative, inspirational and I wish you even more continued success. I look forward to your latest vlog today :)
I could really need the earplugs due to my gigs in the clubs in Berlin, Germany. Thanks and keep it going!
Luke! I've thrown all my life savings (ouch) into heading out to Ibiza for the summer on May 8th, with the plan to rediscover my passion for dance music production after some heavy knockbacks, get back to firing out new songs on a regular basis, and to chase the dream of writing music full time. I'm even getting the kit to do a weekly vlog myself, hopefully to inspire others to do the same.
I need a set of custom hearing aids myself to keep myself safe in the clubs, I can only imagine it would be hard to write music and edit vlogs with tinnitus?
I'm residing in the UK right now, and Ibiza from May - hope to see you out there this summer!
Been wearing earplugs to every single show since I was 18. No matter how big or small the venue is. Six years later my hearing is just as good!
I need earplugs because I'm a music producer and I would like to protect my ears, I won't be able to produce anymore, if I damage my hearing. Croatia
Hey Newtone
You've won! Please send an e-mail to info@unmanageableartists.com with your address info and you will receive your hearing protection!
Thanks for the insight on hearing protection. Love all your vlogs and appreciate the time you're taking to answer peoples questions.
I never really thought about protecting my ears until playing in China a few years ago. The monitors had a ridiculous amount of high end I couldn't hear anything so I stupidly just increased the volume on my in ears without realising the affect it have on me.
The reason why I need in ear protection is because ever since I had that painful mishap happen to me, I have always been scared and VERY conscious of the volume range ensuring it never hits the red especially with the monitors provided by the club...... BUT there's always that club engineer who thinks it's a great idea to peak everything making it hard for me to even hear what is going on in my headphones forcing me to raise the volume.
I'm based in the UK
Thank you so much! I need protection because I'm always at a club doing sound or playing, ( nowhere near on your caliber) and have noticed over the last few months that anytime I'm in a quiet space my ears are constantly ringing! I live in the Unites States, thank you for the opportunity to get some protection! much love and respect!
After 27 years of DJing, My hearing has seen better days. Nowadays I operate with the monitors low or off completely and just go off headphone monitoring at 40%. Great video. USA!!
Yo from England! Don't think I truly understood the idea of how loud volumes of music seriously affects your hearing till I first went to a club in London and came out being practically unable to hear for days! I learnt that for mixing keeping the volume relatively low helped make my ears for sensitive and susceptible to hearing more finer parts of the track I wanted to mix in, thus helping me to have much smoother mixes (plus considering a lot of places you play at can deal with high volumes from speakers it helps rest my ears as well haha). Keep up the good work Luke!
good on you, i cant do that at all... i need to have my music loud. i dont feel like im in the zone unless its bumping. im not pro and not going to be pro anytime soon so im going to enjoy blasting music, you never know when youll die. enjoy it now before you cant!
+du Bb Haha of course man! It's more finding the right balance of the two 😄
Hey Luke! I asked you a question on twitter and I thought you was going to answer it in this vlog, I would love a bit of insight into the situation! 'why do you/djs jam pack their schedules and not take much personal time... relevancy, money or passion? Wondering your take on it' Thanks!
Very well said. I see Luke always having fun while he's touring but it doesn't always seem to be that way with other DJs. You often hear of the 'burnouts' and sometimes I just think why? it's not necessarily a profession which demands such intense dedication so sometimes I think 'Just take the week off with the family'. I'm guessing Luke is just so used to touring around the world that even if he did take a week off he wouldn't know what to do with himself!
Hey Luke,
I work in Las Vegas, NV in the Nightclubs as a VJ. I am constantly listening to super loud music all the time, I actually had some custom ear molds but the last time I went on tour, I lost them, so I’ve been looking for a good pair to replace them.
Keep on rockin I love your sets !
Hallo, I produce music at home and work on to be a DJ in Netherlands . Today I just realised I lost my earplug, I bought it 2016 then I pregnant immediately and couldn't go to club or work so it's not used looong time. and then last year my another daughter who is 3 years old, I thought she was chewing some HARIBO ,but it was my EARPLUG!! by then I lost one of filter. ordered again the filter, then two filters had different db. I ordered one more filter again. I thought it's done the nightmare of earplug. but now my earplug bag is empty. and I am pretty happy to see this now! what an coincident. whether I get the ear plug or not I have to say this. Laidback luke is my real life saver as I get a lot of help by his blog that cheer up all coming DJ's and Producer's. Thank you so much!
Hi Luke, I need hearing protection as I unfortunately have ringing in my ears now from clubbing and Djing for many years,the ringing is only slight at the moment thankfully! With that said i have been a regular clubber, dj for 20 years and now new to producing, I'd like to continue listening to, playing and producing music and would really like a pair of custom ear plugs to prevent further annoying ringing in my ears! 'Im glad a lot of djs are now raising the importance of hearing protection both in the dj booth and on the dancefloor ! Country of residence is the UK. Thanks for all your great tutorials !
Thanks for the wonderful advice. Really appreciate that. The reason to why do i need the plugs is that i m inside a club like almost everyday and at times the djs don't monitor the ref monitor sounds and by the end of the night your start feeling the pain. Post that i m a rider and we do breakfast rides or general rides and must say some exhaust on the bikes really makes u want some and to top it all u can't miss the traffic sound. So just trying to save some for the years to come. Thanks once again from India
Every time I am stuck at making a track, I go to youtube and watches Laidback Luke. Idk why, but he gives me inspiration and keeps my mind cold, so thank you!
Hey Luke! This is Raphael from Hong Kong! I believe hearing protection is a must for any musicians. No matter we make music or go to festival, we want to hear great music with the best quality. So that our ears must be protected always! This is an absolute safe and secure practice. As a DJ and metal guitarist, i used to listen high volume and powerful music. Sometimes i just felt headache and earache, this is the response from our brain warning us to pay attention to our ears. I've noticed that many older musicians have problems with hearing loss, that remind to protect my ears early as i can. I hope i can still listening to great music with healthy ears when i get older. Thanks for the video to remind us how important it is! Cheers~
Hey Luke! As a musician and photographer I tend to be surrounded by noise constantly. Especially when I am shooting musicians and DJs the sound levels can get really high but I haven’t found anything comfortable enough yet that I could wear while working. As a singer my hearing is really important so protecting my ears while I’m at gigs would also be amazing. Had a blast shooting that Toronto show. Have a great one!

For quite some years I never used proper hearing protection while going to parties. When I had the feeling it was too loud, I simply ripped of some paper from a handkerchief and put that in my ear (which - as you can imagine - resulted in dull noise and totally ruined the music experience). When I started using party plugs with filters it suddenly became clear what I had done to my ears the years before. At many night events, the sound system gets turned up increasingly louder because people's ears adapt to the volume pretty quickly. Once you use plugs and put them out just for a moment towards the end of the party, your ears will instantly start to hurt. That's when you realize how loud the sound actually is and that's exactly why I need hearing protection to enjoy the music while making sure that I will be able to enjoy it for many years to go ;).
Greetings from Germany!
Sooooo...the constant ringing in my ears (day and night) isn't age but possibly 25 years of listening to headphone and earbud music at 100+ decibels, Luke? That's a relief! I thought 45 was starting to break down body parts. Guess I could use a pair of those Alpines, here in the USA (Michigan), during my production and mix-down sessions. Crispy highs are soothing.
You can never take too much care of your ears. My dad was born with a hearing problem which makes him only hear 15%. Throughout my life this made me aware of how precious good hearing is and has motivated me to always use ear protection.
OMG!! You even include that amazing moment (8:01) on your Vlog!! 😱😱 So much thanks for the photo
I am an amateur DJ meaning don't get paid for the moment. I feel I need some protection for my ears especially when I play, because I tend to dance up against the speakers when I'm supporting other colleagues. Also I have been going around all my life saying to myself that it's normal to hear a little peep sound in my right ear. This peep sound has prevented me from sleeping after I wisely decided not to wear ear protection for a Steve Angello concert. So please Lucky Luke I want to feel lucky and safe in my ears so I can keep focusing and loving playing your fantastic music! Much Love all the way from Norway! Regards Ole McDuck 🦆
From South Africa. I have just begun DJing and I have always held a firm belief that my hearing and vision are the two most important things that I need to take care of whilst I am still alive. I believe that the hearing protection will help me immensely when I DJ in clubs and at home, too.
Thank you. I actually stopped DJing because I felt like I needed better hearing protection. I have been doing some work on my djing and wanted to get back. This helps.
I'd like the earplugs because I go to quite a few shows and am exposed to very loud sound systems, and I'd like a quality pair of earplugs to last me through festivals and clubs alike so I can save my hearing for smooth mixing and to really appreciate every detail of music. Hearing is also very important to many other aspects of life :) I live in the United States.
Being an aspiring DJ and Producer in Shanghai, I go to many shows to be more involved with the edm and nightlife scene. What really sucks is that I didn't really know how bad it was not having ear protection. Not even reaching my 20s yet, I already have tinnitus. I've learned to be careful when going somewhere with loud music but its been harder to produce and DJ with this constant ringing in my ears. I think it would help me so much if I got these earplugs. Love your videos and I hope you come back to Shanghai in the future!
Hey Luke, Bruno here from Slovenia. When i started Djing i didn't feel the urge to protect my ears, but now after a year and a half i can't get rid of the beep in my ears. I am trying some different ways to make it stop but none of them are efficient. I would really appreciate the earplugs to help me protect my hearing and not worsen it.
P.s. You still the best Dj around with a lot of useful tips and tricks, I wish there were more people like you.
Great vlog, hearing is so important to being a DJ, I have to protect my ears at my day job of being a mechanic and my part time of being a DJ, Its always good to hear from someone DJing all the time and how you can maintain your total health over all those years. USA. Thanks
Although I am not a huge fan of "EDM" you always seem to provide useful information. However, I have heard your underground sets and they are great ! Just started Music College and regularly attending dance events which are taking its toll on my ears. I do not want to end up with tinnitus at a young age ! Manchester, UK
I love the way some producers balance their career and personal life. That is accomplishment by itself.
I love these vlogs!!!! Protect your ears, kids. I started turning my volume down as I approached my 30s because I didn't want to end up deaf like my grandparents who spent whole careers in loud industrial professions. Laidback Luke, you're a beast.
I'am a drummer in a Band but also a DJ with multiple gigs over the year, that's why I know how important protecting your hearing is!
I'd love to getr one !
I live in germany.
Thanks for your content
Hi Luke! Great info. I am entering this contest in Hope's of not being too late. I just found your channel. I need to protect my hearing for several reasons. One reason is because I am new to DJ'ing, (just started in Jan with the purchase of the DDJ-SX2). I am still searching for great headphones and protection and this opportunity is perfect! Secondly, I am the first and only African American female Hurricane Hunter in the US Air Force. I fly on WC-130J airplanes for upwards of 10 hours on missions. It is extremely loud and protecting my hearing is paramount. I am conscious of my hearing at all times. I recently had an incident due to a pressurization issue on the plane and I have eustachian tube dysfunction. I really need to be awarded this hearing protection so that I can continue to serve my country and play great music for the crowd without worrying. Go USA!
Thanks!
I really need the earplugs because I play drums as well as DJ/produce! I think it's the right time to start looking after my ears and making sure they look after me for many years to come! (Australia)
Love the vlogs Luke, tune in every week :)
I've been DJ'n for over 30 years here in Australia. The last 10 years I've tried all sorts of ways to protect my ears. I am my own worst enemy, always wanting to hear the music loud. I've now bought some In-Ear Headphones, and slowly getting used to them. But its so hard with people coming to talk to you, having to pull them out all the time. Its seems about my best option is to use Cotton Wool. But thank you for the advise, I will keep trying the In-Ears, and print a sign to put in the DJ Booth. "LIVING ROOM VOLUME"
As a beginning DJ, I definitely feel like I’m surrounded by loud noises often. These days, I find myself going to clubs or shows more to listen to song choice, vibe, and DJ techniques. Having the earplugs would allow me to continue doing this without worry. Cheers from LA, California
there should be more Dj's like you . There are some good Dj-UA-camrs out there, but a Dj who gives advice about hearing safety, how to mix properly and Doesn't have pre-recorded sets is just great. Keep making those great vlogs Luke!!
Perfect video choice, Luke! Hearing damage is an issue not enough people are concerned with.
I've been working in loud environments (saws, drills, etc.) ever since I was 13 so since then my ears have been super sensitive to loud volumes. Some earplugs could really help in preventing damaging them even further in the clubs.
Kaunas, Lithuania
Thanks for the great videos! I really need a new pair of earplugs. Clubs and festivals always have too loud volumes and I'm the one complaining. Gonna visit Ultra europe again this year and liquicity for the first time so I need to be prepaired. Greetings from Finland :)
Hey DragaFIN!
You've won! Please send an e-mail to info@unmanageableartists.com with your address info and you will receive your hearing protection!
I was just at your show in Toronto!!! My friend and I were the two in front who gave you kandi bracelets! Just started watching your UA-cam channel in the last few months, realized how much of your music I had been listening to all this time, and immediately had to go see you live next chance I had! Laidback Luke rules 🔥
Thank you for this topic. When I watch new dj's jump on at small venues I always see them turn the volume up a bit to try to sound harder and better then the previous DJ. I found if I slowly turn down the volume it draws more people in and onto the dance floor.
I need hearing protection for a list of reasons - I am married, i have 3 kids, i listen to music way to loud, life is loud. After 18 years of DJing its beginning to impact my hearing daily and i could do with some Alpine protection. Living in Northern Ireland and as i type this i can hear the St Patricks day marching bands passing by.
Thanks for all the advice over the months Luke. Congrats on 200K!! LOVE YA!!!!!
The tip at the end was really helpful! Going to be practicing this one in the studio and am really curious if it will help prevent those longer mixing sessions from hitting a wall where you don't want to hear anything for awhile. Perhaps this doubles up as a reason for why I would love to win a set of customs and keep my ears fresh! Either way - thank you for all the tips!
Old school but still hitting the clubs/fests (US), have been trying to protect ears more and more as have been finding I have a bit of loss after all these years. Nothing too crazy but time to start looking after I guess. Would totally dig a pair if not given away already. Good tip about keeping db low for bedroom dj'ing/producing but one step at a time lol
I would love to get a pair of earbuds because i am a dj in Teenager age and i really dont want to ruin my ears..
Greetings from Germany :)
Luke, no doubt you have amazing DJing skills but you have amazing vlogging skills too.. Keep up the great work Sir!!
Hello from Curaçao! I DJ on the beach for hours on end and its all about protecting my hearing....so yes Luke, I need a set of excellent earplugs from Alpine!
Hi Luke..Justin from Malta EU..
I have tinnitus and i lost some highs and mids in my left ears..i have been djing 16 years now and i am very conscious about my hearing.. thank you for such important tips bro appreciated hope to see you back in Malta
I love this GUY! You are so COMPLETE person!
Thanks Luke! Also wear earing protection for 15 years and using earplugs. Good for me that my neighbours don’t want loud music out of my house. Good tip to down the volume while producing 😃🎶
Thanks Luke for all the useful information! Your vlogs are informative and fun at the same time!
I've been DJ'ing for 11 years now and have also been interested in earplugs but never got around to getting some. This was quite insightful! Would love to have a pair of earplugs for myself to try some out at gigs!
Much love from Montreal, Canada!
Hey Laidback Luke. I asked about hearing protection two months ago on your 7 ways to really make it vlog! Thank you so much for doing this. I need hearing protection because I have hearing issues such as tinnitus and I'm less than 30 years old! I had to go to an Ear Nose Throat specialist multiple times and even had to get an MRI to make sure I didn't have a brain tumor. I especially need hearing protection because I still love to go out and listen to music, but unfortunately I can't turn the music down when I'm at a concert, club, or festival! My country of origin is the United States and while I hope you pick me, I again really appreciate you getting the awareness out there for others!
I need those earplugs cuz i am a young DJ, i am so passionate but i don't want to damage my ears. I am quite afraid of that. I am from Romania. I wanna say i really appreciate what you do. I learned a lot of technique from your vlog. Thanks 😉
this is awesome vlog Laidback Luke. hope to see you here in the Philippines soon. 😉 much love. 💚
Hi Luke from France !! Really helpful blog as usual ;) I am starting to mix more and more in small parties and my ears always ring the next morning. My headphones don't have a nice noise isolation... I have a friend who has tinnitus and he tells me it drives him crazy !! Sometimes he can't even sleep properly. I need hearing protection to avoid tinnitus and to be able to enjoy my passion for DJing for a few more years !!
Hi Luke,
i really appreciate this vlog since hearing protection does play a huge role to me. No matter if I am dj:ing at home or if am at a club, the bleeping in my ears after a loud session at some point told me that i had to change something.
Unfortunatley, even those 30€ hearing protection distort the sound that much that i catch my self over and over again taking them out to enjoy the full, clear sound.
So big thumbs up that you encourage people to protect their hearing!
I would love to try those custom Alpine earplugs as i expect them to deliver a lowerd but still much more clear sound.
Greetings from Germany :Y
hi i am from Austria,
a few years ago i was going a lot to clubs and i never used ear production and mostly after the party my ears got crushed and somtimes on the next day i wasn't able to hear as good as usual, i know how that feels, its not that nice .. and 1 and a half years ago i started as a dj too and when i play in clubs i want to protect my ears too.
thousand thanks for the vlogs and for such interesting topics in nearly every vlog ;)
Hey luke! Dutchy from The Netherlands here! I absolutely need protection because i'm going to parties and festivals more often such as koningsdag and it does get too loud for me! I'm sensitive for it since I'm involved with music since i was 5 and my ears are everything to me!
Hey Daniel! You've won!
Please send an e-mail to: info@unmanageableartists.com and you will be set up to get your custom earplugs measured!
Laidback Luke thank you so much Luke! Means a lot to me!
I am an aspiring Lighting Designer and Live Sound Engineer studying Live Events Production at Backstage Academy, and hearing protection would allow me to wear comfortable protection whilst doing lighting for festivals all over the world! Kent, UK appreciate your work Luke :)
Hi Luke, should already have had them, playing gigs every weekend without protection using a sticky headphone and depent on a monitor to beatmatch..find myself having the booth volume always way higher then at the start of my set..would love to get my hands on an Alpine set..
Nice new intro! Wish I'd heard about your Kung Fu seminar earlier. I'll be playing Ultra on Friday...hope we get to connect my friend. Freaking love all the helpful videos you put out.
You are so dope luke your sets are always legendary
Yes Chris Lord-Alge (master mixer) recommends you mix at "Barely" a volume that way you can hear everything and not tire your ears out.
Hey Luke! Thanks for the awesome video on such an important topic! I live in the USA, specifically in Tampa, FL and the EDM scene here is awesome! But the audio techs here BLAST the dB’s through the roof! I’d love to keep my hearing long term so I can make music throughout my later stages in life!
I need hearing protection cus I honestly have this constant ringing in my ear from not using anything for the past year. It's incredible how little we learn about protecting from going to shows, whether it be every other week or a 3 day festival of loud music. It'd be great to have some quality protection when I go to anything :) even to just a regular concert.
Nice Vlog! I really enjoy all your videos. Can u make a vlog about differences of mixing in headphones and monitors? Some thoughts on how to make the home studio (some tips and so on)...
I have loved audio for a long time. Installing it, creating it, listening to it. But from time to time, I have to remind myself that being in the club and pushing my ears to those limits would put me in a bad spot. Sometimes I hear ringing all day and get headaches and make the foolish mistake of pushing through it and jamming to music. I could use a pair of custom earplugs badly to let me continue to love dance music for my whole life. :) USA 🇺🇲 Keep on posting Luke. Each day I learn a bit more from you or fellow djs.
My first comment on your channel and it goes without saying, the drops we AWEsome along with AWEsome content.
I have slight tinnitus but still love going to shows. New ear plugs would be fantastic.
Im in the USA.
Just got hands on Shure Se846. Game changer!!
I have been looking for the right ear plugs but never have found any till now. I am a 19 year old DJ playing in a club 2 times a week and they would really help save my ears. Living in Canada and I am a big fan of you!
Hey Luke, first time writing on your videos. I think you need to protect your ears mostly because of people around you. As you cant hear the sound well in a normal volume, each time you would take it higher and higher, causing other people to be annoyed with the sounds at your house, work, school, etc. Support from Mexico!!!
This topic isn't covered nearly as much as it should be! Thanks for helping to spread this message, if you can save one person from damaging their hearing then more power to you !
For all those shows and festival would be great to have a pair of these !!! Sending massive love from Quebec canada :)
I often do gigs at small parties but i never thought of protecting my ears...till now, thanks as always for your videos! I'm from Italy!
Good advice for starting Dj's thanks Luke ! Nice vlog too
Hi! I am Arman from Indonesia.I watched your show at Djakarta Warehouse Project 2014 at Jakarta, Indonesia, what an intimate show! So i am a producer and a dj as well who frequently come to the big festival to see and hear tune from other DJ or DJ/Producer. And I think the important thing when you come to the big festival is to protect your hearing by using an earplug. My friend had a tinnitus once, and he said that is no good for his career as a dj and producer. Ya, I think thats a wrap! Cheers!
Great advice. I try to protect my ears always that is possible and set the volume as minimal it is possible to hear. To do my mix I close my eyes and get concentrate more than usual. Today, some visual aids help to not depending all the time of loud volumes, but just get loud enough to get a good mix.
I would really appreciate those earplugs because on my first rave that I went to, I ended up getting tinnitus. :( I love going to festivals and sometimes I can't go because of my hearing problems. I'm from Los Angeles, California and the raves here never end !
same here. it sucks so badly that some people go to clubs repeatedly and don't get it while for others one trip to disco is enough to ruin the rest of their lives...
Hello from Germany,
nice to see you talking about this important subject Luke. :)
Hearing protection is very important for me, because I work as an Aircraft Technician everyday at a loud Environment on the Airport.
I need a new Pair of Earplugs, because my old one‘s are broken.
Thanks. :)
Yo Laidback Luke I wanna thank you for the videos you do. You show us whats is like on the road for DJ's man I hope to be able to do that things you do one day soon. Im still learning so I hope to meet you one day.
I'll have my first real gig in august at the Nature One camping grounds. Wanted to get custom made ear protection anyway and it would be great to safe some money that I could spend on buying tracks for my sets. Greetings from Germany
Canada, Calgary - I could use hearing protection because I don't have any. I don't know enough about the subject and would love to learn more about it! But more importantly, I would like to protect my ears especially when I'm walking into a club about to perform or just going out to a concert with my friends! :)
First of all, your vlogs are perfect, you show us how djs life is and help us with tips and tricks for young artists to get recognized by others. Thank you for that ! I would need those earplugs cuz I'm starting to dj more often and still want to have perfect hearing when producing too, cheers from Slovenia 😉😀
Missed you a lot a couple of weeks ago in London! No problem, can’t wait to see you at Tomorrowland and Creamfields again. I would love to get the earplugs because I enjoy going to festivals and clubs and those would really be a good addition to my festivals gear. Love from London😊
I love how informative your vlogs are, keep up all of the amazing work sir! 👌🔥
I am a small producer who is just doing this for a hobby (im 14 so im stuck in school) and i have permanent hearing damage since i was born and i have to use hearing aids on a daily base. Producing music isn´t actually hard for me since i can still hear it.
reading the description: I live in holland and i want these earplugs so i can try and not damage my ears any worse. My friends always tell me that they would never be able to live with what i have, even tho i dont even have it that bad.
I need Alpine's hearing protection because every party I play, people always want the volume up more & more throughout the night! The current plugs I have have, have worn out a lot, and the filter sticks out too far making it very uncomfortable for my headphones. I also am always looking for a more comfortable/ ergonomic ear protection solution, as I am also frequently helping out the elderly around my neighbourhood and mowing their lawns for them (obviously not as loud as a club scenario), which can still damage hearing with prolonged exposure. The gift of hearing is not one to take for granted. Country of residence: Australia
I seriously love ear protection. I have been an adamant user of earplugs since I started producing and wish i had started using them way before. I am trying to maintain my hearing as long as possible, so I can continue making sick beats and would love some top-tier ear protection!!! IN Atlanta GEORGIA USA
Can’t stop listening to your new track with Steve aoki 🙌Bless up🙏
Thanks for this VLOG. I would love a set of Alpine ear protection because when I am at a gig or festival I am always at the front! DJing for 18 years probably hasn't helped my ears either. Bristol, UK.
