In a progressive move towards making live music events safer and more enjoyable events, House of Blues, a national chain of concert halls and restaurants owned by global entertainment company Live Nation Entertainment, will make Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs available for sale on-site at all of their locations, as well as their online gear shop, to promote awareness of the issue of live entertainment-related hearing loss, which a recent World Health Organization report concluded that 440 million people worldwide are at risk for. Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs, which use acoustical filters to lower decibel levels without altering sound quality or clarity, allow users to be in control of their concert experience, create a more immersive and comfortable environment, free from the distraction of ringing ears, a sign of permanent hearing damage.
