Musicians practice and perform in a variety of different settings. They are often exposed to high levels of sound for long periods, this is why hearing protection is essential to prevent damage to the ears.

A different amount of protection is required depending on the sound levels musicians encounter, during rehearsals and performances, their roles and location. The attenuations differ in classification, providing either more or less attenuation depending on the prevalent levels of sound.
