do earplugs limit hearing damage?
One way to achieve that is using earplugs. Earplugs are a popular solution for blocking or lowering the volume of incoming noise and for protecting the ear from dangerous sound environments such as rock concerts or heavy machinery. However, many people use them during the night to help secure a good night sleep. While earplugs are quite useful, their application should be treated with care as they can cause problems including discomfort and inconvenience, and in rare cases, issues such as inner ear infections, tinnitus and hearing loss.
