I already own these (and love them!) for going to concerts. Would they also adequately protect my hearing at a NASCAR race?

I found that "A NASCAR race car is measured to be about 125-130 decibels"....the Hearos earplugs reduce the decibles up to...or down to... 20 decibles, so that would be 105-110 decibles of noisen depending of seating, with the earplugs in. Based on CDC statictics, you could listen to about 91 decibles of noise for about 2 hours, without it starting to impact hearing. So I would recommend buying/using a stronger decible reducing earplug for the NASCAR races... good luck!

Old question, but for NASCAR and other VERY loud events where sound quality isn't as important, like shooting, a plug with a higher NRR is mandated. Like the disposable 32 dB plugs. Get those to preserve your hearing. Get these for concerts.

Yes, I would think so, especially if you have already been using them for concerts. It should help cut down the dull roar of the cars. As the previous reviewer indicated though, even with the earplugs, you should limit your exposure time.

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on. I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

Yes, considering they do not cover your entire ear they do block out a good amount of sound.

In my experience, these are less for totally blocking out noise and more for attenuating / reducing the damage caused by extremely high noise levels. These and earplugs like Downbeats are designed to let a safe level of noise through at concerts. You might be better off looking for something designed to totally block all noise.

Yes. Also, they block out background noise well, so you may be able to hear well even at a low volume.

1. They're comfortable. I've worn them to a number of concerts and have yet to remove them due to discomfort. 2. I have average ears and they fit well. 3. At concerts, I often insert and remove the plugs to see exactly what I'm missing in terms of fidelity and volume. I find that I always end up listening to the songs with them in. 4. Save your ears! Get them!

They would work nice snug fit around head. They last you for about Month before braking just behind ear and sharp plastic will dig in to back of your ear but other then that they sound great.

I use mine for running, biking and cross country skiing with no problems. They fit well under a helmet or watch cap. I live in interior Alaska and have to keep them in a warm place before putting them on as the metal in the frame can give contact frostbite (like a burn blister) if I leave it exposed to outside temps too long and put it straight on. As long as you don't turn the volume up too loud, you should be able to hear cars or other people just fine. It will never be as safe as exercising on the road without them on, but I really enjoy having music or audio books while I exercise.

I bought them for concerts and riding my motorcycle. They the sound in without sounding muffled. For me they do not reduce noise enough for sleeping. I use foam ear plugs for that.

I use them in a boat boat engine room and haven't had trouble listening to music. I can't vouche for how loud that is compared to a NASCAR race but I feel it would be sufficient.
1987358
Yes, I think these would be good for concert. We also use them for bird watching and boating.

I think they would work for the loud noises at a Monster Truck Show. I got them for my autistic granddaughter and they work great to block out most of the intense noises she does not like or is frightened or uncomfortable with.

They won't prevent you from hearing loud noises like say a motorcycle or truck when your out jogging,walking, etc (which may be a good thing) but they do a decent job of letting you hear the music with minimum interference. I think they are worth the price. You can spend more for better earbuds but if your looking for decent sound without high price they are worth the money.

Yes, they are great for running. The sound is perfect. My solitary complaint is that they are a bit too bulky for my ears to hold up. Otherwise they are great

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

that is a big NO! these are highly rated for their isolation from outside surounding noise due to their triple in ear canal silicon seal buds.beware if you are wearing them during driving...you will not hear honks or sirens. I wear these at 100db surroundings and they do much better than my mickey ears.

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.
