Why You Should Keep a Pair of Earplugs in Your Everyday Carry (EDC) Kit

Earplugs: The Most Underrated EDC Essential

When people think of Everyday Carry (EDC) gear, they often focus on the essentials—wallet, keys, phone, multitools, and maybe a flashlight. But one of the most underrated and valuable additions to any EDC kit is a high-quality pair of earplugs.

Whether you’re navigating noisy commutes, unexpected loud environments, or simply need a moment of focus in a chaotic world, having Spares earplugs in your pocket can be a game-changer. Here’s why they deserve a permanent place in your EDC setup.

Everyday Situations Where Earplugs Make a Difference

👂 Noisy Commutes – Trains, subways, and buses can reach up to 95 dB—enough to cause hearing damage over time.
🎶 Concerts & Events – Protect your hearing while still enjoying live music without distortion.
✈️ Air Travel & Airports – Reduce engine noise and cabin chatter for a more peaceful flight.
🏢 Work & Study – Block out distractions in offices, coworking spaces, and libraries.
🏟️ Sports & Motorsports – Stadiums and racetracks easily exceed 100+ dB—enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
💤 Unexpected Hotel Stays – Block out noise from thin walls, loud neighbors, or street traffic.
🎯 Shooting Ranges – Protect your hearing when exposed to extreme noise levels.

By keeping earplugs in your EDC, you’re always prepared for unexpected loud environments.
