During Amsterdam Dance Event 2025, Amsterdam once again becomes the epicenter of electronic music. With over 500,000 visitors, countless parties, and endless sound, ADE is an experience you feel in your bones - and unfortunately, also in your eardrums.

How to Enjoy ADE Without Damaging Your Hearing

How can you fully enjoy the ADE beats without getting exhausted or ending the party with a ringing in your ears? You want to feel the bass, not the ringing after. That’s where custom earplugs come in - designed to give you full music experience without the harmful volume.

At the Earproof Pop-Up Gallery at ADE, you can get started by taking ear impressions for custom earplugs, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit made just for your ears.

What actually works?

Good hearing protection starts with the right fit. Custom earplugs are different: they’re not off-the-shelf, they are specifically for your ears. During the ear impression measurement, a hearing specialist makes a precise mold of your ear canal. This ensures the earplugs fit perfectly, without pressure or irritation.

The real difference lies in how they filter sound. Instead of muffling everything, they block harmful noise levels while keeping the details of electronic music crystal clear, so you never miss a beat of ADE.

Exposed to loud music regularly? DJs, producers, festivalgoers: protect your ears - without losing sound quality or experience.
