Pearl Jam, MusiCares team up for Hearing Health earplugs

Pearl Jam, Ten Club and MusiCares have teamed up to spread the word on Hearing Health. Fans who visit the MusiCares table at each of Pearl Jam’s U.S. shows on the 2016 Spring Tour can pick up a pair of limited edition PJ X Musicares Earplugs and wear them during the concert.

The initiative encourages fans to protect their hearing and find out more about hearing health and MusiCares. A suggested donation will be requested to receive the limited edition case and pair of earplugs.

“Don’t be careless and lazy at loud rock shows or cranking tunes through an old Walkman like I was thirty years ago (but boy did it all sound good),” Pearl Jam guitarist Jeff Ament states. “Wear hearing protection or you’ll end up with a 1.5k ring in both ears every night when you go to bed or worse when you are trying to enjoy the serene quiet of an empty desert or forest, again like me.”

Fans are also encouraged to take photos while wearing the earplugs and post them on social media using the hashtag #pjcares and tagging @pearljam and @musicares.
