Event Description:

The House Institute Foundation partnered with hearing protection company, EarPeace, to give away free high fidelity earplugs to venue staff and concert goers at the Echoplex, a mid-sized concert venue in the heart of Los Angeles in March 3rd. Our staff and the founder of EarPeace interacted with 35 venue staff sharing about the importance of hearing protection and how to properly fit MusicPro earplugs. We also gave away reusable earplugs to 25 concert goers and handed out flyers sharing information about the risk of noise-induced hearing loss and how to protect your hearing.
