Partnership between Vibes and Hear The World Foundation

By promoting Hi-Fidelity ear plugs at live music venues and festivals, Vibes also wants to raise awareness for hearing health and the importance of good hearing with the general public. The volume of live music at concerts and festivals is a growing problem which can lead to serious hearing damage – often irreversible. This has been verified in a recent report from the WHO, which estimates that 440 million people worldwide are subjecting themselves to volumes of live music which can lead to hearing loss.

In the interest of hearing health, Vibes will contribute part of its revenues to the work of the Hear the World Foundation. “We are so impressed by the work of the Hear the World Foundation worldwide and their commitment to making a sustainable difference in the communities they serve.” says Jackson Mann, Vibes Founder. “It is the perfect virtuous circle for all of us – by protecting your own hearing with Vibes, you are given the opportunity to provide someone else with the gift of hearing – possibly for the first time.”

“Vibes provides a very real solution to the dilemma faced by those who want a powerful concert experience but also can no longer tolerate the negative effect on their hearing that often results. The use of these products will improve the concert experience while protecting the precious sense of hearing and helping those in need – so it’s a perfect partnership”, Elena Torresani, Head of Hear the World Initiative adds.

The Foundation has supported over 70 projects on 5 continents so far. It has a special focus on projects that support children in reaching their development milestones and realizing their full potential in life regardless of their hearing loss. The charitable Hear the World Foundation has been founded in 2006 by Swiss hearing aid manufacturer Sonova. Vibes will feature the work of the Hear the World Foundation in its promotional activities.
