Maluma Offers Ear Protection for Children at Concerts

The initiative follows pediatric warnings about hearing damage after his viral reprimand of a mother at a Mexico City concert.

Overview

  • The singer now supplies free earplugs and specialized earmuffs at his shows for parents who bring children under five.
  • The AEP and WHO caution that typical concert volumes above 110 decibels can cause irreversible hearing damage in children within seconds.
  • Experts advise avoiding events with high sound levels for kids under six and recommend measures such as age-appropriate earmuffs, keeping distance from speakers and taking breaks in quieter areas.
  • Argentine artist Cazzu has defended the mother targeted in the viral exchange, emphasizing empathy for varied parental circumstances and childcare challenges.
  • Despite ongoing debate, there have been no reported changes to venue noise policies and Maluma’s Pretty + Dirty World Tour continues as planned.
