Why do singers plug their ears?

The earpieces that singers wear on stage are called ‘in-ear monitors’. They provide the singer with a direct source of sound, protect their hearing and allow them to customize their stage mix. They also allow the singer to listen to things that the audience can’t hear (such as metronomes or backing tracks).

Why singers cover their ears?

Singers sometimes cover one ear to either hear themselves in a noisy environment, focus on their pitch or compensate for equipment failure. They’ll usually cover their right ear, as the left ear is more-attuned to the sound of music.
