hearing protection?
Any recommendations for a really good set of (full-frequency) earplugs for use at loud concerts?
I'm going to see Robin Trower in a couple weeks and I'd like to enjoy that cranked vibe-into-marshall goodness without making my ears ring more than they already do.
Thanks...
Mike

I use Musician's Earplugs. You can change the buttons for different level of sound reduction. I got ER-15 and ER-25 buttons (15 and 25dB of reduction respectively). It's pretty good but it's like making love with a condom: it's more fun without but it's safer to wear one.
Here's some informations about earplugs:

Any audiologist will tell you that's almost useless. Furthermore, it sounds and looks bad.Guitar-Sam wrote:A good ole wad of TP from the men's room works for me when a band is stupid loud.
From http://www.hearnet.com/at_risk/risk_at_risk.shtml : '...cotton and tissue are useless. They only reduce sound by less than 7 dB.'

Yup, been there, done that... front row, YJM '88 - TP did very little to attenuate the onslaught from that Marshall backline.mayrandp wrote:Any audiologist will tell you that's almost useless.
