In high school, I took this quite literally in order to protect myself from both
the pics and the drums, who I often had to march next to during their loudest
parts. I used to march around with an earplug in one ear, the heavy-duty type
designed for use with firearms. It protected my ears, and also helped with
tuning, since I could always hear myself very clearly.
