Subj: [kl] Ear plugs
Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 20:42:23 -0400

Please forgive me if this has been brought up recently and I didn't notice
(I've been skimming a lot of mail the past couple months, but more on that in
another post! :)

As my summer season starts, I'm thinking about getting some good ear plugs.
(Some band jobs get loud.) A colleague recently got the kind where you can
adjust the decibels you block out. It's also not supposed to distort the
sound like the cheapo foam plugs do. They're fitted to your ear.

Anybody got these? I'm thinking that seventy bucks is a small price to pay
for saving a little of my hearing. (Gave myself a headache with Daphnis on
Eb last night and I'm thinking this can't be good over time. My former
teacher practiced Eb four hours a day for about four years (no exaggeration)
and has lost a LOT of hearing.)
