Re: Band; Who sits behind you

French horns behind you - no problem.
French horns in front of you - problem.
Trumpets behind you - big problem.
French horns in front of you and trumpets behind you - bigger problem.
Strong trombone section behind you - biggest problem.

I use ear plugs molded to fit my ear by an audiologist who also plays in a band with me. They have inserts to set the attenuation; I use 15db. (She also provides my hearing aids; the ear plugs came after the horns in front, trumpets behind.)

If the heavy brass is off to one side behind me, I usually use an ear plug only on that side.

I have observed others using foam disposible plugs from the drug store. Often they are inserted loosely in each ear to adjust their attenuation.
