Re: Earplugs

I use custom moulded plugs that were suggested by my ENT doctor 15 years ago.

When I played sax and clarinet in a big band, with brass behind me, they were helpful. When the vocalist cranked up her amplifier to a painful level, they were indispensable.

I retired from the band 7 years ago but still find the plugs very useful when I'm cutting the grass, vacuuming the floors in my house, or staying at resorts that don't understand the dangers (including, I understand, potentially collapsed lungs) of very loud music.

At almost 75, I credit them with preserving my reasonably good hearing. They were a good investment.
