Re: Earplugs

In high school, I played a lot of bass clarinet. For some reason many of the larger concert bands always placed the bass/alto clarinets in front of the trumpets. At that age, trumpet players found it funny to purposely blast. I am confident that the hearing loss I am now experiencing has some tie to those years sitting in front of large trumpet sections (likewise, spending years playing in jazz bands, directly in front of those same trumpet players.)

I've tried two different versions of the ear plugs (too late). However, I find they muddy the sound so much that I've had a very difficult time playing whilst wearing them. Would it have been different had I tried the earplugs prior to the hearing loss? Perhaps.
