Re: Earplugs for loud band music

I use Etymotic earplugs when necessary. They work very well and comfortably lessen the pain of sitting in front of brass players who are a little over generous with their sound

It takes a bit of getting used to - my clarinet sounds quite loud with them in, and I can hear a lot of air - but that's just the sound transmitted through the bones

I played guitar in pub bands for years and towards the end regularly used earplugs in rehearsals. I used the bog-standard 'travel' earplugs made of foam and they seemed to work well - at least, they stopped the dead-ear ringing that I often got by the end of rehearsals. I wish I'd used them more often
