In rock bands with horn section, I always wear them.
In wind ensemble, I always wear them.
In pops orchestra, I almost always wear them.
In orchestra, I mark in my music wear to put them in, but spend much of the time with them out.
An audiologist once told me to protect my hearing because once it’s gone, it probably won’t come back. With as many musicians and directors I know who are over 50 and wear hearing aids (or should!), I believe her. ;-)
In rock bands and wind ensemble, I actually find them helpful in being able to hear myself! In orchestra, I use them for loud passages only. I want to be sure I can hear across the ensemble. In wind ensemble, I most immediatelyneed to hear the section around me. In rock bands, everything is blaring through stage wedges or coming in through in-ears.
