Protect Your Ears!

DrowningBetty	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 1:47 AM just wondering how many people here use ear protection for rehearsing and gigging. i started getting concious about my hearing with rehearsing with a band etc and looked into ear protection. i came across http://www.earlove.com and found their ear plugs to be really decent Hifi plugs for musicians. unlike foam plugs, earlove's hifi plugs just lower the sound while preserving alot of the hi frequences dropped when you use the stardard foam plugs. they come in alot of colors and are 15dollars for each pair, you just wash them with dish soap when they get dirty. after about 20minutes of rehearsing without them i place them in and its just like i just turned the volume down on everyone, especially the drummer! they take some adjustment if you never used ear protection at all but once you get used to them they work wonders! protect your ears! dont end up like Steve Townsend and have to say WHAT? everytime someone asks you a question!

evansorchid	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 1:57 AM Do you mean Pete Townshend?
Opossum	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 2:03 AM Actually, where I live, people look at you strangely if you ask "What?" You have to say "Pardon?" Otherwise you aren't going. Uh...yeah.
DrowningBetty	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 2:27 AM yes pete, damn for some reason i had steve in my head...yes pete saw a referrence to steve-o earlier think it got burned into my mind.
HenriRoger	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 5:50 AM I do use ear protections now, but it's a bit too late, for rehearsing , gigs ,concerts. Because ringing in my ears , like a permanent blowing treble sound in both ears WILL NEVER STOP now and it's just very tiring , making it hard to sleep well . Important thread Drowningbetty
imemine	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 7:23 AM I thought this was going to be about listening to my music!
evansorchid	Date: December 15, 2006 @ 8:24 AM Yes Ime.... Your material should come with a warning label.
Tallisman	Date: December 16, 2006 @ 10:28 AM Just my luck... the first link works fine from the work computer... a little steamy for the office though! The second link is a no-go here (no flash player, if ya can believe it). I became conscious about ear protection when I got into Mastering audio... the things we hear yet take for granted. Problem is I can seem to hold onto decent ear plugs (or maybe they just keep getting stolen). right now i am resorting to chewing on some TP and stuffing that into my holes! thanks for the earlove!

AceHenshawIII	Date: January 5, 2007 @ 7:52 PM my bad lol. amazing what the difference between a .com and a .net can bring ya! well after 2 weeks of using those plugs i go home from rehearsals with no headache, and can still hear normally. we got a really good loud drummer so no plugs and with everyone's amps at high levels it can hurt.
