If you go to a hearing aid place, you can have soft rubber molds made of your inner ears. Etymotic makes little SPL discs attenuation discs (5-10-15-20 dB) that you then insert into the outer end of the molds. The discs attenuate all frequencies evenly (flat frequency response), so you don't get the muffled sound of most ear plugs. I've been wearing them since the mid-80's, for live shows and personal performances. It makes gauging dynamics (your volume in relation to the other musicians) a little difficult, but it's worth it.
Ear plugs for live musc.
My wife & I enjoy live music but I can't handle how loud it is. We recently saw Nancy Wilson's "Roadcase Royale" and it kicked my ears ass. For the last dozen years or so I have been using tissue paper to dampen the DB's. I thought I read here some time ago about ear plugs to lower the sound levels but still allow the whole sound spectrum through. I saw on Amazon something called Eargasms or some such.
Can anyone recommend something that they found works well? I did a quick search in misc. audio but really didn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks, John
