There are really good fitted earplugs you can purchase for upwards of $100, and they are a very worthwhile investment. Everyone I know who uses them swears by them. However, if you're a cheapskate like me, use what's available. I use an unsmoked cigarete butt, torn down the middle vertically. You fold both halves in half again and insert to fit. They filter out a lot of the highs which are most damaging, without muffling everything. If you ain't a smoker, toilet paper or paper towells wadded up will work although I find that less comfortable. I recommend these options because they will get you in the habit of looking for something to put in your ears, and eventually you'll notice just how much even these crap methods help. If you think you need to do something, you certainly do. Those foam earplugs you can buy in bulk work too well for my taste, and they tend to muffle things a lot - only really recommended for ceiling-falling-apart affairs, in which case they work wonders. You'll forget you have them in. Kent was the life of the Planet E party this year @ DEMF with his bag-o-plugs. :) Tristan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
