did you have these custom made by a hearing specialist?
I've got a pair of the Etymotic earplugs and I've never experienced ringing
after wearing them (using either the 15 or 20 db filter).
Were you standing really close to the speakers at any given time?
I could see if you're at the underground stage for long periods of time
possibly suffering some hearing loss with or without the filters
It's a concrete bunker
the musician earplugs are worth the money ($80 per ear)
their molded to fit in your ear and also take up some space of your outer
ear so that they fill the entire canal
you can still wear DJ headphones with them too

(313) hearing loss, what do you
say?
Hey all,
It seems like a lot of folx on this list have been going for a long time
and some of yous are producers, so I suspect that people care about
hearing. I have a pair of these (http://www.hearnet.com/shop/index.shtml
)and a couple of different filters 15 &20s but in Detroit at the festival I
was still experiencing ringing after the festival volumes.
What do people do about the length of time and level of volumes that they
are exposed to -- to preserve your hearing?
It is worth checking out this site for rockers,

I am interested in what people do?
