T'ain't about what you need to do, John. It's about what they need to do. The more you press the lousier you play. If the other jammers can't back off consistently, you have two choices: live with it and learn to play at a normal level despite not being able to hear or find some other jammers.
This is why I don't like jamming with more than 4-5 other people. It gets so loud and crowded it just isn't worth it. Not to mention the fact that tunes take 10 minutes to get around the circle.
