never heard that before ...

Here is a friendly advice:
For those who think that medicine will save you-think twice. Today doctors can do almost anyhting for $$$$, so if you guys feel like paying four or five digit amounts in the future go ahead. ...or simply buy cheap ear plugs in Pharmaprix for 2$ pair(or the onces Kate bought), if they block too much sound cut them so you hear all you want. Also, insert them in the begining of the night at Aria(before getting into the main room)-because if you stay near the speaker for 10-more minutes and put ear plugs after...trust me you won't like it.

p.s. I've been in afterhours since 99 and first few months neglected the loudness ...then started using earplugs and hearing loss stopped!

It's not the clubs that will kill my hearing, its the headphones and the 6 hours of music I listen to everyday that will do it!

Just turn on the speakers and tell your roomates to suck it up

its the work I do, it allows me to listen to my headphones so I kill my ears after 6 hours

So as the PVD show approaches, did you end up getting any Taha?

I was one of the first to wear earplugs at loud places and was often laughed at :P now people are buying them at the highest prices.. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth, earplugs save you from that funny noise after-taste AND, most importantly, next day headaches! Don't worry, there is no significant loss as to the quality of music you're hearing, and it's easier to listen to people talking to you. I haven't been paid to say that, but I found 3M to be the best brand

i know why you say they're the best

Posted by Psy-Trancer on Apr-19-2003 05:20:

so wat do u guys suggest are the best?

Posted by fastmp3 on Apr-19-2003 07:11:

the ones kate bought , they are the best in qualit�/prix , you can get something better only if you're ready to spend more than 200$ (US)

After wearing them on Thursday, I have to say that I'd rather not... but I'd also like to keep my hearing! They muffled the music a lot, however I could definitely still hear it very well. I just like to hear the bass crisp and the melody clearly. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of music vs. 4 days of ringing ears!

Posted by rongerabbit on Apr-19-2003 17:04:

My ears didn't ring at all, and I spent a lot of time right in front of the speakers.

That's one of the pros I find ! I don't think I'll need earplugs.

Kate and Taha...
were you wearing them at Scott Bond ?
if so.. tell me if it really cuts the frequencies equaly... and can u still hear the music loud enough to feel teh energy in the music and make you dance ?

Posted by fastmp3 on May-26-2003 00:55:

I totally forgot to bring them with me, and I sure regretted it. I wore them at PVD though, and it muffles the sound a little bit, but I heard that some people wear them halfway into the ears instead of all the way in and it helps your ears somewhat but also lets you hear the music better. I'll try that next time and let you know.

you guys can get a set made at an audiologist for around $150 CAN that are really sweet. ive had mine for over a year now and i dont go out without em...theyre moulded to my ears and reduce shit flat by 15db....to be honest in *most* clubs they actually IMPROVE the sound...

any of you looking for them in ottawa i got mine done at the davidson hearing centre across the street from tommy and lefebvre on bank st. they also do testing so you can see if youve got loss already...

best $$ ive ever spent...

Posted by fastmp3 on May-26-2003 04:21:

a bit pricey but i guess it'S the best investment a dj or someone working in a club can do
