-- Tinnitus, ear plugs
Pages (8): « 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7] 8 »

my hearing has taken a gradually depreciation since listening and going to clubs

now my discman's max volume doesnt bother me anymore.

i have to have the tv up a couple of notches louder.

and my music can never be loud enough..

however, i had a hearing test for work, and i was told that my hearing is still good, however i can tell its not as good as it used to be...


still.. nothing beats excessively loud trance.

you wont say that when you loose your hearing though

I thought the clearest sign of tinnitus (apart from the constant high-pitched ringing) was the inability to separate different sources of noise? Sort of like being able to separate and clearly distinguish voices against background noise (which I'm extremely bad at)...

Originally posted by Hyperdimension I feel that the ER-25 may cut too much sound out... I'm wondering whether using filters that are one step weaker would be better.

yeh i was worried bout that. you can get lower level filters (like 9, 15, 20) without having to do the mould again. works out cheaper too.

so how did the ear plugs work out erratik? I'm going to get mine fitted soon!

they're ace mate. i was wearing them for the first time last time i saw ya @ space ;P

only thing is they may be too good ie. cuts out too much sound. had i known that i might have gone with the lower value one (15 or less), but the product specifications state that for anything more than 4 hrs you should be going with the 20's anyway (the others are not effective then), and seeing as the objective is to not lose your hearing i think the sacrifice in sound is well worth it.

considering you're dj'g and up near the speakers a lot then i'd go the 20's for sure. cam might be able to offer more feedback dj-wise.

don't forget to choose your colour when you do the mold!

hey guys,

dj wise they are impossoble to mix with.... thast the standard 25's (think thats what i got)

ive tried on numerous times but it just cuts basically all the highs and leaves just pure bass...

but i dont know bout yours erratick but mine have replaceable filters, yours should to... ive got some 15's filters waiting for me i gotta go pickup.. they only cost $30... crazy considering the filters are only about the size of a few bits of sand lol!

but ill let you know how they go for djing when i give em a go...

but for non-djing purposes the standard 25's are fine..

Anf you will find you get used to them quickly and now i cant be ina club without them, my ears hurt!! no joke!! they are accustomed now!

nice, i still think its worth it.

my ears already have a slight ringing, so i dont want it to get any worse.

I will try my best to DJ with them on, see how it goes.


Im going to give the place u got them erratik a call, they seem to be cheaper than what Cameron got quoted?

Mine arrive on friday morning.. in time for 13 hour marathon at ANOT & the DJ comp.

I wasn't gonna try mixing with them... as people had told me they were too quiet for that... but i'l definitely have them on for the rest of the night,

my ears are still damaged from 2 weeks ago at gas...

how do you get the filter out? I got my er-25's at the same place you got yours so they should be exactly teh same

imo the reduction of noise filtered through the er-25's is a worthy compromise, i'd prefer dulled down music at clubs than tinnitus

yeh last time i checked they were anyway. who knows, give em both a call and see if the prices have dropped.

burwood is a 10-15 min drive from where i work so they were more convenient.

yeh cam, mine has replaceable filters too. just need to place an order if i want any other filters. i'll stick with the 25's for now.

well mine came 2 days early.

I had them in my ears for a couple hours this arvo to get used to the feeling of them.. and I hace to say they are quite good.

In fact when I finally took them out, I actually felt like my hearing had improved coz my ears were adjusting to hearing very quiet sounds.

Anyhoo.. I mixed with mine no problems.. mind you my HD25 headphones were up on half way to be able to hear it clear enough...

What a lot of you call a lack of trebel is in fact just a lack in all frequencies really. Like.. everything is pretty toned down. Id say that there is a sharp cut off somewhere around 12KHz tho

The bass is still quite loud, but nothing's gonna stop bass from going thru your ears.. hell it goes thru cement walls!

In all, I probably won't mix with them on at Arq coz I never use the monitors and its pretty quiet behind the decks there anyways.

I probably will try use them at icebox tho, as I find that is a fair bit louder in the booth even with the monitor off.

this was on the news tonight

its a device u use for 6months that retrains your brain to not notice the effects of tinnitus or soemthing like that

sounds promising!

chck it out

ok, so not really being apart of this thread, however having obviously damaged ears, and always having to have music and tv's louder in order to hear them properly, to save my hearing as is, for dj'ing as opposed to going out.

what is recommended i pickup???

ordered mine yesterday, parents paid for my bday present ;D

I'm going to try my hardest to mix with them on, so here is hoping!!

Should get them by the time i come back from Fiji.

Finally had my impression made yesterday arvo...They are coming with the ER25's as standard and i've asked to purchase the ER15's for comparison purposes. Load off my shoulders now the wheels are in motion for me getting them. I should have em in two weeks.

there was a thread in the DJ booth a lil while ago, created by freak about earplugs. he got some custom made ones, cost about 150 pounds. but his review made them sound spectacular. ie you could still hear *everything* -it was just quieter. if and when i go earplugs, id go for the best. you cant pay too high a price for your health imo. and itd suck not being able to DJ coz you were deaf.

Had mine for over 6 months now, try to never go into any loud venue without wearing them. They work brilliantly, if anything, improving sound quality (well the perception of), because your ear drums aren't having the crap belted out of them.

I haven't been able to dj in them though, Would be interesting to see what the 15's do in that respect.

I tend to mix in my phones, giving me some protection. Also when not mixing i also leave my phones on for protection also. When I finish a set I put my plugs back in straight away. (Also wear them prior to have, 'fresh' ears to mix with).

*hugs ER-25s*

never leave home without em!

best buy ever, imo.

highly recommended

i got the 25s and the 15s.

25s cuts out a bit too much noise for my likings, but are still good

15s I use for recordings and they are perfect, but if im not working or if its really really loud the 25s do the job nicely.

Doesnt matter how loud it is the next day your ears are perfect

you carry both filters to the club on any given night?

yeah, people who complain about their ears ringing after leaving the club need to stop complaining and do something about it

nicknack lost his ER-25's at Christopher Lawrence two months after he got them - drinking lots of alcohol and taking the earplugs out for good tunes don't mix

do they look silly when you're wearing them?

or are they moulded hidden goodness...?
