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!

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.

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...

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