Originally posted by Platipus a friend of mine has a pair of dB blockers ans swears by them. They've got a line designed for DJ's called the convertible vented. it has a NRR rating of 25 (NRR - Noise Reduction Rating), which lowers the overall dB rating 25 points. While still being able to have a conversation... it pulls out the highs and the lows and filters the conversation frequencies... they are pricey, but they are custom to your ear, and barely looks and feels like you have plugs in at all.. (unless you got the chord in) here's the link: Custom Ear Protect $100 with shipping they come to your place and fit you, and you get the plugs two weeks later.

I've heard REALLY awesome things about these too.

Cool- Carbon Computing on Queen E. is a distributor. Will call to check prices tomorrow. Hopefully they sell the extra cases and straps too. Extra cases to hold foam earplugs is always handy.

I am ordering some right now.

Ive been meaning to get earplugs for a long time, and this has given me a good kick in the arse. I have noticed that my ears are getting really sensitive lately and I always tend to get horrible ringing after a night out, it's brutal.

Ordered 3 pairs today. 1 pair for Cuzo, and 2 for me (in case I lose them).

Whoa- I'm a little pissed right now.
I ordered mine online (3 pairs), yet the UPS guy JUST showed up at my door asking for another $38 in handling fees!!! I refused the delivery for now, gonna call the company to find out the deal if I can refuse them & get a refund. There's no way I'm spending a total of nearly $80 for 3 prs of earplugs.

WTF?!?
