I've worn earplugs so consistantly that (somehow) I am able to decode any attenuated sound and mentally extrapolate to make the levels flat.
Sounds weird I know, but I never notice when I have the plugs in!:toocool: |

I got a pair of custom musicians plugs, made by the same company who makes the er-20's. The custom ones are a lot more money, so it is an investment, but now that i have them i don't like partying without them.
They may also have er-20's there for sale.

| I've never worn earplugs in a club: I love to hear the sound pounding out big time....having said that, every single time after an event my ears do not stop ringing until at least 24 hrs later |

make sure you have them when you to Tiesto. For some reason I always come home w/ the worst ringing sound when I get back from the Docks. Or maybe thats cause I get stuck in front of the speaker. Who knows though. |

Im not suree if anyone else has similar info posted somwhere, but i thought it relates to the ear ringing ...
"
The ringing you hear could be tinnitus. Tinnitus, often associated with hearing loss, causes a ringing, buzzing, or other noise heard in the ear in the absence of any outside noises that can be annoying, irritating, bothersome, and/or infuriating to the person affected. Tinnitus can also be a symptom of other hearing and ear disorders.
Listening to loud music at concerts and clubs, or at home with headphones, can lead to temporary or permanent loss of hearing, sometimes referred to as "rock-and-roll deafness."
Perhaps the music one night was particularly loud, you stayed longer than usual, you were near the amplifiers, or there's already some ear damage, and that's why the ringing in your ears lasted longer than it normally does. See your health care provider since you've noticed a change.
Decibel (dB) Data
* Normal conversation: 65 dB
* Live concert: 120 dB
* Pain threshold for average human ear: 130 dB
If you have tinnitus, your ears would benefit from not listening to loud music and noises. However, if music and the club scene are a significant part of your life, you may find it difficult to go to clubs less often. In that case, use disposable earplugs, which come in a variety of shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. To reduce the risk of an ear infection, replace your earplugs with a new pair after a few wears. Also, position yourself away from the amplifiers.
Finally, consider the usually smoky atmosphere at clubs and concerts. Some medical literature supports the association between smoking and hearing loss.
If the ringing persists, if you think your hearing has been impaired, or if you are still worried about it, Alice encourages you to consult with your health care provider or an ear/hearing specialist. " |

I don't think I'll be grabbing any ear plugs bud: I party so seldomly that I don't think I have much to worry about...ears will be ringing for at least a day after the event though hehe (not my favourite thing in the world but I love the loud sound at clubs)....we'll see....I appreciate the advice though big guy :D:D:D |

Yep. I can also vouch for the Etymotic ER-20s. I bought the clear ones earlier this year and they are almost unnoticeable in your ear.
Those foam throw away ones take out too much of the high frequencies and don't allow me to hear most the melodies in trance. The Etymotics do a decent job of dampening the decibel levels across all frequencies.
I have also used them at outdoor festivals when trying to sleep. They are decent at this as well.
I finally invested in these after Godskitchen Global Gathering in Miami this year. A little too much time in front of the left speaker at the main stage for sasha + diggers, armin and ferry. Got a little tinnitus in the left ear now :( Decibel levels were probably in the 130ish range that evening. Its easy to forget how damaging the music is when you are having such a good time I guess. |

seeing as hearing is the sense that deteriorates the fastest why increase your odds by not wearing them?
a few years ago i stood next to a speaker for too long and lost about 20% hearing in my right ear, i refuse to let it get any worse
i want to enjoy sound until the day i die. earplugs stop the ringing and you can hear with clarity all night -no aural degredation.
you can also hear people much more clearly with them in
