Mylo's great...hope he recovers and plays NYC soon... Yeah, I have good hearing and worry about losing it by being in clubs 2-3 times a week. Now I wear these most of the time: http://www.earlove.net/index1.html Inexpensive, and they work great: I can actually hear better, talk to people easier, and appreciate the music with these bad boys. Can't recommend them enough to all you frequent clubbers, esp for those places that think a LOUD soundsystem is a substitute for CLEAR.....
