sweetfun Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Kandyraver is right. It only takes 1/2 of loud music to start the damage...the damage affects high frequence sounds first and as it get worse it moves to the lower frequences. So, wear you earplugs as much as possible...

darkfyre Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I tried the plugs clubplanet people were passing out at tiesto@exit back in december and found that i had a lot of trouble hearing the music that way... this is on top of the fact that the exit sound system was cranked past its limit or something and was really fucking up the bass...anyone have this problem? could u suggest a good brand of plugs to go with, or are they all rather much the same?

kandyraver Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 go to guitar center or sam ash, or any music store get a pair of musician's plugs they cost $15 going for pro plugs is a waste unless you are a dj and work everyday in a studio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehacker Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 the plugs to get will say Noise Reduction earplugs on them, with a rating in decibels... i've found that those with a rating of 29db make things a little quiet; my friend's got a pair rated at 24db and he says he doesn't miss a thing, and no ears ringing after the event.kandyraver, correct me if i'm wrong (as you seem to have done quite a bit of research on the subject; kudos to you!) - you should find plugs with a rating of at Least 18 to 20db... ??

kandyraver Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 actually the plugs musicians use aren't rated that high due to the testing the FDA does they usually test about a 6-12 mine are rated at a 6 but they still work fine and protect your ears they filter out the sound rather than muffle them like styrofoam plugs normally do i have teh north safety sonic valve II they work good, pro sets cost $75-$500 depending on the filters that you get for them and they include the visit to the audiologist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good ones are those you have custom fitted for your ear....I so have to get one but don't have the $300 it costs Not wearing earplugs will fuck you up eventually.....I've heard rumors of a couple of DJs like Ed Rush who are basically deaf at this point.
