> I'm only awake right now because my ears are still ringing...

I know this is off topic, but seriously consider getting a set of concert earplugs. My hearing is completely fucked from too many shows and having headphones too loud. I'm that guy who makes you repeat yourself 3 times and still doesn't hear what you're saying. Tinnitus is fucking ass too. That ringing you have right now will be 24/7. And, it can't be fixed - once it's gone, it's gone.

Sorry for sounding like a mom. I just don't want others to have to go through what I do if at all possible.

Earasers. They are the best hands down. They are $40 but they are 100% worth it. Better than $200 custom earplugs from the ear doctor. Best out there. Trust me.

Hey so I use Small $40 musician ear plugs called Earasers

I found them at Guitar Center, and their the best/most expensive ones there. $40 for one pair is pretty expensive since other brands are half the price, but I really swear by these. I like the simple design and its super easy to put in, take out, and clean. And since its high fidelity earplugs, you can talk to people with them on and the music sounds great. It makes the bass sound good and the high pitched sounds less sharp and painful. But they are just for concerts, because I tried playing drums with these earplugs and it didn’t have enough decibel protection, but for a concert its perfect since you have distance from the band to the crowd.

So if you end up not liking the other brands out there because of their shapes or fit, these Earasers are definitely worth the money. With other ones, sometimes you don’t feel it go enough to plug your ears all the way. But with Earasers, they slide in and fit really snug, and you can adjust how far their in your ear according to how loud you want it.
Because of the texture of the plugs, it easily slides into the ear but it also grabs any earwax with it, so be prepared for some earwax when you take them out. Maybe I have an over abundance of earwax, but what I do is before a concert, I’ll put in the earplugs then take them out and clean all the earwax off and put them back in, basically cleaning my ear and preventing any earwax from being bothersome throughout the concert. Sorry for the TMI haha, but I have been rocking the same pair of Earasers for years and its honestly one of the best purchases ever!

And I don’t work for the company or anything lol, I just go to shows like once a month. I use size Small and anyone else I’ve seen try them said Small fits for them too. Safe travels!

I just bought Earasers but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Any comparisons out there? They seem pretty well received and I read a lot of good reviews, but as reasonably priced as those are I might consider them as a second/backup pair.

And I got them on massdrop for much less than the listed retail here btw

Cheap foam ones if nothing else, but i find they muddle the sound and make it difficult to talk to people

You can get decently comfy hi fidelity ones for 15-20 bucks, I liked these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX1TOFM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I upgraded and splurged and got a pair of $40 Earasers and they are AMAZING. Totally invisible, no ringing ears, I can hear the music, talk to people, and wear them for 8 hours at a festival with little to no discomfort. Even sometimes forgetting I have them in. I don't leave home without them. I got the small size and they fit me perfectly.

These are more expensive but worth it!

Ear plugs make a world of difference. First and foremost nearly all venues are not hearing safe. Beyond that, most plugs are gonna cut out some of the garbage noise and really improve what you hear. I grew up never really catching vocals well enough and since using plugs I've heard everything.

​

Check out Earasers. https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1541087649&sr=8-3&keywords=earasers+earplugs

​

You can get them at a few music shops around town.

Honestly, it's going to take some trial and error to find the right ones for you.

There's plenty cheap but decent options so that if you lose yours on a somewhat consistent basis, it won't cost too much. It might happen as you get used to carrying them with you. A lot of people do Keys, I do my wallet but YMMV.

Three Popular options: Etymotic 20 DownBeats & Earasers I used US Amazon to show examples.

The Earasers are the Pricey option, but from my understanding, they offer the best Clarity. No case either, so you'll need to look for one. There's a fully "licensed" (meaning they'll fit) case for an extra 10$.

Etymotic 20's are what I use. Again, no case but I use a cheap key-chain pill case. Sounds good to my ears.

DownBeats are the most popular option I've seen around. They're too small for my ear canals, but they work for most. Come with a case, which is nice. Nice silicon and a friend who owns a pair usually forgets they're in.

All of these might work, or none of them. You just kind of have to try them out and see what works for you. Best of luck!

I use earasers: https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA.

Decent price, stays in ear without any problems, and can still hear the music/talk to your friends.

I purchased Earasers from the local Guitar Center. I had a fitment issue with my tiny earl canals and they do an exchange program. They are a little on the pricey side but at least you know you will get a pair that will fit!

They won't block out quite as much as some of the others but I have yet to find a set that protects from as much of a frequency range without sacrificing quality.

Here's everything I ordered just last night!

Extra Earplugs just in case someone needs them along the way

these are hands down the best ear plugs I have ever owned and totally worth the money. Make it sound wayyyyy crisper and I will never go to a show without them.

Got the girlfriend this gem for lounging around at camp.

I've been using these for years too and they're quite good but sometimes depending on what kind of music I'm listening to things can sound a bit muffled. Obviously, you're never gonna get ideal sound while protecting your ears unless you drop the money for customs but I just ordered Earasers from amazon and I'm looking forward to trying them since they seem to work quite differently than other earplugs and I've read a lot of good reviews. I'll let you guys know how they perform after this weekend.

because Tinnitus reeealllllyyyyyy sucks and it doesn't go away...EVER
I'm 30 and there isn't a minute that goes by that I don't wish I would've worn hearing protection during my younger years. The ringing gets old QUICK!

Take it from someone who learned the hard way..just wear them. If you get good earplugs, it will not affect the sound quality at all (honestly it usually sounds better).

I use Earasers and they are great. I have etymonics as my back ups. I know it doesn't seem important, but just spend the money and wear them. Put them in before the show and within five minutes you won't even notice they are there.
These are the ones I have:
https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1526320579&sr=8-3&keywords=earaser%2Bear%2Bplugs&dpID=51ByuVgt14L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

Tbh I don't remember. I bought a LOT of them cause I value my hearing more than my money, and I'm pretty sure I tried just about every size available. This is just for my btw (which I know isn't super helpful) and it might be worth trying and returning a pair or two if the first you try doesn't seem right.

I will evangelize the Earasers a little bit. Among my friend group I think everyone that's given them a shot has settled on them. For me they are the only ones that fit and don't distort.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E2D9HAA/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Invest in a quality pair of earbuds. You’ll still be able to hear everything while you play and quality of sound won’t be affected, but the harshness of the sound will drop considerably. This will protect your eardrums from further damage with you still being able to play as you wish. Best of luck to you!

Don't get the cheap ones. A good pair goes for $15 ish on Amazon and they are extremely comfortable and designed to keep the sound clean while protecting your ears. No muffling

These are the ones that are $15 a pair and worked great for me so far: Live Music Hear Safe Earplugs

These are more expensive but came highly recommended on this sub: earasers

I personally recommend these; or if you need a cheaper option, these

I've tried multiple earplugs and nothing work as well as Earasers in that price range. Still relatively inexpensive, you can have conversations when you're in the crowd wearing these, and they only get rid of the harmful high frequencies.

https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1496598464&sr=8-1&keywords=earasers+musicians+plugs

The next step up from these is getting custom-fitted musician's earplugs that DJs use. At $200 a pair, they're quite the price but they'll save your ears in the long run.

Bought these last year and they've been pretty great for me.

I've used Downbeats for about two years and they get the job done real well. They stay in my ear canals well and have never fallen out so bumping into people shouldn't be an issue. They block out the highs and mids a bit too much and make the bass a bit overwhelming so I'm looking into other options.

I've been recently thinking of trying these out: [Earasers] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2D9HAA/?coliid=I2M1RE39HLTSOH&colid=3RHLE0TX6YN3E&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it).

I've read good reviews about them so hopefully they're an upgrade but the Downbeats have been solid.

I use earasers I've taken them to numerous festivals and they've always treated me well.

Check out Earasers they're $40 and easily one of my favorite music-related purchases. You can also get them 2-day shipped for free if you have Amazon Prime so that helps.

I bought a pair of earasers for $40 right before seeing them at Sound on Sound last year and they've saved my ear drums a hell of a lot.

https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA?th=1

They attenuate sound relatively equally across the audible frequency spectrum, so it's like turning down a volume knob. Of course they're not perfect, and it'll get a bit bass heavier, but it's way better than foam plugs that muffle the hell out of everything, or having tinnitus.

Based on the responses in this thread, I'm really interested in the Etymotic ones that everyone is recommending. I've never tried them, but it sounds like they're pretty popular, and for good reason.

Personally, I got a pair of Earasers, and I love them. These lower the volume enough for me to spend all night at a show without any ringing in my ears when I go to bed. They preserve enough fidelity that I can have conversations and still enjoy the music. And best of all, they're practically invisible. Most people can't even tell I'm wearing them.

Ive tried a couple different kinds of ear plugs, looking for something that wouldnt muffle the sound, just shrink the spectrum. So far I've been happy with Earasers

earasers

Yo estudio Diseño de sonido y los uso siempre que salgo a cualquier fiesta y toque, vitales!!!

Te recomiendo los Earasers, en mi opinion son los que suenan mejor si queres cuidarte y disfrutar la musica lo mas que puedas.
Los Dub tambien estan buenos pero te atenuan bastate mas los agudos.

Yo los compre por Amazon y los traje por MiamiBox, el envio sale poco generalmente porque tienen muy poco peso.

I use earasers. They fit like customs, but only cost $40. I've used etymotic technology and others in the past, and I think these have the most clarity. I've used them at concerts and in performance settings (professional musician ~15 years). Also, I feel like these are the least noticeable in your ears. Mine came with a metal case.

EDIT: No matter which you decide on, WEAR EAR PLUGS. Save your ability to enjoy the music you love for the rest of your life.

You obviously dodged a bullet here. Ditch her and get some of these.

Earasers are great, but don't pay $50.

I agree that it's best to get moulded plugins by a specialist.

If you don't wish to jump that far into things yet, Earasers have worked well for me. They are low profile and fit really well, but don't muddle up the sound like Hearos do.

Like anything, different plugs are recommended for different decibel limits. For example, if you buy a pair of ear plugs to wear at concerts, you would not want to wear those same plugs to the gun range.

That being said, I'd recommend these for concerts. Those will effectively 'lower' the sound without dampening or muffling it.

Hope that helps!

These work pretty great imo. Got them for when bassnectar came thru Chicago for the Spring Gathering and did not regret it.


Pros:
1.) Sound quality: They have built in attenuators, so they don't just muffle the sound. Sound quality remains solid because they still allow certain frequencies to pass through to the ear canal, but they limit the volume by about + or- 5 to 10db. That didn't sound like a lot to me when I first got them, but damn it made a difference. Woke up the next morning with no ringing or hearing fatigue.
2.) Comfort! I put these guys in right before Rezz started her set, and by the time Lorin started playing I completely forgot I had them in. I literally had keep making sure they hadn't slipped out during the show because I couldn't feel them in my ears after I adjusted.
3.) Clear Coated: Not proud of it, but am definitely self conscious about showing my age and didn't wanna be judged by anyone for wearing ear plugs and looking old as shit in a crowd that's usually a couple years younger than me lol (I know it's irrational, leave me be. I'm old, god damnit.) But it's really honestly hard to tell someone has them in unless you're standing next to them or really looking hard. So there's that also.
4.) Storage: They come with a tiny clear case for storage that doesn't take up too much pocket space.


Cons:
1.) Expensive: They cost 40$...as far as ear plugs go that's more than most. So if you're like me and lose a lot of shit (especially when I'm at shows) be cautious getting them. Haven't lost them yet, but festival season is upon us, so we'll see if I can manage to keep track of 'em.


Definitely recommend them if you trust yourself not to lose them!

Man, I thought the dubs were pretty good IMO. are you saying it muffles the overall sound more vs earasers? this is causing me to re-review all the earplugs now.

I was actually looking at the earasers before - https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ - just to make sure we are talking about the same ones.

these live on my keychain now. I've tried several high end concert ear plugs and these are the most comfortable I've tried.

https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1497646273&sr=8-1&keywords=earasers

These are a good middle ground for if you're not trying to break the bank, but also retain great audio quality. I can't go to a show without these anymore, and trust me when I say they don't degrade the quality of the show at all. Actually improves it imo because I hate having my ears blown out.

These are the best earplugs I've come across: https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA . In order to become more independent, she needs to figure out what makes daily chores and such so difficult- sensory issues? Executive functioning difficulties/autistic inertia? A loop of depression brought on by lack of independence/agency?

Have you guys looked into online college? She could maybe just take one class at a time. If reading is difficult, she could have Irlen Syndrome. Amazon sells overlay samples. The actual glasses are better but pretty expensive.

Cheers

Hi, I think what you're looking for are called musicians earplugs. They lower volume without muffling sound quality. The ones I have are called
Earasers
https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487460400&sr=8-1&keywords=earasers+earplugs

I find those work pretty well, my only gripe about them is they sometimes wiggle loose (but not fall out). They arent the ones that go inside your ear like a qtip or something, they're like the old ipod earbuds.

The other ones I have are called Etymotic earplugs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/ref=sr_ph_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487460473&sr=sr-1&keywords=etymotic+earplugs

I like these ones because they actually go inside your ear so they don't get loose. Personally, I wear the etymotic more often but the Earasers are more comfortable.

Lmk if you have any questions! Always happy to help. I have a ton of earplugs but those two are my favorite. Protect your hearing!!!!

started using these last year and its changed my festival game up entirely!!!

Being able to sleep with nearly no ringing, able to hear your friends, these are super comfortable, I tried the ones linked on a comment below but they were just too long and I could never 'forget they were there' type deal

whereas these I only notice once I leave the the stage. All and all, ANY plugs will help!!!!

Ah. I wasn't looking at the Musicians Earplugs one, but the ER/ETY ones.

I got him these to see how he likes them. If he doesn't like them, I'll definitely look into the custom route.

My favorite earplugs are Earasers - they're a soft silicone similar to the ribbed Hearos (but even softer), but they're more form-fitting to my ear canals. They attenuate all frequencies evenly, so I can hear everything really well, and they only attenuate about 15-19dB so I don't play too loud either. I wear them any time I'm around loud music.

I use these https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA

They are great but a little more expensive.

i did some research and there seems to be three different levels, single use foam ones, then non custom reusable ones (they have like 3 rubber domes, but i saw a review of the domes breaking and getting stuck in the ear canal, which scared me), and then the custom molded ones that are super expensive but worth the investment if using them a lot.

so i feel like if i felt safe about using the ones like this https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-High-Fidelity-Earplugs-Standard-Packaging/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/ref=cm_wl_huc_item which this review scared me https://gyazo.com/6d3cbb28f97707b013dfe482a758ab33

so i might end up saving to buy custom ones. altho there's these which seem sorta like custom ones but also reusable and cheaper than custom, but the string that makes it easy to remove them broke for one reviewer https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_45?keywords=custom&th=1

Downbeats or Earasers
