I know many DJ's on here advocate the use of ear protection not only when playing a set but when attending a club or gig,to help prevent tinnitus. I myself have recently started using ear protection, and have already noticed a huge difference in how much I am able to enjoy club events without being half deaf.
I've started using the Planet Waves foam Musicians Earplugs, -24dB, though I think that -24dB is a little too much. They cause the sound to be quite muddy and I found the drops in a techno set i was at on saturday a little less 'oompfh'-y as they should have been.
As a poor student I cant afford custom moulded ones, but it made me ask the question, what does everyone else use?
