Ear Protection

[Audeo]

In some occasions I can imagine wearing hearing protection.. Like if you don't have control over the booth volume or if there is too much volume coming back at you from the room but most of the time I deal with DJ's who wears -20dB custom molded protection, then turns up his/her headphone to an ungodly volume and then has the 4 gigawatt monitor setup blasting at full volume at about 1 meter away from him/her. And then complains that the monitors aren't loud enough.

Just use your ears as judgement and let it be swift. If you take off your headphones and you're like OHGOD THIS IS LOUD for just 1 second.
You can bet your ass it's loud. Just turn it down. Really, there is no shame in turning down the volume of your monitors.
