What best for me? Hearing protection
I know there are a few threads on this but i was just wondering if anyone could advise me on what model of ear-protection to get.

I work in a nightclub 4 Nights a week
I dj using hdj200, probably DJ twice a week
And i regularly attend Dj sets E.g Skrillex (twice a month)
I was going to go for the
ACS PRO 27 as i think they offer the most protection yet in the description it says the ACS PRO 17 are popular with DJs
Help me please
I’ve bought 15dB filters for my custom earplugs, as I felt any higher would hinder my performance. It may be doable, but imo 15dB is enough for a DJ unless you use ridiculously loud monitors. Never had my ears buzzing after a gig, and in busy times I spin 3 days a week for about 7 hours straight, so I guess that’s pretty close to a worst case scenario for ones ears.
Edit: that means I recommend going for the 17 series.
15dB should be fine for DJing, but for attending big parties/festivals I found out the hard way (my tinnitus got louder) that you need more protection…
