Earplugs

Just a quick reminder that I cannot always provide earplugs, and that it is everyone's own responsibility to protect your ears. You can buy cheap earplugs at your local Chemist. However I can really recommend 'musicians earplugs' that are specifically made for your ears. They are not cheap (over $100) but your ears are very valuable too.

If there is enough interest in musicians earplugs I can try to negotiate a group deal at a Brisbane based specialist? Let me know.

Update: I've only found one supplier here in Brisbane so far, to have ear imprints taken, earplugs made and fitted costs $240. They don't want to do group discounts. I'll have another look.

I had a pair of these but unfortunately lost one of them at Woodford while dancing too excitedly!
I'd take them to any rehearsal and any concert or gig so that I have some control over what my ears are subjected to.
A great thing about them is that ALL sound levels are reduced, not just the treble. They make a huge difference to the foam ones.
I'm definitely going to buy a replacement pair in the next few weeks.

There is an off-the-shelf ear plug with filters built-in available in the US for tradesmen . Cheaper than custom made one.

See if I can find where the add was and let you know where to order online .

Problem with custom made one is you lose them quite easily and they're not cheap.
