Do you wear Earplugs at raves?

[C_squared]

NWDNB.BC.CA has heard the voice of many junglists in this city who are concerned about their hearing, and we've taken the steps to provide temporary earplugs (by EAR) at the BIG shows which you can purchase by donation.

It's all in support of project W.H.A.T! (wicked hearing all the time)

thanks awesome, good for you guys!

and I should really start wearing some earplugs when going to raves/clubs, I already have a slight ringing in my ears 24/7 which isnt good.

I wouldnt mind getting some clear custom ones, I have problems with those cheapo foamy ones, they dont stay in my ears properly.

the custom ones fits well but are very expensive.

It's worth noting that the ER-15's (the standard 'musicians' earplugs) are *not* a totally flat frequency response like I expected... sure, they're flat to a point, but everything above 8khz rolls off sharply, so like the guy said above, sound is a lot less 'crisp'.

I personally don't mind *that* much - at high volumes it's the high frequencies that hurt the most. I'm not just mixing records though, I'm doing the full mix live, so it'd be much better for me if they were actually flat across the board. I just have to be careful not to boost my high frequencies to compensate, or I'll end up hurting my audience. :)

Oh, and here's what they look like:

I wasn't talking about those. I was talking about the ridiculous orange ones. and how they couldn't fit anyone. haha.

I know how they fit the customs, i went with my man to get his made. he said it feels all weird when the put the moldy stuff in, really cold. haha..

If you think they are weird because they are sticking out then you are wearing them wrong. They are suppose to be practically invisible in side the ear with a bit sticking out. check youtube to how to wear earplugs. im talking about the tube ones that rollup. with them on after awhile the music seems normal. if your on a rollercoaster, wink wink you wont even know the difference.
