My band had a UK tour coming up in February and I thought since I would be playing every night to buy a permenant pair and protect my hearing.

These have been working wonders. They are very easy to fit in and can be almost too comfortable that I forget im wearing them at some points, which leads me to another plus of these.

It’s almost as though the volume has hardly been turned down at all. It takes off a lot of the high end frequencies that you get from the cymbals and the high end frequencies from the guitar, bass and vocals.

After having cast of my inner ears taken they were made in six weeks. During live shows and during rehearsals my ears are protected, allowing me to have my hearing and enjoy playing and listening to the music I love. They can be made in a variety or colours and contain a cord to join the earplugs up so you dont lose them.

The clear ones without the cord can be a nightmare to find, I’m sure I’d be have lost them without the cord by now. You do have to have your ears syringed first before you go to get them done, as the wax in the ears won’t give an accurate impression of the cast.

Getting these earplugs is on of the smartest things a musician can do, as your hearing is protected, but the sound isn’t compromised. As musicians, we can’t ask for anything better.
