Clyde and List, I have worn custom Westone molds and 15 dB ER inserts for about eight months or so. I use them for the entire tuning, and find that my ears are as sensitive at the last tuning as they are at the first. I have not once regretted buying the plugs. Buy 'em and use 'em!

Is the number increasing? I started within the past two years when I developed a slight tinnitis which I suppose I will have the rest of my life. Are there some old tuners who have never used ear plugs and yet have excellent hearing? I feel it is a sensible precaution although I would rather not bother with them.
