hearing protection

[Ron Koval]

I too, am a believer in hearing protection.  I have a mild case of tinnitus, 
so I use the plugs almost all the time.  I had a custom set made, but I 
prefer to use the off-the-shelf musician's earplugs from Etymotic Research.  
(That's the ER, in the ER-9's or ER-15's)  The easiest place to find these 
plugs is in guitar centers, or those places that cater to rock-n-rollers.  
They should be Less than $20, though I seem to remember they are even less 
if purchased from Etymotic off their website.

I just checked the site, and the ER-20's off the shelf are $10.  There's 
good information on the site comparing the foam plugs to flat-response ones, 
so if you've tried to tune with the foam ones, it may be worth your time to 
check these out!
