Preventing hearing loss

[Mark Purney]

I should have spent more time with the archives before posting (my 
apologies). I see some recommendations for Diane Hofstetter's earplugs 
in the archives, so I'll look into that option, too.

For now, I just ordered a $12 pair of Etymotic ER20BP plugs to protect 
me from this spinet I'm practicing on. I wish they had these back in the 
80s and 90s when I played in rock bands (maybe they did, but I didn't 
know about them).
