should you wear earplugs when u go out?

[herman]

i have been wearing earplugs (er-15's) for about 3 years now and after an incident where i lost them last year and had to do a gig without them i can safely say i wouldn't play without them now , i really can't understand how anyone who plays or goes to a club a lot can do without them now.

i think i will be geeting a set of these within the next two weeks. Where can i get them herman. And whats the procedure, how do you get them fitted- do it yourself or go somewhere for it to be done.?

http://www.hearingprotection.co.uk/location.php if you follow that link you should find a dealer near to you, you have to go in and have moulds made of your inner ear which is basically like have blue tac injected into them , then they send off the moulds for the plugs to be made will probably cost around the £165 mark and takes about a week to have made. might sound expensive but heed the warnings from others on the board if you do keep abusing your ears you will end up with tinnutus or worse.
