-- Hi Olav & Colleagues, If you find something that works let me know...I'm getting to the point when I have to sit in front of Trumpets in a band setting, I am wearing earplugs to protect my hearing. If I don't, my ears ring horribly by the end of the rehearsal and during the next day. I went to the doctor, fearing that I was going deaf, had a couple of different hearing tests and was told to return in six months, but to also use some sort of hearing protection. I bought some earplugs that are supposed to kick in when the sound gets to a certain level. I am not assured that the plugs are really that good. I wonder if any of others on the list have had experience with making inexpensive deflectors out of plexiglass? I have seen some at the Detroit Symphony, and at other venues, (namely a church that I play at) but I was informed that those professional deflectors can be quite expensive. Any thoughts?
