Their flatter frequency response makes for better music and speech hearing. Since they insert deeply in the ear, there is less drumming from one's own speech and playing. In noisy environments they help speech comprehension for me. Definite ear savers in an enclosed pit where I had a trumpet playing at my ear. They had lowered the pit, extended the stage over it, and enclosed the sides. I'll second the motion on these plugs. I use them as necessary as do many others in the MO. They work as well as the custom plugs at about a 10th of the cost. I would go with the custom, though, if you are in a situation that requires you to wear plugs all the time.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Hearing protection
Anytime you find yourself too near loud instruments or loud anything, you
can wad up some facial tissue, toilet paper, even newspaper or a strip of
cloth, etc. into your ears and enjoy great relief from the aural assault.
It's free and effective. Such quick-fixes may even work better than
professionally designed earplugs since you can still hear what's going on
around you.
Just survived a week in the Gilbert Sullivan pit, about 2 ft from the
bells of two trumpets.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Hearing protection
Dear Listers - While I have tried wadding up various things to put in my ears, nothing has been as effective as ear plugs, my favorite being the E*A*R brand because they work fairly well, are inexpensive and are readily available. But if David wishes to continue putting facial and toilet tissue in his ears, more power to him. One thing about E*A*R plugs is that they are considerably easier to reuse.
