So, do any of you sport custom earplugs (ones where you have a mold
made of your ear canal, send them away and the plugs come back w/ little
replaceable sound baffles blocking 9, 15, 25dB)? If so, what kind do
you have? Where did you get fit for them? How much did it all cost?
Did insurance cover any of it? How do you like them?



I've worn disposable plugs for years, but I'm not really happy w/ them
and they fall out and when one fell out at Blue Cheer and my options
were going deaf from the very very loud 80's crunch metal guitar stack
or picking that little sucker up off the 506 floor, dusting it off and
jamming it back in my ear, I did the latter. That act haunts my dreams
now as I can only imagine what lives on the 506 floor.



Whyfor Mr. Mullet have to play that crunchy 80's metal guitar sound when
late 60's sludge was what was called for? Whyfor he do that? Still
they rocked w/ much greatness.
