im not jordan, but i can tell you that everything people say about them is true -- its like superhuman hearing; everything is quieter but more clear. it's like having and eq and a volume cut and a little compressor processing the audio coming in your ear. the one annoying thing is when they pop out when you grimace

I didn't even know you COULD lose lows. Do they go naturally over time like the highs?

When I had my appointment he said I'd lost lows too, but he said the curve was pretty usual for someone of my age (31)

There's a term for a disease/set of symptoms that occurs in deaf people where, unlike most deaf people, they lose from the lows up. I forget the term of course, I think it's Someone's Syndrome.

Oh no! I am someone!

Wolfram syndrome? It's far too late for half-arsed MEDLINE searches.

After playing bass for 12 years I've finally got 'round to buying some Etymotic ER20s, and I'm pretty impressed. I wish I'd done it earlier though, and started saving for the proper ones.

two weeks pass...

The custom ear plugs are pretty sweet, and I haven't lost them yet.

one year passes...

i started wearing my plugs again recently after not wearing them for awhile. it's hard, last night they made it sound like my backbeat didn't have any meat to it so i was overplaying.

then i took out only the right one for the second set (the stupid loud-ass monitor was on my left) and that helped a lot. then i took out the other one for the third set, and that was dumb.

ten years pass...

I need EARPLUG ADVICE
Prepare to be horrified:
I went to the doctor for a routine physical and discovered that there is a small piece of one of my old earplugs lodged inside my head/ear canal. I have to go see an ENT to pry it out. Not painful (yet) but also -- not cool!

I am desperately ISO advice for earplugs that are
* one piece (none of it falls off inside my ear)
* durable (long lifespan)
* effective (these will be used while I am playing drums)

Suggestions!? Recommendations?

I really like my Ear Peace set - https://www.earpeace.com - I am enjoying loud metal shows much more now! Great for drumming, too, LL!
