15 = Provides uniform 15 dB sound reduction (attenuation) across frequencies.
The ER-20s provide 20 dB of hearing protection

ah nice im gonna buy some of these $35 ones of that headphones.com.au see how they go |
dependin on how seriously u take ur djin n how often ur playin out
i'd probably suggest custom made plugs
[1] the fact its moulded to the design of ur ear, makes a greater chance of the freq bein evenly reduced. = more accurate reproduction of sound over the spectrum. u'll want to hear everything + that control when u djin.
[2] i remember u use the technics 1210s. small cups, cramped space for the ear. make using those ear plugs that stick out uncomfortable. |

mmm earplugs are the barra. I have used them for about two years now. I used the yellow foam ones for a while and recently bought a pair from a music shop for about $35 which reduce the frequencies much more evenly.
As was said, the yellow ones make the sound really dirty and a lot of clarity in the highs and mids is sacrificed. The ones from an auidologist cost about $300 and i know because I looked into it a while back. I have djed in the $35 ones and have had no problems. When adam freeland played in a few months back he wore the yellow foam ones and was fine.
Like djway said, if you put them in before you go into the club you don't even notice.
Be kind to your hearing. I cannot recommend the wearing of earplugs in nightclubs and raves highly enough. :) |

hmmm....u guys r gettin me worried now :( earplugs are sumthin i've always meant to get around to doin sumthin about....i think u've inspired me to get off my butt and finally do it!! i always thought they'd just make everything muffled.....glad to hear they don't :)
i often wonder if i'm screwing up my hearing the more i go out....all the time i get told "speak quieter, i'm not in the next room u know!!" - but i never know if it's cos of my ears, or cos i'm just a loud-mouth *lol* but, better to be safe than sorry.....ear-plugs, here i come :)
sid, remember our chat the other nite - if ur not careful, u'll end up crazy AND deaf :p :p :p |

Hi Aussie's,
I read in an interview with Tiesto that he wears ear plugs before and after the show but not when he spins, does anyone know what the effects of doing that are? |
