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? |
hmm thats interesting. I always wear them before i play a gig so i have full hearing for my set, but i dont put them in afterwards as i figure ive already killed them.
When i saw tiesto at the love parade i noticed he was wearing ear plugs. |

muli, it doesn't work like that. You will kill MORE receptors if you don't put them back in, it's not like there's a quota of receptors you can kill in one evening. ;)

I used to wear earplugs almost everytime i went to Zen cause the volume was just painful but i found i didnt really need it at other clubs, gas has usually been fine (though at Matt Darey - OUCH!), so i havent bothered with it lately, and i dont really think its necessary at Space, the sound is so crisp and clear it avoids the need for the excessive decibels which some clubs seem to think is what really matters....
Might look into getting some of the clear ones though if peeps reckon they dont stuff the sound, the yellow ones just annoy me a bit too much now that ive managed to develop an appreciation for sound quality....

I wear earplugs every time I go out and have done so for some years (people know about it if I've forgotten them cos I get quite upset :()...it's worth it not to have my ears ringing for days afterwards.
I use the disposable foam ones cos my dad gets them free from his work for me :D so unfortunately I can't be much help with brands and prices though. |

As you say, you appreciate quality music/sound. Not wearing earplugs at certain venues("gas has usually been fine (though at Matt Darey - OUCH!), so i havent bothered with it lately, and i dont really think its necessary at Space"), regardless of how good it sounds, it's still going to be damaging your ears due to the volume and the fact it's constant. That's the irony, wasn't saying u don't know good music, coz i know u know i know u know good music :).

"Noise-Induced Hearing Loss results from prolonged exposure to high decibel levels. Over time, the damaged stereocilia begin to die off. As they die, not only will the cochlea fail to transmit the frequency information usually processed by the dead hairs, but the very nerves responsible for carrying the signal die off. The tympanic membrane can become so fatigued by constant exposure that it fails to respond properly to any stimulation." |
