Earplugs?

Ironic Namesake · 10 Jun 2006 at 15:32

Can anyone recommend me some good quality earplugs (not cheapo disposable ones) ? I'm getting annoyed with having ringing in my ears for a few days after going out

Thanks

Richer sounds used to sell them, not sure if they still do.

Is there anything specific I need to be looking out for when buying them? I rarely use the ones they give out free in clubs , can hear the music clearer and OK when speaking to people too , just want some I can keep and take with me - going to Drum n bass nights 1-3 times per week without them isn't doing my ears any favours

find the wax type ones are good they mold to fit your ears better than foam. think I got mine in boots

No, you just didn't clean your ears for 3 weeks.

I can recommend Elacin ER20 earplugs. They're comfortable and lower the volume but you can still hear everything clearly. I also find it makes talking to people on the dancefloor much easier. A couple of weekends ago i was clubbing for over 14hours and suffered no ringing in my ears what-so-ever when i finally got some sleep.

Quite a few places stock them but google around to find the cheapest. They'll set you back roughly £12

£12, sounds good

Got a feeling I will end up damaging my ears if I carry on like this without earplugs

Get some ear plugs !

I found it alright with out them for a bit, but for about 6 months I've been going to dnb nights 1-3 times a week, each time they seem to be ringing for longer after (especially on a Valve night!)

Don't want permanent damage to my hearing

if you want to protect your earing then get some good earplugs but also you need some good headphones on top, like these ones - 28db noise reduction rating - used in shooting ranges
