Reply 		Earplugs whilst practising?????????
Hi I was wondering whether anyone could recomend some earplugs that make things quieter without making things sound different. I've tried wax ear plugs but they distort the sound so that I'm not sure what I'm producing. I know I sound really fussy but my ears are quite sensitive (I'm in agony if I go to a club) and the cello is SO loud. I don't want to ruin my hearing but neither do I want to lose a big sound by playing quietly...any ideas?

You can buy custom musician earplugs from an audiologist or hearing aid dispenser. The plugs are acoustically tuned and offer uniform attenuation. There shouldn't be a change of pitch. Everyone's ear is different so you have to get the earplugs fitted to your ear. They cost over $100.

I found a website this has pics of them and some info.
