Since the hearing loss threads have come up several times...
What are the best earplugs to get for attending loud concerts? Do any chain stores carry them?
I picked up some Hearos from Guitar Center last night for $15. They only block 12db and they're not really that flat if you look at the attenuation curve on the back of the packaging.
I'd intended to find etymotics but didn't know if anyone sold those locally.
My hearing tested perfect at the audiologist, but I know I've got some reduction since when I was a kid--loud noises used to hurt more than they do now, for instance. Rock concerts still cause me some pain though and I don't like the whole after-concert-can't-hear-each-other-yelling-at-Dennys experience.
