Hello,
I have had tinnitus for over a year now and there is no sign of it stopping. Luckly it's tolerable most of the time. I don't want it to get any worse but I also love going to concerts and what-not. I've been scared to go to concerts for the last year because I don't want this condition to get any worse. I went to a concert with my wife the other night and I tried using earplugs (they were called Hearos with 32 decible NPR). I had a great time because I enjoyed myself but my ears weren't screaming at me after the show. The biggest problem though was that the music sounded a bit muffled. Are there any good earplugs that will lower the noise but keep the music from sounding too muffled?
I have read about earplugs called Etymotics ER-20 that are supposed to do this but after a bit of research I found that they really only lower the volume by about 12 db. Is that enough? What do you guys recommend?
