Hi,

That is some good info thanks!

Best regards

Glad it was useful - I still carry around a set of vater plugs in the car. Feel very uncool when I whip em out at a club/gig, but rather that than suffer from the drummers enthusiastic banging on cymbals.

I had a set of protec-ear ear plugs made for me around 2006.
I went to an audiologist in fourways who took a casting of my ear canal and they then made me a set of custom ear plugs to fit me perfectly.
Protec-ear offer different options for musicians, factory workers and so on.
I told them I was a musician, that I played guitar in a live band and the exact application I would be using the plugs for.


They are perfect. I'd not say they suck tone at all, in fact they attenuate just the right places so that the mix I hear always sounds incredible. It's like having a little sound dude in my head.
I no longer play in a live rock band, but still use my plugs whenever I go to watch bands...and the mix is always better with them in that with them out.

I can not recommend this kind of product more enthusiastically. I think it cost me R700 in total, and I don't regret it for a nanosecond.

I also use them when I work in my workshop, or the Casimi workshop too.

Good and proper convert here.

I've recommended them to friends over the years, and in total around 5 have bought them and they're all just as happy with them as I am.

Thanks alot!
