Hi all-
I'm looking to buy ear plugs- particularly musician plugs with filters. I've read all good reviews on Westones and Sensaphonics and will most likely be going with one of those two. Regardless, I am reaching out with a question regarding filter strength. I play in a few bands- from jazz, to acoustic rock, to dance/party. My biggest concern is the dance/party band where I am doing quite a bit of backing vocal. Does anyone have any experience and/or suggestions on the right type of filter (9, 15 or 25 DB) to use in the plug so that I can hear my vocal blend with the others- and at the same time protect my ears? I have been diagnosed with noise induced tinnitus and am really concerned with ensuring I protect my ears at the right level so that I don't do any more damage. But at the same time, I want to make sure I can hear what I need to (vocals and drums) so I can contine to play with my bands and sound good.
