I bought a pair of earasers last year and they barely reduced the sound level at all. I had another pair shipped out for free after claiming they didn't work, and this second pair was also faulty for me.
They seemed to reduce the upper mids a fair amount, Id say between 400Hz-3Khz there was a 6db or so reduction. But above and below that range felt almost unaffected, and overall the level was still painful when I played loud. No where near enough ear protection for a several hour gig.
Just wondering if anyone else has used earasers and has a similar problem with them. I am certain there is no issue with my insertion technique or ability to develop a proper seal. I even plugged the filter hole with blu-tack and the noise reduction was significant, probably around 25db - around that of my triple flange earplugs.
So do people find all earasers to have very little reduction? Interested to hear your experiences.
