[Trombone-l] earplugs

[Neil DeBoni]

hi everyone,

I just got some Etymotic ER20 earplugs and tried them out in rehearsal.
They're fantastic for the rest of the band, but I'm not so impressed at the
change in what I sound like -- I might as well be plugging my ears with my
fingers.  Very muffled, strange sound.

Has anyone tried the ER20 *and* custom-fit plugs?  Are the custom-fit plugs
any different, in terms of your own sound?

I was planning on getting some custom-fit plugs anyway if I liked the
ER20's, but I'm not so sure I want to spend the big bucks on custom-fit if
they have the same "problem".


Thanks,
Neil
