hi all, seeing the thread developing about in ear monitors, and thought i would pass on some info: www.ear-responsible.com check out this site...or google search "musician earplugs". i had a local audiologist mold custom earplugs for me when i was playing bass for a pretty loud band. they are awesome. they fit so nice, and don't tend to muddy up the sound as the squishy over the counter one's do. plus, they have variable attenuator filters that you can pop in, like -9db, -15db, and -25db. it ended up that the -9 ones worked pretty good for me, so i could still hear what was happening music-wise. (although i went to a gun firing range once, and the -25db filters were excellent for that!) i wish i had these things ten years ago when i was really smashing my eardrums. anyways...a local audiologist can do the molds, and then they send the molds in for the earplugs to be made. from what i know, these same molds can also be used to make the plug that the in-ear monitors go into, as well. best, rich
