Same here Paul . plugs help with the music but when folk talk to you , you can't hear them . I wear them at home sometimes as well , it helps. :ohmy:

I used to go to rock clubs in Birmingham in the early 90s. I tell you soul dos are nothing compared to them.

Ear plugs are useful though when some boring bastard is banging on about his knowledge of soul in your ear all night. :ohmy:

Swimming ear plugs are pretty good, cheap and reusable. I need them when i swim because other-wise my ears fill with water for weeks, horrible. They'd be good for nighters though.

Presume you don't live in the UK Kris. Can't usually get earplugs via NHS Audiology here, though could always ring the Audiology department of local general hospital and ask. They have long waiting lists though and would need GP referral.

I got some free when my job required me to accompany someone for a hearing aid/mould fitting. They didn't fully understand the process and were very anxious, so the audio technician 'demonstrated' on me. I still use them for swimming ten years later. As well as keeping water out, they also block out the sound of Capital Radio, which London leisure centres like to torture their punters with. Result!

I've not used them at nighters, because they block too much. And more importantly, they're bright blue, which doesn't always go with my outfit.

Swim plugs are good, or you can buy earplugs from the RNID online shop. Info in my previous post.

I wear hearing aids . Im 100% deaf in one ear and my other isnt too good (genetic probably). I went for a hearing test a few weeks ago and im losing high frequency too but i think thats more to do with age same as you mace . My hearing aids are cross aids . One is a transmitter and other is a reciever and they do help with clarity . If anyone tries them DONT put the transmitter one right next to the reciever one while your wearing it . Like i did with my new ones ,durr. The feedback is horrendous and er deafening lol . Im a right dope sometimes ! :-)

yes sorry, not in the UK. But I did get a GP referral for them after my ear went fuzzy after a night beside a particularly badly placed monitor speak at a gig. Luckily no permanent damage but I learnt my lesson.
