If It's Too Loud, You're Too Old!
I used to not care about my hearing when I was younger.  I sat in a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert in the first ten rows and couldn't hear correctly for about three days.  I almost got on stage of a Tom Petty Concert.  I was within feet of the stage of a few Dave Matthews Band Concerts.  That was awesome, but only when I was between 18-25 years old.<br /><br />I recently went to a Dream Theater indoor concert (Dream Theater is the best band ever by the way) and decided my precious ears needed a break.  I was thinking about the bumper sticker &#34;If it's too loud, you're too old&#34; and decided to buy these earplugs anyway.  They take the sound down about 18 decibels and don't make the sound too muddy as traditional earplugs do.  I have always wanted to purchase a pair of musician's earplugs but didn't want to drop $150 or so.  This is the best alternative I have found and they're super affordable.<br /><br />I'm not sure if it was the venue or the earplugs, but the bass did sound a little funny, and that shouldn't ever happen when you're listening to John Myung shred on his axe.  There might be better earplugs out there, but I would expect you would have to pay a much higher price.<br /><br />Rock on without permanent hearing damage!  It's a win-win!
