This might not be the proper area for this question, sorry. I am having trouble with hearing protection. Even when my band plays quite, it is still loud enough to do hearing damage and give me that annoying ringing in my ears, especially those drums!i have tried using plain old ear plugs, and even some 16 dollar plugs that claimed you could still hear all of the tone and nuances, just quiter, but these didnt work. When i wear any of these, I cant hear my back up vocals or get a good feel for the music. I really cant afford anything over 125$ - Does any one have any advice for me(besides play quiter!)thank you
