titnitus sounds like a disease for breasts not ears.. hah

anyway, i ordered vic firth isolation headphones the other day.. they reduce sound levels by 22 dB so that should protect your hearing pretty well..

im not a big fan of those squeeze and insert ear plugs.. sure they're cheap and they work but they get dirty easily and it feels like they'd get stuck in my ear hole... also theyre harder to use with headphones or earbuds when you want to play along to music
