Enough Protection I'm a young drummer, been drumming for about four years now, and I practice constantly. I also have a band, we practice a ton too. My question is do I have enough protection? I am very concerned about hearing loss, I always wear ear plugs, never listen to my ipod too high, and and I'm always careful. Since I do lots of gigging, I purchased my own Westone UM2 in ears with removable cable, being such a hearing protection addict, I also got custom in ear molds to go on the tip of my in ears. These probably keep out about 26 db. I had Vic Firth isolation head phones the keep out 22 db, but I found my in ears to keep out more sound, so I've been using them. I've had no ringing of any sort. So my question is, is 26 db enough??? I usually practice two hours a day will a couple breaks. So should these be enough, or yeah? |
