I've noticed that my ears ring a lot after playing and am looking for some hearing protection as I do not want to go deaf at the age of 25. Any suggestions? I'm looking for something that will offer good protection but won't compromise hearing or getting a feel for the band. Thanks

I just use generic Max NRR 33dB earplugs when I'm practicing and I don't use ear plugs at all when I'm playing with a band. It's really hard for me to hear the monitor above my playing. What is the best drum head phones these days?

dude wear protection unless you wanna have titnitus ( ringing in your ears forever)

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
