What about ears.

Yudishtira · 14th June 2007, 09:23 PM

How to be sweet to our ears. What can we do if there was a club too loud, or a pesky french horn in a bad acoustic. What can we do for them for normal maintenance. Googled but found little or nada....

I bought these several years ago: Etymotic Research, Inc. - Musicians Earplugs

I use them when playing live, or at concerts or clubs. I prefer them greatly to the typical foam earplugs. Kinda expensive, but after all this is the high end forum

I wear these everywhere I expect to encounter an extreme amount of air molecules colliding against each other:

Advanced Musician's Ear Plug

I use the cheap foam disposable "Hear-Os" that you can get at any phramacy.

I've been to clubs where the band and the audience were all wearing them. Seems the only person who wasn't was the FOH mixer dude, who was obviously fried. I often feel like bringing in an SPL meter and telling the guy to keep it under 95...what's the point?

But what to do 'after' unexpected or anticipated sound?

Avoid further loud noise until your ears can recover. If ringing or deafness persists, see an audiologist.

Damn those pesky french horns! Why can't they play in tune...?

I feel there's some justice in the fact that the person who suffers the most from the horns in an orchestra is...

...the drummer!

Dont drink alcohol in loud environments - clubs etc. When drunk your ears dont protect themseves like they should.

You bunch of ninnies, have you listened to the radio lately? We don't need ears!

Using your ears is so '90s..................
