Re: [Harp-L] Hearing protection

Your audioligist should be able to make some ear molds with changable 
attenuators in them -9    -15   and   -25db.  I've been using them for 13 
years. They take a minut  to get use to (bone conduction) but I set my amp 
with out the plugs then put them in. There worth the xtra
