There is an adage among motorcyclists: The price of your helmet should be directly proportional to the value you place on your head. I think the same adage applies to one's hearing protection, as well. I know this can get very expensive, but I wish I had gotten my ER15's BEFORE both my ears started squealing 24/7! Now, all I can do is try to save what hearing I have left. For rehearsals, I use the ER15 earplugs (and I'm considering getting the 25dB filters). At shows, I use Jerry Harvey JH16 In-ear Monitors. Quite expensive, but TOTALLY worth every cent! I do find that the earplugs separate me from the fun, somewhat, but that adds a little challenge in the rehearsal that disappears at the show because the monitors put the whole band right in my head, which connects me to the music like never before!
