Insono: linear auditive protections
So you like going out for concerts, clubbing, and other nice places to dance like mad on nice groovy music?
The long-term issue with that is that loud music can definitely degradate your auditive capital. Have you ever heard that constant "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" sound after a concert? Sure you have. And it means that it's too late, your auditive capital has already lost a bit of its capital.
Auditive protections are very efficient to avoid this. Unfortunately, with these protections, the sound sucks. You can mainly hear basses and feel the drums, but other frequencies becomes a boring mess.
Here's an amazing product that will save your audition and keep the music as good as without any protection.
French company Insono has earplugs called http://insono.fr/earplugs.html, featuring linear attenuation. The sound is just as it is, just attenuated.
EUR 140 for a pair of earplugs can sound expensive. But not for something that can save your ears. Don't forget that once your auditive capital is degradated, it will never recover.
I'm now 30, I had a very sharp pair of ears 10 years ago. But after a lot of DJ'ing, clubs, parties, concerts, I now realize that I've lost a lot of my audition abilities. Trust me, it's not fun, moreover when I realize that it's too late, and that earplugs could have saved that. And now I would give 100 times the price of a pair of earplugs if there was a way to recover my audition. If only it was possible.

Looks like they are re-selling these:

P.S. If you’re a dj, aren’t you in control of the sound level?

Hey Frank
Another broken link…The link: http://insono.fr/earplugs.html actually links to: http://00f.net/2007/Pianissimo. I’m guessing your link got mixed up with the link text.
Might be worth doing a quick scan of your posts to see if this has happened elsewhere as I pointed out on another post. Or maybe its not the software that’s the problem but the blogger :|
Now I see! You’re over 30 now (hehe – I can remember receiving abuse from you for being old/over30), maybe its not just your ears that are starting to go :)
