I grab a couple squares of toilet paper and stuff the required amount
into my ears to reach the needed attenuation level and then move it
about to achieve some form of frequency balance. Infinately adjustable
and free at each nightclubs crapper...

Just 2weeks ago I went to David Bowie in Nice, France and I had a
ringing in
the ears for 2 days, though I thought the bass was too low in
volume. It is
already the second DB-concert with bad sound AFAIR.

I deal with PA system concerts with hearing protection. If I enter a
venue,
even a small jazz club and I see a PA system (any electronic
augmentation) I
immediately inser Musician's Ear Plugs. I have 3 attenuation values
(9dB for
small spaces with moderate augmentation of primarily acoustic
performances
("Ruthie Foster, Happy Days Center, Boston Heights Ohio; 15 dB for
the typical
club environment or smaller open-air venues; Lovin' Spoonful @
festival, Susan
Tedeschi @ Clio Ampitheater, Meier Gardens and 25 dB for large rock
concerts
or any autosound event; Sheryl Crow, Simon & Garfunkel for example)

These devices (approx: $120 a pair) feature balanced attenuation and
custom ear
molds. Inquire at Etymotic Research websire or you local
audiologist.
