There sure are some price differences in Westone 25 db custom made musicians ear plugs. I just picked up my pair last week & they ran me $75. including the fitting by the audiologist. I,m from Michigan if that makes any difference. 5 months ago, I suddenly got a huge earache & by the time I got to the doctor, my eardrum had ruptured. Even though it was a bit rough, I continued tuning & did just fine---I had no complaints. Without going into detail about my experience, I would advise anyone to get to a ear specialist as soon as possible if your ear starts to ache badly. A regular family doctor MAY NOT be good enough. I'm very fortunate to have regained my hearing..Your ears are your livleyhood--treat them well. The special ear plugs were reccommended by my doctor. He stated that a piano tuner should not go without them. In my opinion, we can't afford to be without them regardless of the cost. Jan Otto Chelsea, MI >
