I just went to an audiologist today and she recommended "Rock Stars II", a custom fit thing with changeable filters varying in attenuation (at 125 decibles) from 3.3 all the way to 28.0. There are five filters, plus total closure. They can be turned toward the source, or away. Expensive little hummers, though! I have some mild hearing loss, probably due to construction work, flying private planes for several years, and probably just a bit from tuning..... Regarding tuning noise, I heard a local tech tune yesterday QUIETLY. Seldom a test blow, but the tuning was tight, solid, and exquisite. Leslie Bartlett M. Mus lesbart@juno.com
