ER musician's filters

[John Ross]

Hi Marcel,
I use Hi-Fi earplugs ER-20, that I got from Pianotek. I can't find them in
their catalogue. The write up that came with them says music is heard
clearly, and high frequency speech sounds are not muffled.
I believe they are rated as being 12db and the cost was under $20 US.
At Providence I went for the ear test and saw the custom ear plugs. The 15db
ones were expensive, and did not look that comfortable.
I find the Pianotek ones comfortable and they do the job.
I think Andre Bolduc runs a Canadian division of Pianotek.
Regards,
John M. Ross
