Protect Your Ears!
By Leo Gura - December 21, 2023
If you’re doing pickup, if you’re going out to bars and nightclubs, make sure you wear hearing protection. Your ears are precious and you should treat this issue seriously. Protect yourself against hearing loss and the dreaded condition known as tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
It’s worth investing several hundred dollars in ear plugs. Purchase and test out various brands and styles to find ones that fit you best.
Here are three of my favorites:
- Etymotic Research ER20XS
- Alpine WorkSafe Construction Earplugs
- Flents Foam Ear Plugs
(These are amazing for sleeping and wearing around the house.)
(Tip: you can use scissors to cut them down to size to fit you better.)
Here are others I’ve tried but didn’t fit me as well:
- Etymotic Research ER20
- EarPeace PRO Music Ear Plugs
- Alpine MusicSafe Pro
- Earpeace Moto – Motorcycle Ear Plugs
You’re not going to know what fits you best until you try like four different pairs. Don’t be cheap, test out as many pairs as you need.
And once you find your favorite pair, buy multiples of it. You want to have enough pairs lying around so that you’re never caught without them. Put a pair in your jeans. Put a pair in your jacket. Put a pair in your car. And so on.
If you have cash to spend and you live in the USA, you can order a pair of custom-molded earplugs for about $200:
