Learsfool,
Thanks for this very useful information. I have worn earplugs for 35 years. In the 1960s and 1970s I could be seen at concerts with my fingers in my ears -- Sly and the Family Stone and others. I walked out of a Smokey Robinson concert in the 1970s when I forgot my ear plugs and did not wish to have my fingers in my ears for the duration. As a result of having protected my hearing all my life, I can now hear 16,000 Hertz and am able to enjoy the most delicate sounds of my music system -- at moderate listening levels.
