[QUOTE="David Karol, post: 7215, member: 3"] I purchased a set of [URL="http://www.sensaphonics.com/?p=331"]custom-mold Sensaphonics earplugs[/URL] back in 2010. The molds were made at [URL="http://www.northeastern.edu/bouve/slpa/speechcenter.html"]Northeastern University's Audiology Clinic[/URL]. I opted for -15dB filters at the time. Now (3 years later), they're not sealing anymore. A lot of low end bleeds through. I had another set of molds made, and the Audiologist recommended using [URL="http://www.microsonic-inc.com/index2.php?section=17"]Microsonic[/URL] instead of Sensaphonics. The clinic has some sort of partnership with Microsonic, and could offer a better price with them. The filters are the same (Etymotic ER), so I had no objection. What is everyone using for filter levels? I went with -15dB this time around too, but they mentioned I could swap filters at no charge for the next month. Has anyone used the -25dB filters? I should mention that I'll rarely, if ever use the earplugs while mixing. [/QUOTE]
