As promised, here is a recommendation for a decent pair of musician's earplugs that you can purchase that preserve sound quality, while protecting your ears from high noise level exposure. These are less expensive than custom musician's earplugs but are high-fidelity meaning that sound quality is preserved.
This is the one I showed to the classes as an example during the Clark Magnet HS presentations on hearing conservation awareness. They come with a plastic key chain container, which makes it very convenient to carry around with you.

You can buy foam plugs, similar to the ones distributed from any local drugstore.
Remember that "NNR" stands for Noise Reduction Rating. This rating will tell you the potential amount of decibel reduction the earplugs can provide, if worn properly.

Happened upon your blog because I just lost my pair and am looking to replace them. I a week shy of 36, and have a love of live music. As they years have gone on, the shows have gotten louder and louder, and my hearing is the worse for it. I don't recover like I used to, either, and am committed to preserving what hearing I have left. These kinds of ear plugs have changed my concert-going experience for the better; I don't have the ringing in the ears for days after the show anymore, nor do my ears hurt during the show. Get 'em. Use 'em. You'll save your ears.
I liked this blog, i think is very interesting, most of all for the new ideas that this blog talk.
Sounds like a good product for musicians.
