For about $250 you can get fitted with a professional set of earplugs. They
cut out the frequencies that will fuck with your hearing, while still
allowing you to hear what you're listening to pretty well. They don't have
the same muffled effect that the store bought ones do. They basically make a
mold of your ear so they fit really well, and if you're a DJ you can get
them specially made to not protrude out of the ear (ie. so you can wear
headphones over top without the headphones pressing the earplug into your
ear). Well worth the investment in the long run.
