I'm also interested. My work provides moulded ear plugs, but they definitely don't let the same range of frequencies through.

I have molded plugs, the filters are etymotics. Cost was about 200$ at an audiologist that did the molding. You can get filters with varying levels of attenuation, I think mine are 20db and they recommend 25 for drummers.

I had etymotic musicians earplugs before, but they never worked that well. I couldn't understand lyrics with them in, for instance. But I can with these.

Thanks! $200 sounds expensive but probably very worth it to save you from tinnitus or from going deaf.

Too late on the tinnitus, but at least it doesn't seem to be getting worse. Lost count of how many concerts and even movies I've used them in by now.
