I thought of you yesterday, as I thought I remembered you had tinnitus. At least we're all in illustrious company...
I actually use earplug headphones now rather than earbuds--they do cancel out a lot of noise, and as a result I'm able to play music much more quietly on my walkman (and sleep way more soundly, perhaps a little too soundly, on the T). I'm trying to figure out what to do about earplugs in general--the custom-molded ones would cost me $130 through my doctor's office, and I'm worried about promptly losing them (or ferrets putting them away in a safe place). The audiologist also told me about the triple-phlange style that run about $15 and said those would be an acceptable option, so I think I might start out with a couple of pairs of those. If I can prove to myself that I won't lose them, then I can graduate on to the expensive ones ;-)
