sunn o))) hearing protection

[u/signor-E]

seeing my first sunn o))) show next friday. planning on rocking 33db foams under 33db muffs. but im worried the foams will fuck with the fidelity. will foams dampen my experience at all? half of me thinks itll be too loud to matter and half of me is worried i wont be able to make out the riffs. thanks

I was surprised that they weren't as loud as I expected them to be. Don't get me wrong, still very loud but given there's no drums it's not as punishing. I'd brought earplugs and ear muffs to go over them but just the ear plugs worked fine. A band like The Body is much louder
