Try http://www.etymotic.com/ The ER-20's are relatively inexpensive and should suit you. b.s. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2002 22:28:58 -0600 From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: Re: [loud-fans] plexi baffles Quoting Tim Walters : > John Sharples wrote: > > I still have that, but my hearing is degraded in other > > ways--in conversation I have trouble distinguishing what people are > > saying if there is other ambient noise, more than I used to.

Already suggested: "Brother Louie". Any > others? There's a terrific song by Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers called "Does Your Mama Know About Me". I have it on the box set "Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971"; I don't know if it's available anywhere else, although I believe the Motown box should be in every home anyway. Interesting side note: this song was co-written by Tommy Chong (of Cheech & Chong), who was a member of this band. Far out, man.
