Hey All,
I had a brief chat with Amir about testing out some hearing protection on his headphone rig.
He showed us that he can measure IEM's now, so hearing protection should be doable as well. He could measure a set of headphones, put in the hearing protection and re-measure to see the changes.
Some claim to be fairly level attenuation without changing the way we hear.
Example: Etymotic 20xs hearing protection:

Amir said he has the etymotic's but would be willing to test others as long as they are sent to him. I am willing to send him some to see the results, but not 100% sure what others have tried and had good results with. I don't want to waste money on "hifi" hearing protection that we know isn't good.
Some other's claiming to be hi-fidelity:
Hearos High Fidelity musicians ear plugs.
