Can wholeheardedly recommend the above.
So am I right in thinking that the ER-20s will not ruin the sound too much?

And whilst not wishing to cast aspersions on the OP there is something fundamentally wrong with the statement that we use cheap earplugs which makes us sound muffled and rubbish to paraphrase his original question. The problem isn’t with the earplugs.
That statement was an attempt at wit The sad truth is that you are probably right.
Anyway, the Er-20's seem pretty well suited to our current needs, and we're happy with them for now.
I went to the Herts jam yesterday in a practice room with drummer and @guitartango s marshall which he could skin a man from 50 paces with if he was so inclined, and I still appear to have most of my hearing, no ringing or 'concert hiss' or anything.
I think I'm lucky to play in a band with a quiet drummer!
Once your hearing's gone - that's it! There's nothing that's going to bring it back to the quality that mother nature gave you. And in between times you may end up having to suffer tinnitus, which can lead to mental health issues.
I have 2 family members that have profound hearing loss, one of which is a sibling - who worked part time at a concert hall back in the mid 1970's, when bands could turn up the volume as loud as they liked.
Both family members now wear hearing aids in both ears. These devices cost over £1000 a pair, and have to be changed every few years. Eventually both will lose all of their hearing - my sibling has been advised to start lip reading lessons sooner rather than later.

Do yourself a favour and get yourself a decent set of attenuators - for the price of a half decent stompbox!
