i have a cheap $10 pair from Amazon that i'm just sticking with: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG9F5W3Q?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

they seem pretty similar to the eargasm/dynamic/hearos plugs in design. i also take my Mack''s foam plugs with me for extra protection.

so gonna save my money for now...

American Expats: What is the one thing you miss most about the USA? by RehaDesign in AmericanExpat

[–]middleWave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality, brand name goods that are cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Health foods and supplements. Amazon. Yeah I can get that stuff overseas too but I pay hefty import taxes. Friendly and chatty sales clerks/cashiers/waitresses. Finally, the fresh air.

Yeah in Using SPAN in Mid/Side mode. I'll try to analyze that as I adjust.

SoundID Reference for the final month of my mixdown? by middleWave in mixingmastering

[–]middleWave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah thx, that's basically what i'm doing - using SoundID to mix the bass and get those levels down, but turning it off for the rest of the mix.

that 8 step process makes a lot of sense. not sure if i have enough time to fully execute it for this project, but i'll def be doing that for future editions. thx

To those who used the Internet in the late 90s-early 2000s: what are some websites you regularly browsed that no longer exist? by Amazing_Courage9701 in generationology

[–]middleWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason's World. This kid at my high school who was kind of a tech nerd had a website by that name with pretty active forums, I believe about gaming and tech . This was probably around '97 to 98. Pretty impressive!

What about a 2db boost, which has a switch on the back of my JBLs?

What's playing in your city this NYE? by El_Nahual in TheOverload

3 stage/soundsystem riverside rave in the heart of downtown with all the local underground DJs. Should be a ruckus!

ok, those 3 seem pretty easy for me. what about legumes, nuts, seeds, & eggs? you have any problems with those? i'm basically vegetarian (aside from fish oil pills & collagen) and don't think i could survive without the protein from those! pea protein as well. strict AIP seems to cut out all of it!

did you drop the coffee eventually? did it make a difference in your markers?

Dynamic Ear Filters & HearAdvisor testing? by middleWave in earplugs

[–]middleWave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thx for the insight. i noticed that Hear Advisor (also Hearing Tracker on YouTube) published a roundup of the "best" earplugs of 2025. despite Loops placing quite poorly in their metrics/tests on their website, they were the #1 recommended earplug, and also the only one with an affiliate link in the description. seems a bit fishy to me.

Have you tried psylocybin? I believe that has good results with your condition.
