u/Internal-Raise-1728

I’m a brass player currently playing Mahlers first with an orchestra. The piece is great but rehearsals in the brass section can get excruciating because of the very very loud finale. I tried traditional earplugs but they kill all the resonance. Is there a better solution for ear protection? I can notice that playing shostakovich 5 already did some damage and i know that i can’t continue playing my whole life without any protection.
