Someone will have to explain the difference between these and your average hearing aids, which perform a very similar function, but tuned by an audiologist to your needs.
Do hearing aids allow someone who is not deaf to tune out ambient noise (active noise cancellation)? Looks like these might do that.

see my other comment. I wish they didn't start by forcing you to have tinnitus to begin with. I'd use foam inserts if they were given out at concerts and clubs etc - but not if I'm the only one bringing them with me, that's ridiculous. tinnitus is caused by people listening to music that is too loud. Music is too loud at most venues, if you are standing where you are meant to. EDIT: people don't like this comment, an…
My tinnitus is hereditary, from my father's side. I have a constant ringing that my mind usually filters out unless I think about it, but some nights it can be pretty "loud". I quote the word because I can hear even the slightest sounds like the ticking of a watch in another room in complete silence, while at the same time being overwhelmed by the ringing. I had a hearing test done a couple years ago at a neurologica…
I really wish someone was working to solve the problem of tinnitus. Would it be possible to generate anti phase wave out of these things to cancel out tinnitus? I would pay anything and/or wear any goofy device in my ears to live life tinnitus free.

Perhaps that's the scene (metal, northern Europe). Most venues will sell for 1EUR, or give away, free foam plugs, but most people have better ones.

An interesting side note is that you could 'hear' a very high pitched sound when using the device even though 50kHz is far outside the standard human hearing range. We still are not sure but think we were hearing a lower harmonic of the tone bouncing around the skull.
OT: I've seen an error page when opening it for the first time: PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /var/app/current/hearphones/includes/lock.inc). Reloading once made it work. Out of curiosity, is this an amost-hug of death or something else broken? (I know nothing about Drupal.)

> I was with my husband at Smokey Bones
What is that?
> …The room was very noisy as it always is there because they have tv's going and lots of music and people always talk much louder to compensate for the noise.
I'll let this one slide
> I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to hear the server without any extra effort order my meal with smooth going.
With smooth going eh?
> My husband and my conversation was not strained
Glad to hear your husband were comfortable

I've learned that it is just necessary to bring foam earplugs to a lot of events. (even movie theaters now). In general, if the performers are wearing them, you probably should be, too. Your health is not a good place to think about being worried about what other people aren't doing to protect theirs.
You should look into something like these instead of regular foam. http://www.etymotic.com/consumer/hearing-protection.html I got a pair for EDC after realizing the foam earplugs were ruining the music. These reduce the volume with minimal muffling. Also pretty cheap considering they'll last a long time. I picked them up at guitar center - they can help you get the right ones.

Moral of the story: don't hit the database for brochure pages, except in an async way that won't block page loads on fail.
