(I have to remember to bring noise cancelling earbuds.)

I carry foam earplugs in my hearing aid case now. Conveniently, the case has some extra space that they fit nicely into. It feels a bit weird to switch from improving my hearing to blocking it, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I started using foam earplugs at live music shows (nothing crazy, jazz and blues) a couple of years ago.  Getting to that age where wisdom finally prevails.  Kevin Hambly, to make this germane, seems to be a jazz/blues guy as well.  I'm sure he sees improvisational parallels between volleyball and music.
