Yes, exactly that. Elacin do a special range for aviation use with specific filters for aircraft noise frequencies. Musicians probably require a different filter to remove more ambient noise (maybe Aztruck can comment on that), but the bit that goes into your ear will be the same. They are made to measure (ear filled with a sort of waxy stuff and a mould made). You can hear each other perfectly fine but it does remove the loud ambient noise.
In this business, just like a good pair of sunglasses which are essential, these are essential also if you value your hearing. Just like the special offers in the shops...Once it's gone- it's gone! It may well be the best £164 you spend!
Hope this helps.
