RE: I don't know about other orchestras, but

All of the ICSOM orchestras, as far as I am aware, and many other smaller organizations, supply the cheap foam earplugs backstage, yes. Also, all ICSOM orchestras would have a set of sound shields, as well. Many people, including myself, strongly dislike the sound shields, though, as they have a big effect on what you are hearing from across the stage, and they are also often in the way, depending on what you are doing. Wearing earplugs also of course even more drastically changes what things sound like. Many musicians do not use them for symphonic subscription concerts for this reason, using them only for pops shows and outdoor concerts. They do have more expensive custom ones made of different materials and fitted to your ear that are supposedly much better, but I personally have not experimented with them yet.
