Ear Plugs

[930clubber]

i'm still feeling my ears from last night's VHS or Beta show.  this despite my NRR 30+ foamies. anybody have experience with the ER-20s or custom fit ER-25s or something else effective?

i live by my etymotics, love'em, they're my constant concert buddies.  they're comfy, easy to put in and sound a bzillion times better than foam earplugs.  one of the wiser $12 purchases you'll ever make.  anything else i can tell you?
 
 someday i'll spring for the custom fit.  hum, xmas *is* coming up...

I'll second those ER's.
 
 
 Pretty sure you recommended them to me, actually.

I have 'em too, they're quite good.  Get 'em  here.

Love them as well. I can hear everything perfectly and not have any ringing the next day.

in theory, the foamies should provide better protection than the er-20s but in practice i think i am not jamming the foamies into the ear far enough.
 
 the er-20s look more ergonomic and no one here is complaining about hearing symptoms the next day, so they must work.
 
 i will get a pair or two.  what color should i choose?

order them directly through www.etymotics.com, something like $12 a pair plus a few bucks shipping.

... and the un-deaf.  or at least those who can still hear above 10kHz.

my latest pair are (caucasian) skin-toned, i chose that color in hopes that it makes them less obvious.  good call on grabbing two pairs. personally i can never find small things like that when it matters, so having two pairs doubles my chances of finding them (and making it to the show on time).

I just couldn't let the conversation continue any longer without stealing your line...

they also can cause an unnatural build-up of earwax, which can lead to damaging pressure against the eardrum, if worn too much.
 
 is california still the state of dreams?

i buy the foamies in bulk and stuff them in a pocket of every jacket and pair of slacks.
 
 i found a place that sells ER-20s in bulk, 50 pairs for $340, $7.40 a pair.  group order?  j/k

I bought my friend a a pair of earloves and he likes them.  Still haven't bought a pair for myself.  I use the foam ones I get for free at work.
