(Part 2) Best earplugs according to redditors
We found 2,333 Reddit comments discussing the best earplugs. We ranked the 330 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 21-40. You can also go back to the previous section.
I use a different Howard Leight (these ones) to sleep and they're great. They've kept me from murdering a snoring husband! I've also used them shooting and on job sites with great success.
You can also use them a whole hell of a lot longer than the squishy moldable ones
If you have a pair of earbuds you really like, buy some of this or a reasonable facsimile and insert the buds, sans tips, into the plugs while they're setting. Once it sets, cut or drill a hole. Bam, inexpensive custom earbuds.
ok let's calm down, one at a time
>I've been just walking around by myself, eating by myself, going to class by myself, sitting in class by myself
totally normal, in uni it's actually a hassle to get other people to eat/walk with you because everyone have different schedule
>my living conditions are near hellish. I have a double room in REV and my roommate is someone who loves parties.I wake up approximately 10 times a night
This is pretty serious, you can't study if you don't sleep, try earplugs? I've used those ones and they do wonders
Now you know mayyyybe res is not a good choice, which is why most upper years live off-campus
>I am in all three advanced math/cs courses which I'll drop down from on Monday
If you feel you can't handle it, then drop down to the 135 version, there is NO shame in dropping down, in fact props to you for going 145 in the first place
>Lastly the food. I've tried Shawerma Plus, Paninos, Subway (in SLC), V1 cafe so far and it all tastes sort of bad. I also feel guilty because it's so expensive but anything less than a combo meal and I don't feel full.
newsflash: almost all on-campus food are literally garbage, if you want better food go to plaza or do grocery shoping and cook it yourself
some old posts about what to get in plaza: 1 2 3
I also have misophonia, so I'm approaching this with such a perspective at the forefront of my mind in terms of the issue of noise. I don't know how much you've shared with your fiance about misophonia, or how supportive he is, but at least in the instance of these game nights, he sounds pretty unsupportive. It's completely understandable that he wants to spend time with his buddies and have fun, but it seems completely reasonable to have them be a little more quiet while they do so, even if drinking is involved. Also, like others have already said, the twelve-hour session seems excessive. I don't know how anyone would want to sit at a table for that long! Since he's interested in having a second session, perhaps a possible compromise would be two shorter sessions twice a week? Finding a reason to get out of the house for these sessions would be great, too...
If you are interested in some generic advice for dealing with noise levels, I recommend Mack's silicone earplugs - they're the best earplugs for blocking noise comfortably that I've discovered. It won't block out everything, but it'll work better than the foam ones from the dollar store. I also recommend noise-cancelling headphones - Bose seems to be the most popular brand among us misophonics, but I use ones by Sony that also work well. They won't block out everything, and the music will still need to be a little loud, but it makes a large notable difference in the amount of sound leaking through for myself.
Last year a buddy and I took a 1300 mile trip around Colorado /r/dualsport ride on a Husqvarna 701 and a Yamaha WR250R. Here's a photo of the gear from last year.
This year we are adding one person (riding a monster, brand new, KTM 1090 Adventure R) to the crew and moving a little farther west to see some of the amazing sites in Utah. I put together a 1500 mile route, and will tack on White Rim Trail (if we can get passes) and wander around in Beef Basin for a bit.
A few of my friends have started using Polar Steps, so I've setup a trip and will try to keep it updated. I also maintain a simple website and will post photos on my flickr account.
Now, on to the fun, because sorting out gear and packing is half the fun of a /r/motocamping trip.
I'm involved in volunteer search and rescue (/r/searchandrescue) so a lot of this gear comes from my callout pack and extended incident command packs. The more experienced riders will notice that I'm lacking any tools, spares, tube slime, etc. I'm fortunate enough to be riding with 2 other riders that are packing all that jazz.
Two mottos:
motorcycle
navigation
photgraphy
medical and hygiene

sleeping
inclement weather
food
motorcycle
clothing

get a box of earplugs and wear them
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001426BZQ
they're cheap so if you're going riding, just use fresh ones and bring an extra pair. You'll have more fun riding because you won't get tired as quickly and you'll protect your hearing (which can't be fixed once you break it)
edit: any music or navigation/communication is better handled by speakers in your helmet. In-ear headphones and such will just get jostled/loose and they don't block out the wind noise effectively
I started to wear these while motorcycling, which work well if used properly. Then I realized that there are lots of other opportunities to gradually damage your hearing, like inside of a server room, so now I always have a couple with me in my bag. You can't listen to music, but they're less bulky and you can always have them with you.
try better ear plugs (there are hundreds of kinds) muffs won't do crap, especially if you are a side sleeper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LC3FIAK
these are my fav; https://www.amazon.com//dp/B000BYAP7I
and i reuse the same pair for a few nights.
I prefer disposable.
http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-LPF-1-Uncorded-Earplugs/dp/B000RMFGGY/
I bring extra earplugs (the decent kind)
These to be specific. They're not quite Earlove XO or Eargasm, but theyre leaps and bounds better than crap foam ones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DZF7T6/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
my dude u should wear hearing protection to every concert. Hearing loss and tinnitus is not worth it. U can buy specialized concert ear plugs that don’t actually make the audio sound worse but makes high volume sounds less piercing and you can still hear things at low volumes.
UPDATE: added faceplates: http://imgur.com/ddkg1Ub w/ my initals and channel marking
I made these with the radians kit:
https://www.amazon.com/Radians-CEP001-Custom-Molded-Earplugs/dp/B003A28P4I
Simply follow the instructions (I used half as much material as they said I should, as 1) I have small ears, 2) much of the extra material is being taken up by the IEM)
Then put a cotton wad in the sound tube of the IEMs (to prevent material from going in)
Put IEM's in (without eartip) after inserting putty into ears.
Wait 10 min to cure. Remove from ears and drill out sound tube.
Cut the tube to length. The longer it is the more bass you have, and it attenuates the highs. Shorter is more neutral. I cut them short.
Overall the comfort went up 200%
My right ear must be funny because the seal wasn't as good with both IEM's on that side. I fixed it by using some silicone sealant and a paintbrush to adjust the fit.
Works great and I recommend trying it if you have $10.
Howard Leight by Honeywell Max... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RMFGGY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have these out to guys on show site. Cheap, comfortable, and effective!
This is the right advice: what you need is good ear plugs and a white noise machine. Not all ear plugs are created equal, I highly recommend these:

I have this noise machine, and it works great at drowning out traffic/ambient noise. I find it works well in conjunction with the earplugs:

Yea. I actually hear the throttling better because wind noise is blocked out. These will last you a while.

> but bring some ear protection
Yeah! Seriously! I use these for instance.
If you want absolute silence there's a product that's synonymous with that here in Germany: Ohropax. They're wax earplugs. And they're one of those products that just work.
Apparently you can get them in the US through importers and even Amazon. (Assuming that's where you are).
I got you fam
https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-Tri-Flange-Corded-Reusable-Earplugs/dp/B000DZF7T6/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1482602300&sr=8-11&keywords=peltor
Honestly, ear plugs are going to be your best (and cheapest) solution. You can get 200 pairs for $20.
These ones will block out practically all sound. For me the problem is that they are a bit uncomfortable and they also block out audible alarm clocks.
These are the ones that I settled on. They are perfect because they are low density, so I can't feel them at all when I am wearing them. They block out 90% of noises, but still let my audible alarm clock through.
When I use the first earplugs I linked, I use this alarm clock that vibrates the bed, that way I don't have to worry about hearing the alarm. It also works wonders.
(Note: If you think you can't sleep with earplugs in, please try the green ones. I need everything to be very specific/comfortable or I can't fall asleep, and I don't notice that I'm wearing the green ones at all.)
Foam earplugs are really cheap! They will block out a lot of the volume but you will still be able to hear the music and instructor (if they are mic-ed). Like these: https://www.amazon.com/Flents-Quiet-Please-Plugs-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C/ref=sr_1_5?crid=31CNB8NICL3LL&keywords=foam+ear+plugs&qid=1573046046&sprefix=foam+ear%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-5
I highly suggest earplugs. I am a light sleeper and noises from neighbors would drive me batty (even when not trying to sleep). I bought these from amazon and they have been a life saver Flents Quiet Please Ear Plugs (50 Pair) NRR 29 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001J4HB1C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_v5HUDbGV8X6DJ
Hi yunoo! As a first time metal concert goer I think it's important to let you know that metal concerts are LOUD! So loud that they can induce temporary and/or permanent hearing damage. I highly recommend some musician grade ear protection. I use these but they don't have to be these, just something like them:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MEE876O/
They don't muffle the sound, it's just like turning down the volume. Have fun at the show!
Since I didn’t see any links to purchase any of these ‘acoustic earplugs’ I did some research on my own:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P2NTVPA/ref=pd_aw_lpo_267_tr_img_2/143-8274802-1902140?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9N8617F0E5PVG677M9GN
Seem to be the top rated on amazon. Thoughts, anyone who owns?
Das klingt genau nach dem was ich suche. Ich poge auf Konzerten gerne mal und dann wäre es schon schön, wenn die Dinger optimal im Ohr kleben.
Ich habe mir gerade diese hier bestellt: https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B00REB9VTO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Wo müsste ich denn hin um mir solche Stöpsel wie von dir erwähnt anfertigen zu lassen? Kannst du irgendetwas empfehlen?
Yep! https://www.amazon.com/EarPeace-Concert-Ear-Plugs-Protection/dp/B076VTXWBP
Has a case and one order comes with three earplugs in case you lose one. Pretty handy!
I have a few solutions to this as i myself have gone to the extremes on sleep deprivation at lib. Here are a few game changers that made a world of difference.
Be creative and innovative with these as they can look really cool too! Your tent will be dramatically more comfortable all day.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LZN0KGB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526521307&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=survival+blanket&psc=1
They come in multi packs to save money. Also if you have extra, im sure your neighbors will appreciate it greatly if you donate a few. The only drawback is the noise, so ensure you address this. Installing them on the inside of your tent is also an option.

I go to tons of concerts! These are exceptional not only for being FRONT ROW! but amazing for sleep as well. They are inexpensive and worth every dollar, and super comfortable!
Onnit new mood!

Take these before bed. Such a great balanced formula and one of the best regenerative items ive found yet!
Nuff said

We discovered these and theyre awesome! We wet them down at the water stations which are everywhere throughout Lib. They feel amazing in the sun and in a wierd way are kinda fun, idk. Lol
Make sure you keep these all cool and dry.
I recommended a cooler scenario in another sub, but ill repeat it here.
Dry ice in your cooler is the best way to refrigerate all weekend that i have found, minus actually having a refrigerator.
Tip: careful with dry ice as it can burn you and mess up your cooler if not prepared properly. Wrap it in brown paper to prevent direct contact with the sides and bottom of your cooler. Also, if you put actual ice around the dry ice this works too. We got a solid 3 days of awesome cooler performance this way. Cover your cooler during the day with the above mentioned mylar blankets for even better performance.
I hope this helps. Unfortunately I can't be at LIB this year, so this post helps me cope with said situation.
I have many other pro tips if anyone is interested so hit me up
Love you LIB!
They don't even need to be disposable. Plugs like these may even save you some money. Do yourself a favor and avoid plugs like these though. The ones with the curved flanges do not work as well as the ones with the flat flanges.
Vater - my friend picked them out for me and I don't have the green holding cord. I stick the whole case in my pocket for shows, open it for security (never an issue), and rock them for the show. Probably not the BEST on the market, but my ears are protected and I can still enjoy the show.
I would check if his school provides a stethoscope. Mine did. A lot of my friends got secondary stethoscope but it just sits in their closet.
As stupid as this sounds - it's the little things that are appreciated
If you wanna do a basket of small things
These are the ones I use. Macks Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs Value Pack, 6-Count (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CKCX9K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_heqpybQCQH9Q6

Ditto.
Anytime you shoot indoors, double up on ear protection, plugs and muffs.
Buy these: http://www.amazon.com/3M-OCS1135-Yellow-Neons-Earplugs/dp/B008MCUOH2
and these: http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-03318-Leightning-Shooters/dp/B001DZX86O/
Electronic ear protection is nice but it's not necessary and, often, electronic ear muffs have lower NRRs. More pricey too.
After watching a video from fortnine, ended up buying the nonoise plugs
https://www.amazon.com/Nonoise-Motor-Generation-Ceramic-Filter/dp/B00EDHWELY
If i am not listening to music i wear these, they are pretty great.
I tappi su misura sono per i professionisti che hanno bisogno di abbattere il rumore di una quantità specifica e in modo bilanciato su tutte le frequenze (in due parole: musicisti e fonici). Costano un occhio della testa, tipo almeno 100€ a salire. Se non te ne frega dei suoni e vuoi solo isolarti dal mondo, i tappi usa e getta vanno da dio. Se li custodisci bene nella loro scatolina non si sporcano e durano molto di più. Ce ne sono vari tipi:
NB: ti sconsiglio di lavarli, è inutile.
Se vuoi passare a un modello professionale io ho questi, sono tappi per musicisti e hanno tre livelli di tappamento. Tappano comunque meno del missile colorato (appunto perchè l'idea è tappare in modo omogeneo) ma tappano abbastanza da rendere difficile capire cosa dicono le altre persone in sala. Si possono anche lavare e costano sicuramente meno di farseli fare su misura.
p.s. non si chiamano veramente "a missile colorato", li ho sempre chiamati così ma a quanto pare si chiamano sparkplugs.
I've started wearing clear ear plugs one ear at a time. Cubicle setting with some super extroverts. My life is so much better.
Ich kann die hier empfehlen: https://www.amazon.de/Alpine-PartyPlug-Geh%C3%B6rschutz-Konzerte-transparent/dp/B00REB9VTO/
eargasm (normal size)
eargasm (small size)
Once you get these, you’ll know why they’re called that. The best ones that I’ve ever used. :)
I use these and will never use anything else. Very comfortable, fit nicely inside the helmet, 33 decibel rated and cheap.
Howard leights plus rubber ear plugs when shooting any rifle.
These pretty much
I use these. The only issue I have with them is that the cord breaks off right at the earplug and when that happens it's a lot more difficult to get the plug out of your ear.
Spark Plugs. Way better than anything you can get at a drugstore.
That is like the only Winkeyless model I would consider using.
​
Buy https://www.amazon.com/Flents-Quiet-Please-Plugs-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C?th=1 and place a post-it note: "take two if you have noise complaints."
I take these everywhere.
I just picked them up at a local music store just so I had some hearing protection. I can't go to concerts any more without hearing protection. There is so much more clarity in the sound, cuts out a lot of the echo especially in smaller venues.
You can hear people talking way clearer through the loud volumes as well. No ear ringing afterwards.
The only thing I find is that I don't like taking them out of my ears until I am right out of the venue. I saw Muse in a small club in NYC last year, and I took the ear plugs out at the end of the gig while it was clearing out. It was completely over whelming to hear all the background noise again.
Always bring earplugs to dubstep shows... feeling dat bass vibrating through your body without it hurting your ears feels absolutely amaaaazinggggg
These are my personal choice.
I use these guys. They come in a box with a jillion of them with each pair sealed in plastic for not very many dollars. They're a little bit smaller than typical foam plugs so they fit well inside the ear and are so soft and comfortable that I don't feel them at all even on hour+ commutes. I wear each pair for a week or two usually (daily use) by which point they get a little dirty from my hands and I replace them. They would last much longer than that but I like having a nice clean set in my ears and why not.
Welcome to the world of not having long-term hearing loss and tinnitus! Just because you were used to the sound level before doesn't mean it wasn't damaging your hearing. Maybe I take it a little more seriously than most because I've spent a lot of time and money having my ears/hearing surgically repaired at one point so they're something of an investment to me, but trust me when I say the only people that don't care about long term hearing damage are people that have ever experienced being deaf. It fucking sucks (sorry deaf people.)
I bought a box of these earplugs and the earmuffs you linked; they work great together, and I won't run out of earplugs for a LONG time! I highly recommend doubling up like 300blackoutdrunk suggested.
What is the consensus on IEM over this sub? I've been reading a bunch of different opinions on Shure SE215 earplugs and I don't want to make a huge investment if they don't fit well. Also I saw these NoNoise plugs but what stops me of buying the Shure plugs is the fitting.
These Ear Plugs are what I use. I wore these through Miku Expo 2016 and a Grateful Dead Cover Band Show. I was able to get good fidelity and had no problems with tinnitus. Just gotta get the right colored piece in for the right show.
Wegen Gehörschutz wurden z.B. Hier die Alpine MusicSafe Pro empfohlen
I have two words for you.. Ear Plugs.
And before you say something about not being able to wear them at work, you can and should purchase some near invisible, low profile versions such as these: https://www.amazon.com/EarDial-Ear-Plugs-Comfortable-High-Fidelity/dp/B00P2NTVPA ..or one of many others.
'Tough love' time: There is no reason to think of yourself as helpless (much less a victim) and become a drag on the system for something so easily mitigated such as this condition we have. All it takes is a bit of thought, determination and action. Rather than looking for the world to help you (because it's not going to), or feeling you're entitled to it; Try helping yourself first.
Outside of work, you can wear earbud headphones as they are so ubiquitous. No one gives them a second thought. You don't even have to have anything pumping through them most of the time. Just wearing them is enough of a muffle to make life quite manageable.
Good luck.
I use this for my auditory processing issueshttps://www.amazon.co.uk/EarDial-Ear-Plugs-Comfortable-High-Fidelity/dp/B00P2NTVPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_10_sspa?crid=3TODTOLMD593Y&keywords=ear+defender+ear+plugs&qid=1556209763&s=gateway&sprefix=ear+defender+ea&sr=8-10-spons&psc=1
High fidelity earplugs are awesome and I think will be better without blocking out so much that it is a hazard.
I use these, not in retail but in lectures and food courts.
https://www.amazon.com.au/EarPeace-Concert-Ear-Plugs-Protection/dp/B076VTXWBP/ref=asc_df_B076VTXWBP/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341772597040&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=63614558440816639&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9069099&hvtargid=pla-412676267180&psc=1
I would also ask to placed somewhere with less squealing kids if at all possible. I don’t think there is anywhere in a department store with no kids, but less is still better.
It's already been said but it's a very important thing to have with concerts. Ear protection, ear protection and ear protection.
Highly recommend the EarPeace HD, the difference in audio quality is minimal and I got my recommendation from a few studio guys who swear by them for gigs.
https://www.amazon.com/EarPeace-Concert-Ear-Plugs-Protection/dp/B076VTXWBP/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ear+peace&qid=1569971620&s=gateway&sr=8-4
Nothing is provided.. i've been using a brand called EarPeace for years at various concerts, sporting events, etc. They're great - reduce overall decibel levels without sacrificing audio fidelity. Awkward to put in, but easy once you get the method down.
Get yourselves a pair!
Howard Leight by Honeywell Max Lite Low Pressure Disposable Foam Earplugs, 200-Pairs (LPF-1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RMFGGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6p23CbC7TS546
Absolutely love these for track and street, you can reuse them alot and are so cheap you don't mind losing them. I think I reused a pair for a month or two once. They hold up well and don't bother your ears.
I use these: Howard Leight by Honeywell 200 pack
I use them multiple times unless I drop them on the ground or something. They do a really good job when you get them in right! Read the instructions that come with them and you'll have no problems.
Just incase you need another voice to weigh in- BRING THE EAR PLUGS!!!!!
I go to metal shows (death meta mainly, but other sub-genres as well) every so often and only at the most recent 2-3 did I bring ear plugs and wow what a difference. When I leave the venue I no longer have ringing/throbbing in my ears for the rest of the night. I already have tinnitus at 21 and I wish I had gotten ear plugs sooner. Your ears are worth protecting, musicians even wear ear plugs while playing. You cannot reverse the damage to your ears and they are so easily damaged.
If you are curious, these are the ear plus I use. Many percussionists/drummers use them during live sets. I keep the red plug in by default because it blocks out more sound than the green does. The only time this kinda took away from the music was when I saw Hellyeah last summer but it was worth it because I want to be able to enjoy many concerts in the future.
Yeah I might do that. OH! You know what, maybe just my fin-style earplugs. similar to these
Nothing says "I'm not listening to music, I just don't want to hear YOU" like wearing obvious earplugs. LEL
You sound like you may have been around the block, but for whatever it's worth, people close to me had the most success ameliorating their depression with:
None of these were a cure, but they helped make life feel like a good thing a lot more.
Honorary mentions (aka "not sure if are placebos"):
I use the 3M disposable earplugs. It was something like $20 for a 200 pack and they come individually packaged. They've lasted since August for me, riding 5-6 days a week, throwing them away after every ride, still have lots of them left.
Also running a Sena 30K in my Shoei X-Fourteen helmet. The sound quality is great and can be heard easily but the earplugs totally eliminate wind noise, it's great. I would highly recommend this setup. Audiologist recommended to me, and now on to you.
Earplugs link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MCUOH2/
Things I can vouch for not working:
I must've spent over $100 on trying all these various setups, and in the end, the cheapest solution is actually the best. It's crazy, but also great.
If you have the room, bring a futon mattress. It won't deflate or pop like an air mattress and you don't have to use a pump or your mouth to blow it up. It provides better support, it's not plastic so it's not cold at night or sweaty during the day. Plus it makes less noise if you're planning on some fun. ;)
Bring Swimmers Earplugs if you want to sleep at night and an eye mask if you want to try to sleep during the day. The swimmers earplugs don't stick out of your ear like some earplugs and they don't put pressure on your inner ear making it easier to fall asleep. The only problem is they are a little gooey.
On the topic of earplugs, please do yourself a favor and buy HiFi Earaser earplugs. As beautiful as this music is, it could seriously damage your hearing. Only downfall to Earasers, because they are so low profile and transparent, they are easy to lose.
The field that GA camps in is regularly used as a cow/horse pasture prior to the festival. Last year we had a few piles of shit in our campsite. Bring a tarp or blanket to put down and bring some extra grocery bags to remove the poop with.
I use the orange nonoise earplugs.
I only attend shows with protection nowadays. It sounds better, and is way more responsible :D
Even with rather cheap universal ones like the alpine I have.
It's probably not even important which ones you have. Just get some, it's worth it.
I used to have tinnitus for the rest of the evening and often the next day, and woke up with headaches. And now it's just like every other night. It's great, and I can't imagine life without them xD
Bought some music earplugs from amazon since i wanted a hearing protection which doesn't fuck around with the soundquality to much

You should try these wax ones, they block out the most noise and are the most comfortable ear plugs I've ever worn :)

What you want is this. This isn't some type of foamy earplug. These actually keep the noise out and are incredibly comfortable. I've been using those for over a decade.
You'll still be woken up by your alarm if that's what would concern you, meanwhile.
That's terrible. Buy earplugs and a vibrating alarm clock from Amazon.
read a few of your posts here
foam earplugs work amazing. IF USED CORRECTLY!
you mentioned in another post that they pop out and that is impossible if they are used correctly. They should be rolled up and inserted in the ear canal. not just placed lightly in the ear or pushed in.
Also not all earplugs are the same. I used some my daughter has for drums and they sucked. Felt like my ear was under constant pressure. I purchased these
and they work great. no pain and cut down almost all low end noise. I can still hear the higher range via my sena though.
you can get custom earplugs as well. Talk to your Dr and get a specialist to help out. A lot depends on the range you want them designed for. I would check out online what OSHA suggests. It seems earmuffs work well and I am sure there lower profile ones as well. maybe those and earplugs?
Daily, I wear flanged plugs for my commute, Comply Foam-tipped IEM's for longer rides.
Unfortunately, I've got crap hearing. Too much Metallica and Tool in the 90's. These protect what I've got left.
I've got no trouble hearing traffic through these, even if I'm listening to music/podcasts in the IEMs. I never go above 50% volume when riding.
I wear these earplugs with my SMH-10 and they actually balance out the sound really well as well as blocking out wind noise.
I was thinking about buying a better helmet, but for 17 bucks, it's hard to argue with that price.
I have worn earplugs every night for at least 10 years without issue.
After much trial and error, the very best plugs you can use for long periods are the Howard Leight LPF-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-LPF-1-Uncorded-Earplugs/dp/B000RMFGGY). LPF stands for 'low pressure foam' which means your ears will not hurt after wearing them all night.
I re-use these for about a week before I move to a new pair, so a 200-pair box lasts about 4 years. Highly recommended.
If your plugs are making your ears hurt, try the low pressure foam ear plugs from Howard Leight. They are comfortable enough to wear all day and still provide 30 NRR. On Amazon - Howard Leight by Honeywell Max Lite Low Pressure Disposable Foam Earplugs, 200-Pairs (LPF-1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RMFGGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.KKlzbD2FQ84X
> become dirty after 3 weeks of regular riding
I buy Howard Leight disposable earplugs for about $20 for a box of 200 pairs. I replace them every few days, maybe as long as a week. There's no reason to keep using a single pair for 3 weeks when they are so cheap.
http://amzn.com/B000RMFGGY
I'd recommend these for anyone looking for earplugs to sleep with
I've tried Etymotic, standard fit, and they just ended up hurting my ear canals. Unfortunately they only have "standard fit" and "large fit". With no option for a smaller fit I had to look for an alternative.
I really lie the fit and dB reduction of the Flents ear plugs and bought a jar of them: http://www.amazon.com/Flents-Quiet-Please-Plugs-50-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C
Yeah I wear them correctly. I wear them at night too, though a different brand. The ones I have worn while riding are Howard Leight LaserLite earplugs. I like them a lot.
At night I wear these, which I would not wear while riding because they block out practically all noise.
I went to a David Bowie concert on my 15th birthday (Sound & Vision tour with Adrian Belew). Heaven on earth, but HELL on my ears. They rang/vacuum cleaned for a good 3-4 days afterwards and I was terrified.
Thankfully, my hearing went back to normal and I have worn earplugs at anything that's potentially loud since. I second the Hearos or these, which are apparently even better at blocking out decibel levels and fit more snugly and deeper in my tiny ear canals. Just treated myself to a gigantic container of them.
Once is all it takes.
Yes! This is the pair I use, I have had them about 4 years now and they still work like new. Very much worth the $20 to save my hearing.
I've used these for years. They are for drummers but work the best out of any I have tried for live shows. They have a cord on them so if they get knocked out they won't get lost.
You're getting good suggestions on firearms to look at (M&P Shield in 9mm!), but I wanted to ensure that you understood that you need to buy more than just a gun and that $500 isn't enough money to get started carrying safely. Here's a variation of my cost breakdown from a prior thread where someone had a $1000 budget to getting started:
I'm leaving out a range bag ($30) since I assume you already have a bag to carry the accessories to/from the range. I also didn't include a more expensive clip holster such as the Black Arch Proto ($80) and a belt.
That puts you at $504 before any taxes, shipping, and transfer fees. Other guns mentioned in this thread (the Glocks specifically) cost quite a bit more than $380, and thus your total cost will be well above $500.
At that point you actually have to learn how to shoot and how to carry safely. That means spending money on:
Also don't forget to account for the cost of your carry permit. Depending on where you live and what required classes you have to take that could easily consume $250.

I think the noise issue is exaggerated. But I also always bring these.

To make them less obtrusive I cut off the wide end and insert the rest, then it is hardly noticeable. Just be careful not to get it stuck in the ear, especially if it is raining and it gets wet. Had that happen once, just had to use a tweezer to get it out.
I bought these super soft ones and they stay in really well. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003628ODO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We also have a box fan running for extra noise, and almost nothing wakes me up now! I also sleep with an eye mask. I must look like some kind of princess LOL
The expanding foam ones hurt my ears and give me a headache also. I don't like the wax ones, but these rubber ones work for me. They come with a little case and are easy to clean so you can reuse them many times unlike the foam or wax ones. Also the string is optional, I always throw it away.
Amazon has the laserlites. These are also good: 3-Pair RTSFUS30HP - Howard Leight Fusion Multiple-Use Earplug https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0037F92RC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QVc7CbEG0NBG7
As /u/sumo_steve said, if you want BIFL you're best option is likely to be a custom silicone or acrylic plug, ideally built by an audiologist.
Personally I used a do-it-yourself kit from Amazon and the end product should be BIFL, but I assume you would get a better fit and better overall noise attenuation by going to an audiologist.
Note that while the plug itself should be BIFL, my understanding is that the ear canal's shape changes over time so realistically you might need to get new plugs a few years down the road.
Still if BIFL is your primary criteria, silicone or acrylic will last order's of magnitude longer than any foam plug you could buy.

I've tried Mack's, Hearos, and a bunch of other brands and in terms of comfort and noise reduction ability i haven't found anything better (plus they are individually wrapped so i always keep a bunch of pairs in my backpack)
I use Earasers and they work perfectly. They're a little more expensive than some others on the market but these work much clearer than any others I've tried so take that as you will.
These are pretty awesome
Earasers Musicians Plugs Small https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2D9FHA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QjHPyb78AA5DZ
If you don't mind spending $40, it appears the earasers are among the best on the market. I've heard some horror stories of Dubs brand ear plugs falling apart in people ears resulting in doctors visits. Erasers come in many different sizes. Source: did hella googling and it appears these have good sound and build quality comparable to custom ear plugs. If you are spending $15-20 on a crap pair, might as well fork out the extra $20 and get a lasting, quality pair IMO.
Yeah, but you gotta spend a little to not ruin the sound quality.
These ones are supposed to be the best, according to this reddit thread. I am going to get some before the next show I go to.
Edit: they're $40 so they're not crazy expensive. I'd say it's worth the money to (a) not wreck your ears and (b) still hear that sweet, sweet nectar.
I disagree. With earplugs and a full face helmet I feel completely isolated in the city, and not in a good way. I check my mirrors all the time, head check every lane change, but wearing earplugs is extremely disorienting for me. If I am going for a longer ride I will stop once I get out of town to put them in, and take them out as I get closer. I have these
Which ear-plugs do you have? I have tried foam and these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDHWELY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I can never get my Sena loud enough to hear clearly. Anything over 55mph and the ambient sound drowns out anything the Sena puts out.
I have the Sena 10C, but even my 20S was the same way.
These should do the job

Personally I recommend these Earplugs. They are transparent so they are hard to see and come with a nifty keychain. I have used them at clubs, movies, concerts and always left with my hearing intact.
I would say it's mostly up to you, but as someone who's been to a lot of shows with no ear plugs I bought a pair for the shows I saw and I am VERY glad I did, last time I saw them the guitar effects they use commonly really hurt my ears, using ear plugs designed for shows made an enormous difference. I could hear everything perfectly nice and loud but without the blare, I highly recommend getting some. These are the ones I got but I'm sure similar ones will work just fine
These I got for when I'm jamming with the band and it lowers down the music since I'm already having issues hearing. I need to keep the hearing that I have.
Eargasam
I’ve been using these EarPeace earplugs for a few years and like them a lot . They attenuate but you still get good intelligibility. Another great bonus about these is that you really can’t see them in so I feel comfortable wearing them when going out casually without having to feel conscious of wearing them. I keep em on my keychain.

Good disposable earplugs. I have a box for riding.
If small noises waking you up is a major part of the problem, let me C&P my reply to another post:
Two solutions would be (A) wear ear plugs, or (B) get a white noise source in your room.
You could even combine them. For instance, recently, there has been heavy construction in my building starting every day at 8 (jack-hammering, hammering, etc.) that reverberates through the whole structure. It's so noisy that even ear plugs don't block out the sound. However, I've discovered that if I wear in-ear ear buds and play low-frequency white noise (this track is good) at med volume, it totally drowns out the sounds of the construction. It sounds a bit like the whoosh/rumble you hear on an airplane, so I can still fall asleep to it.
If you prefer earplugs, my experience is that these Moldex ones block out the most sound, more than 3M, as they are longer and denser.
If you absolutely can't tolerate sleeping with anything in your ears, then you could also get a loud fan or other white noise source (or just play the noise over speakers with decent bass).
Hope that helps.
> What brands make helmets that are quieter?... Wind noise isn't the problem
When people talk about helmets being quiet, they are talking about a reduction in wind noise.
These are what I use for ear plugs, I grab them from work, they have the best NRR you can buy.
I take an inflatable U-shaped pillow. I put it on backwards, with the opening in the back and drop my head on the cushion on my chest or shoulder. Most seats don't recline enough to use it as a pillow in the back. Some do slowly deflate; some don't. No big deal to me as they're quick to blow back up (one long breath for me), and the deflate, fold, and pack into very small spaces on my carryon.
Ear plugs -- I recommend these instead of the foam inserts that you roll up before inserting. The foam ones don't stay in for me, and they aren't nearly as effective ad the silicone baffle-style. I have a different brand than this, so you don't have to buy any particular brand. You can clean them and reuse them. Foam ones get ear gunk on them, and you can't clean them.
A blindfold.
Either a small blanket or a warm sweater or fleece.
I wear a photographer's vest. It's the equivalent of another carry on. I carry my reading materials (magazines, paperbacks), reading glasses, my iPod and ear phones, small flashlight, notepad & pen, tickets, passport, printout of my travel agenda, and such.
Take a small camera on board. Photos of your meals, video of passenger fist fights, photos of gorgeous cloud formations if you have a window seat, video of take off and landing, whatever.
Here's the real best tip: for a trip this long, upgrade to business class.
i get these ones from work, manufacturing engineer, and i pull the cord off of them and they work well because i can adjust them if i want it louder or quieter. I often grab an extra pair if i have friends coming to shows with me, because they often don't think about earplugs.
These are the ones I use. They're very comfortable, cheap, and block out just the right amount of noise. Highly recommend.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DZF7T6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Z2N9AbD27YX1P
I use these, but I cut off the string. I can't get the foam ones to seat correctly in my left ear because the canal is shaped weird. Not as good of a protection rating, but they fit me.
I started carrying a simple pair of reusable earplugs in my backpack and it has improved my life so much.
I've been using the Howard Leight Maxlites for years and find them to be perfect for me, even on loooong days...
http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Honeywell-Disposable-LPF-1/dp/B000RMFGGY
I know I've seen sample packs where you get a dozen different kinds to try. That might be the way to go before buying a couple hundred pairs. But definitely buy in bulk, so much cheaper that way.
Any of them would be good. That pair should be good.
Might be worth looking into the low pressure ones though as they don't need to reduce as much noise and tend to be softer. https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Honeywell-Disposable-LPF-1/dp/B000RMFGGY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494531905&sr=8-1&keywords=Howard+low+pressure
The ones I use and my favorite.
I use Spark Plugs, but they also amplify some noises. I bought this pack of 200 like two years ago and it was a great investment.
I use them because one time I got a bug in my ear and it was quite disgusting. Also my boyfriend snores really loudly, but that's a secondary reason.
Hey. Sorry for the really late response. Since no one answered:
I know this might sound really stupid, but why not use some earplugs?
I did some research and I found something that seems pretty liked by people:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001426BZQ/ref=cm_sw_su_dp#customerReviews
(No, I don't make money off of this :p)
Exactly what this guy said. The soft foamy ones are way more comfortable and block wounds very well.
I'm personally partial to these:
Moldex SparkPlugs Tapered Foam Polyurethane Uncord https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001426BZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FwewCb1JPT24K
I use these.
They have them for the production floor where I work, and that's where I discovered them. They work really well for me, and have some of the highest noise reduction of any earplugs I was able to find. Properly inserted these things make basically any speed comfortable.
+2 for Moldex ear plugs. I run the "Spark Plugs" variant here for over a decade and they're great. Very comfortable, fit in small ear canals, greatly diminish the road and wind noise.
these mostly
Just buy whatever. I bought these ones and they're fine.
These foam ones work best for me: https://smile.amazon.com/Flents-Quiet-Please-Plugs-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C/ref=sr_1_40?keywords=sleeping+earplugs&qid=1574567688&sr=8-40
Re-usable silicone ones can also work.
I tried these Amazker 60 pair ones first but they put too much pressure on my ears, I can feel it when I wake up. Only using those as backup and for motorcycling.
I think I'll try Howard leight low pressure foam ones next.
Use foam earplugs.
Maybe not that exact brand, but something similar.
They're soft. Fold them in half and stick the bent end into your ear, makes them easy to take out.
I've used foam ear plugs for entire shifts working construction with heavy machinery. So they're pretty good.
If you think you'll look weird, try putting headphones on top of them.
Suggest your brother sleep with these:

What kind of rifle and what caliber were you using? Were you shooting off a bench, prone, standing? As for the earmuff issue, just bring a decent pair of foam earplugs next time. Personally I use these.

It's the white noise. Its the restaurants with stone walls and nothing to soak up the sounds. Stadiums are the worst.
Get yourself some musician earplugs that filter sound.
I am a wedding/event/performance photographer and I am constantly in loud crowds and at concerts with my head next to the speakers.
https://www.amazon.com/Vater-VSAS-Safe-Sound-Plugs/dp/B002RWKR7K
They have a little metal canister I attach to my keychain.
These are also REALLY awesome for movies that are way too loud in cinemas.
These will still allow you to hear people talking at a slightly elevated volume next to you in a dance club. They are awesome.
I earned my tinnitus by going to a lot of shows over the years, sitting in on practices, and having jam sessions.
How do I feel about it? Well... it's never going away, so I've accepted it. I wish I would have listened to my elders way back when I was your age, and wore some damn ear plugs to the shows. I definitely don't head to a show these days without a pair.
How do I deal with it? - Like a lot of others, I sleep with a fan on. At the office, I listen to music pretty much all day, but I use a fairly expensive rig on my desk, because shitty, tinny sounding "computer speakers" irritate the shit out of my tinnitus. (edit: you can get much better "monitors" than these for less money. I got mine refurb'd)
So the logical question is, "What kind of ear plugs do you recommend". My answer to that depends on how much money you want to spend. I'm a big fan of Vater and Hearo's hi-fi. I like the Vaters a little better, because they come with that little sealed tube, which you can put some rubbing alcohol in, and they're always clean. However, I do think the Hearo's hi-fi ones sound a little better. At the end of the day, they're both good choices, cuz they just turn down the volume without messing with the frequencies very much.
If you've got a bit of extra scratch to spend, then you can go to the audiologist, and get custom moulded ear plugs. They'll perform the best, but they're also the most expensive. My friend had this done, and I think he paid $120-150 for the set, and lost them within like 6 months, and went back to the Hearo's.
You're not being unreasonable. You're trying your best to cope with the situation you've been dealt.
Try as best as you can to get space and have a quiet zone. Buy some good earbuds or headphones that reduce background noise. I also have these ear buds that I use if I'm in public, they're what people use in bands. Something like this - https://www.amazon.com/Vater-VSAS-Safe-Sound-Plugs/dp/B002RWKR7K. It makes over stimulating simulations much more tolerable.
Try to keep your visual stimulation low - don't watch super intense movies or go into crowds.

These are about the same price, come with a better container, you can change the level of dampening, and the cord to connect them is a godsend, especially if you're constantly taking one out to hear/talk to your friends.
I also have times when I need to block out all noises - sometimes during migraines, sometimes I just need to concentrate. I often use foam earplugs in ADDITION TO noise protection ear muffs. I don't ever leave the house looking like this, but it works great for getting heads-down into some concentration-required work in my home office. This combination is VERY, VERY effective at cutting down unwanted noises. Just my two cents.
Here are a couple of cost effective product examples.
https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Laser-Earplugs-50/dp/B003628ODO/
https://www.amazon.com/Fnova-34dB-Highest-Safety-Muffs/dp/B072JT4578
Howard Leight Laser Lites. Cheap, comfortable, and the best sound reduction.
I always use a pair along with music playing through my Sena SMH5 headseat. Works great.
They also come in corded versions if that's what you prefer.
Agreed, squishy foam ear plugs will do ya good. I never go on vacation without a handful of these, just never know
I use Howard Leight earplugs from amazon
They're cheap, comfortable, effective, and I'm pretty sure they're used by construction workers who need to be able to hear alarms. Anyway, I've never missed an alarm on my phone even though it's set to the lowest setting. Certain frequencies are able to go though the earplugs so I recommend getting these earplugs and testing different alarms to see what you hear best.
Best earplugs for sleeping IMHO: http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Laser-Earplugs-Cords/dp/B003628ODO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374791910&sr=8-1&keywords=laser+lites+50ct
I used to have this problem and tried several brands. I would put ear plugs in as far as they would go and my ears would hurt. If I didn't put them in that far, they would fall out during the night.
Then I found these ones:

I love them! They are just really soft and squishy so I put them half in but they never fall out. I also bought a Marpac Dohm white noise machine but I think I prefer the sound of a fan in summer.
I use these ear plugs, Best so far I've used. My dad enjoys making the loudest sounds possible at 5 in the morning, Being able to block out that noise has been a game changer
Getting shitty sleep is the worst. It just makes every other problem feel so much bigger--and sometimes actually does, like in job or school performance.
Have you tried ear plugs or white noise machines? I use these foam ear plugs when motorcycle riding, and they muffle everything way down
I second this suggestion! I get really fixated on noises sometimes and so I need to basically block them out 100%. I use https://amzn.to/2ptpBYQ and they're really comfortable (I'm a side sleeper). Also the bag has lasted me 2 years!
I have weird ear canals, and like the comfort of these flanged ones vs the foam ones, which always seem to fall out:

Two pair for $7 plus string and case. I wear them to the datacenter and when upstairs neighbor's tv is too fucking loud and I'm trying to sleep.
Swimming ear plugs work well for me.
About 8$ for three pair.

I usually see custom molded plugs. Not much for electronic because there’s not many out there that are active cancelling.
I use these for Cowboy Action Shooting. Not electronic noise canceling, but they’re very comfortable in my ears.

You can also get ones that you mold to your ear and then they harden. Here's one example but you can find more.

You need this in your life.
You should look for something that doesn't protrude out of your ears. Those earplugs fit the bill without breaking the bank. You just gotta do the inserts yourself. It's not hard, there are plenty on guides on youtube.
I highly recommend getting molded earplugs for $10 from Amazon for festivals and such. The flesh colored ones are all but invisible.

I've been using earplugs for pretty much every concert since I was 15. I'm glad I did because I have been to at least 3-4 concerts a year since then and I would definitely have hearing loss by now.
I used to use the cheap drugstore earplugs but I've upgraded to these a few years ago after I started swimming again. I haven't noticed any sound quality issues at concerts with these but my friends said they muffled some of the higher frequencies when we were at Iron Maiden last month. I still recommend them over other earplugs as they are a lot more comfortable than the ones that go into your ear canal.
Try these if you can. Make sure that you get an -air tight- seal or they won't work. http://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Silicone-Earplugs-6-Count/dp/B004CKCX9K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412049518&sr=8-1&keywords=macks+ear+plugs
Edit: Don't pay that much for them. I'm not sure where you live, but you can pick them up at Target for around five dollars. (California)
I agree with bananasmcgee. My wife is a snorer, and these completely block all sound. In fact, she has to wake me up when my alarm goes off at 4am (take that, you snorer!) because I can't hear it. https://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Silicone-Earplugs-6-Count/dp/B004CKCX9K/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1467013088&sr=8-2&keywords=wax+ear+plugs
One of my buddies has sensitive ears and short ear canals and these seem to work really well for him. Wax ear plugs that you mold yourself and can reuse a couple of times.

Those are two I use (first link I use for on the road, cheap and disposable, try these first; second are pretty pricey but more noise cancellation, they do insert into your ears though, so you might just want to stick with the first link). Theyre even great for swimming to avoid swimmers ear. I'm still doing a lot of uni work and my sleep is imperative for me for athletics and school.
>ear protection
these are the earplugs you want. 33db rating is very high for a disposable earplug. if youre regularly at an indoor range i would suggest buying some over-ear muffs and doubling up on your ear protection. once your ears are fugged, theyre fugged; so, be very cautious and always use your ear protection even if you dont think you need it.

if you dont want to get an aftermarket stock you can just drill the beech stock and screw in your own swivel studs.

kind of a bummer tho, I think earasers increased their price http://www.amazon.com/Earasers-M1-S-Musicians-Plugs-Small/dp/B00E2D9FHA I prefer them over the etymotics although I think the etys reduce the sound a bit more
Toss up between my Fitbit Ionic and these earplugs.
I use the Fitbit all the time, but I've been trying to go to more live music recently and those earplugs are literally saving my ears from damage, so it's hard to decide which is better.
Here you go:

I’ve been using these and am a fan: Nonoise Motor - New Generation Ear Plugs - Ceramic Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EDHWELY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_chC4Bb3W9CPVR
Try something like these.
They allow air flow into your ear so you don't feel plugged up.
personally I think the party plugs are too strong and make the music too quiet, also the sound gets too bass intense(because higher frequencies are filtered out more) imo
I have found the alpine musicsafe pro with white filter to be way better because they filter reasonably good for protection while the music still being loud enough(party plugs are like 21 db and the musicsafe white about 14 db) and also the frequencies filtered are more even (comapre the filter graphs of these)
Bonus: if its still too loud you can switch out the filters

I have bought and tried several plugs (including the party plugs) and those are the best so far.
Has there been any merch at the shows yet?
Also, does anybody know if some earplugs like [these] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MEE876O/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_wdv3xbB1GDR3R) would be any good?
I have this ones... You can change the filter if you want to which is really awesome. The only bad thing me and my mates found out is that if it rains heavily they slowly start to fall out of your ear
I recently bought these one https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00MEE876O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pretty comfortable, I used them last time to the "Light this city" band concert (so pretty heavy music) with the low filter and it was a great experience.
Here’s the link, they have other brands I just got these bc they were low profile

I was wondering about these. Do they leave behind residue like the wax ones? Do they block everything?
OP: The foam things don't work very well. These are good for background noise and conceal well (but they've apparently gone way up in price... Plenty of similar options): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P2NTVPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_r8nvCbWZR9Y2E
I really like concert ear plugs, I held off on getting some for a while because I used to wear the cheap foam ones to noisy events and they hurt my ears after a while. I bought these for a stadium concert I went to recently and they did a great job - because they're made of higher quality material, they feel soft and don't hurt my ears at all. They did a great job of muffling louder sounds (especially people yelling next to me) but I could still hear the music perfectly. I hope your ones work just as well! :)

I brought these earplugs for the Citifield concert back in October and will be bringing these with me when I go to Chicago next week. These ones are for smaller ears (because my ears are tiny) but they have a option for normal/bigger ears as well.
When I first put them on for the Citifield concert, I could barely hear the screaming but I could hear the music clearly. Best $35 well spent.
I use some ear peace HD at the moment, but I've used a bunch of different ones over the years.
Cheap disposable foam ones are "ok", but they do make everything sound a little muffled. Ideally Spend a little extra (not too much, you can get them from about a fiver upwards) and get musician's earplugs.
Have you tried wax ear plugs like [these](Ohropax Ohropax Wax Ear Plugs 12 plugs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006NXBVQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xvfEybZ1GCSMX) or [these](World's Finest Ear Plug---(1-Pair) Sample Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FYNLYK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ywfEyb2EQEZYW) ? My husband snores like a boat horn. We had to sleep in separate rooms until I found good ear plugs. I do like the earplugs in the second like more, but I do not use lanolin anymore and the Ohropax in the first link are a close runner up. Neither earplugs get caught in my hair, and they are both loads better than anything you can find at a drugstore.
Edit: white noise didn't help drown out his horrible snoring. Breath right strips didn't help either.
They are very effective. You do have to squish them with your fingers and mold them into a slightly cylindrical shape to get them deep enough into your ear canal (but not so deep that you can't pull them out.) Usually I devide one blob into 2 parts and put one in each ear, but your ear canal size may vary. Get them here
Try the wax ones, I got a small tin of these and they are fantastic.
https://www.amazon.com/Ohropax-Wax-Ear-Plugs-plugs/dp/B0006NXBVQ
I have been using these for 2 years. Each pair can be used for up to 2 weeks IMO. These have been the best thing I've ever done for my marriage! I sleep through snores and even drilling noises (construction outside my house).
They mould to your ear shape very easily

wax ear plugs. always fit perfectly.
Have you tried these?
I use them regularly to sleep and their the only ones I can tolerate when my head in resting sideways on the pillow. They're wax so they just morph into the shape of your ear without feelings like you've stuffed a whole pillow in there.
I sleep with ohropax wax plugs:

Been using them for almost 30 years every night. Take off the cotton and mold them in a trumpet like form before putting them in, with the pointed side in your ear and flat side on the outside. Press the flat side a little to get a more ot less airtight seal.
You can reuse them a few days to 1 or 2 weeks depending on cleanliness of your ears.

I made several tables recently.
Man if you need earplugs for sleeping get a good pair of foamed.
If silence and isolation from the loud sound around you is your thing, Moldex Pura-Fit is your ear plug. They are not the largest nor the densest plugs out of the foam plugs. I found them to block the most sound.

>I tried several of the reusable Surefire earplugs, and they were crap
Came here to say this. They sound like a good idea... and they aren't.
My gang usually just buys basic ear plugs from a construction equipment store. Smth like this: https://www.constructiongear.com/holemaeaboxo.html or https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000BYAP7I/?tag=ybduk-21 - 30 bucks for a box of 100/200, and they work well enough against a 12ga outdoor (would probably be kinda meh for indoor use of a short-barrel .223 with a muzzle comp.
Thanks. Have you considered earplugs as well? I tried a bunch and this was the best for sleeping:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000BYAP7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pretty good comfort, but great for blocking noise if applied properly.
I also tried a bunch of sleep masks out. From a comfort and coverage perspective, this one was best:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B075L8D4SB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also bought a dog whistle to silence the neighbor's dog.
How do you know your sleep is bad? Insomnia? or tired the next day?
I like total darkness and silence for sleep, so I recommend a good-quality soft sleep mask (not some dollar-store shit). That mask comes with this type of ear-plugs, which are by far my fav (and I have tried probably a dozen types of ear-plugs at my old job).
If I need to sleep earlier to get up early I go for melatonin, first an hour or two before I want to sleep, then again as I am going to bed. When I wake up, first thing is 200mg of caffeine pills. I meditate daily also so by the time I am done meditating I can feel the caffeine. Then hot shower and I am awake enough to make the early day.
Otherwise, make getting enough sleep a priority. Sleep when you feel tired and wake up when you feel rested (with no alarm if at all possible, though this is often not possible for a lot of jobs).
I use these Moldex disposable ones. Picked them after doing some research a couple of years back.
Each pair comes individually packaged.
as an interim solution to help you sleep, ear plugs are great
I found these make me almost completely deaf.
I use this bag as a gear bag. I use this bag as a pistol bag. I use these ear muffs for pistol shooting and sometimes for rifle shooting but I find they get in the way with a rifle. So with a rifle, I usually just use these ear plugs.
Gotta get some earplugs. They're even cheaper at Home Depot.
A respirator is awesome. I highly recommend the 3M 7500 series (e.g. 7502). The vent on the 7500 faces downwards, so if you're wearing a face shield (as I do when running a bench or angle grinder), it won't fog the shield. Amazon Link
The P100 "Pancake" filter are a good match. Low profile and organic vapor relief (i.e. good working with small amounts of solvents). Another Link
Finally, for ear protection, I like earplugs with a string attached. Easy to take in and out and low profile if you're also wearing a faceshield or welding helmet, or whatever. example
I use Peltor earplugs ( https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-Tri-Flange-Corded-Reusable-Earplugs/dp/B000DZF7T6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=peltor+earplugs&qid=1556211052&s=gateway&sr=8-3 ). I tried a few other brands, but keep going back to this one.

Cheap enough that if I lose a set, i won't get upset, but they are good enough that I can still hear, but protects my hearing from wind noise while riding, and gunfire when shooting.
Having extras is always a good idea, last time I was on a group ride, one of the riders forgot his and was getting windblown, so I gave him a set.

I use these get them at wal mart or academy 3 pack for $6. They go right into your ear no rolling up like the orange plugs so you’re not having to fumble with them. And I can usually have a conversation with them in without issue. I’ll eventually get some custom molded plugs with the electronic insert.

You could easily break the string, which I did each night, and always carry a spare with you for when you accidentally drop one.
However! They were decent, I would have preferred the foam ones I think.
I don't know about curtains, but these are amazing. Just make sure you can still hear your smoke alarm. I'm not joking - make sure you can hear it loud enough that you would wake up.

Russia is quiet, but I don't think you'll like it there otherwise.
As a temporary solution, soft foam in-ear earplugs combined with over-the-ear headphones (construction or noise-cancelling) bring the noise to more tolerable levels for me. When the inside of the ear get's too irritated, replace the in-ear part with soft silicone putty earplugs for swimmers. I usually use silicon putty overnight, and foam plugs during the day, because they have 10 dB better protection rating.
I think people become deafened by this noise over time and after that they can only scream.
Here is the setup I use. I never leave the apartment without them:

I use these every day at work. as long as you get the little "wings" in the right spot they work and feel great.
Thanks ! I'm leaning more towards ear plugs since that's what I would be bringing test days. Yeh I feel like mine just fall out of my ears - Idk if it's the quality of them or if it's because my ears are small lol :/ Are you talking about thesE?

I'd just like to point out that I ordered the Surefire EP7 earplugs that have the same forfactor and these do not bode well with my current helmet, the Scorpion R-2000. It is extremely painful to put on, wear, and remove my helmet with these eaprlugs unfortunately.
If you cannot fit a pair of earbud headphones into your helmet comfortable, these will likely not work for you. In that case just order a pack of disposable earbuds.
I double up with foam and these over the ears:

I wasn't sure how much i'd be into this hobby, so I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on noise-cancelling electronic muffs. I sorted by highest customer rating on Amazon and they are awesome for the price. Come in a protective sleeve.
I love these as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RMFGGY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Got them for everything - motorcycle riding, shooting, needing peace and quiet. If you don't like hard foam plugs or they are uncomfortable, I highly recommend these.
We wear these earplugs at my factory and they will definitely help with dogs and birds.
Won't help with Netflix, but I own these earplugs (yes, the 200 pack, lmao) and I swear by them. They won't completely muffle noise, but they do help a lot.
You can also put yourself in your own private sound bubble by popping in earbuds and then putting a pair of these over them. Not the comfiest thing in the world in the long run, but for an hour or two it works very very well in my experience.

I used to use Surefire earplugs, but I went back to using these:
https://www.amazon.com/Moldex-M6604-200-Disposable-Earplugs-Assorted/dp/B001426BZQ
Extremely comfortable, and 'reusable' a few times (probably not very sanitary, though). I keep handfuls in my range bag, rucksack, truck, car, etc.
Viva,
Para começar, qualquer hearplug que atenue o ruído em 30 db ou mais. Eu uso estes. São fáceis de colocar e confortáveis.
Cada um pode experimentar o que melhor se adapte ao seu canal auditivo.

Trash trucks come several times a day, and they love coming in the middle of the night (1-3am) while banging those huge metal dumpsters. IMHO, there is no way to have a good night sleep downtown for light sleepers. I can't wait until I move in the middle of nowhere with no road and no neighbors for miles so I can sleep well! /rant
These are my favorite. Super quiet and you can get many uses out of a pair. My problem with the expensive single pairs is they are really easy to lose.

Real life pro tip: buy some cheap foam earplugs off Amazon, and cut them in half. They will dampen the sound enough to prevent your ears ringing, are slim enough that almost no one can tell you’re wearing them, and you’ll have about 50 pairs for $10. Do not push them too far in your ear though.

Those will solve any issues with noise. they're foam earplugs that you squeeze before you put in your ears and then they expand and block out everything. I sleep next to the loudest snorer ever.
The smoke issue is a bad one. Smoke makes me sick - someone should get that guy to go outside for a smoke like a civilized human being.
I wear them anytime i go to a show. Normally the sound quality is just fine, doesn't ruin anything for me. i hear everything fine, it's just not as loud.
i wore some like this last night at a concert, everything sounded great

I have sensory issues with sounds and use Stanley Low Pressure earplugs.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B001ULCHEA?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I bought a big bulk pack of Stanley in-ear foam earplugs and follow up with a pair of Howard Leight ultra lightweight compact folding earmuffs. The foam earplugs are cheap enough that I don't care if I lose them, and the Howard Leight earmuffs are small enough to fit 2-3 of them in my range bag easily in case I have friends come along.
I like the comfort of the setup as it offers a good double layer of protection, yet the Howard Leight earmuffs aren't in the way when I fire a rifle. I also wear them with eye protection no problem.
Save your money and get one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B001ULCHEA/

These are pretty much the same design but without the thing sticking out of your ears. If that matters, these are also the plugs I have been using for 2+ years and just now bought a second pair.
Any guitar shop will have filtered ear plugs, which do not diminish the sound quality only reduce the volume. You want something like this. They significantly improve the experience.
Hearos are definitely what you're looking for. Vater also makes a similar style plug that comes with a case for around the same price.
http://www.amazon.com/Vater-Percussion-Musicians-Ear-Plugs/dp/B002RWKR7K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414755687&sr=8-1&keywords=vater+earplugs
Also, you definitely do not want plugs for shooting guns as they reduce too much noise. Hearos have a noise reduction rating of 12db, while ear plugs for guns/heavy equipment are usually 30+ I've used those a few times and for me they were frustrating because I couldn't hear enough.
I just got these, and they filter out a fair amount of sound, without looking clarity. They even come with two types of filters - one for a lot of sound filtered, one for not as much. I'd recommend them.
Cheap, disposable ear plugs make live music sound like shit. Spring for the good ones.
Edit: Here's the ones I have. Absolutely worth the 20ish bucks.
Do you have any specific recommendations? I'm a guitarist/vocalist in a rock cover band and I use these but they block a little too much of the sound IMO.
The Wirecutter recommends Mack’s Ultra Soft Foam earplugs for travellers. They say besides being comfortable and cheap, they have a noise reduction rate of 32 dB.
In his 2017 gear post, Tynan recommends the Laser Lite ear plugs. He likes them for how snugly they fit in his ears.
Both these come in pack of 50 for $7 or $8.
Here's the post that gave me the idea
https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/comments/4ivtwv/working_somewhere_dirty_and_dusty_stick_an/
Super cheap on Amazon
I bought these, they come individually wrapped in pairs when I got them. I always keep a few still in the wrapper to give to friends if needed. Extremely comfortable. comfortable enough to sleep with them in and you don't wake up feeling sore. Sadly that link looks to be shipping knock offs now based on the recent reviews. But that's the brand/model.

At that time, there are not that many places to study. The Starbucks where I used to go was open until 10:30. It's not quiet, but it's a nice place to study with the music.
You can actually try to find an empty classroom to study in sometimes.
I recommend getting earplugs. I like these ones a lot. I also recommend you wear ear-buds and listen to music while you study. I usually listened to Tycho while I studied. Sometimes I would also listen to Thomas Newman and Blackmill. I never used to listen to music while I studied in high school. I had to when I got to college and I very much enjoyed it. I got used to listening to music.
Why can't you study in your bedroom? Don't you have a desk?
Doesn't your roommate study? Some freshman don't study enough and then they will flunk out of school. You can try to take night classes next semester and study during the day when your roommate isn't home.
I've been using Howard leight fusion reusables for about 5 years of daily commuting. Cost about $2-3/pr. I wash them occasionally and replace them every few months.

My Gear:
Eye Wear- Pilla Outlaw X7 with 76, 50, and 32 lenses.
Ear Protection- Standard rubber ear plugs. These come in packs of three on amazon. Each one comes with a carrying case. You can find them here
edit: I do recommend finding someone at a nearby range that will let you try some glasses engineered for shooting and target contrast to see what they do. (i.e. Pilla, Randolph Engineering, etc.) Don't take someone's word for it, test it for yourself. Just seeing a target being thrown with Pilla's on made me understand how important your eye wear is.

I believe these are the ones I got
I used these on my cross country roadtrip. They worked like a charm and you can sleep on your side without feeling like the earplug is getting pushed in.

IEMs look like hearing aids you could tell people they are ;) There are inexpensive make-you-own custom molded earplug kits that come in many colours for like $10 on amazon (examlpe: https://www.amazon.com/Radians-CEP001-Custom-Molded-Earplugs/dp/B003A28P4I). If you search howto make custom IEM or custom earplugs on youtube there are a ton of good videos.

I might look into that.
I've seen this around for custom molded earplugs: http://www.amazon.com/Radians-CEP001-Custom-Molded-Earplugs/dp/B003A28P4I
Would you have any recommendation for helmet audio?
Can't say I've heard of or seen them! Something like this? Two part mix that hardens like in this video? Can you still hear emergency vehicles?
What I don't understand are local laws that forbid having headphones in both ears because it can prevent one from hearing sirens, but I assume you're allowed to wear ear protection.
I used these and ear muffs for gun ranges to deal with my neighbors million screaming children.
http://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Silicone-Earplugs-6-Count/dp/B004CKCX9K/
Do you have any clear silicone earplugs (e.g, https://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Silicone-Earplugs-6-Count/dp/B004CKCX9K/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482679083&sr=8-3&keywords=macks%2Bearplugs&th=1)?
They're easier to disguise than other earplugs.
The first ones I tried were called Hush Plugz (haven't seen outside of the UK), but Macks are also good and I'm using them now. US amazon has them, although I couldn't find them on JP Amazon.
here's a link
A pack of six pairs lasts me about two months with every day use. I still wake up to my alarm, but I keep my alarm next to where I sleep, if that makes a difference.
I hope this helps. I feel like I'd be sleeping on the couch every night if I didn't have these, so I hope it helps you out too!
Same here although much older. Is changing seats an option? I wouldn't care about school rules and I would buy these silicon [earplugs] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CKCX9K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?qid=1463937462&sr=8-1&keywords=silicone+ear+plugs)
I don't know what I would do if it weren't for them.
If it's a JetBlue flight they always have T.V.s on the plane, which have free movies that can distract you from the sound and block it out if they're loud enough. Idk about other airlines, but you should ask your parents. The T.V.s helped me a ton when I was travelling on a three hour flight with my brother and his kids, who all chew so loudly that I could hear it across the aisle, not to mention the lady next to me smacking her gum. If not, would it be possible for you to buy those ear plugs they use at gun ranges? Those are literally designed for blocking out excessive noise from gunshots, so they're fairly effective (not foolproof, though).

Used these at two Queens of the Stone Age and royal Blood concerts and they worked great without ruining the sound
I own a pair of earasers they cut down a lot and are pretty damn comfy. The price is a little high but they definately are an improvement over Hearos. I havent tried the ETY's so unfortunately dont have any comparison for those
I have a pair just like those from a different vendor and they're great but for a less visible alternative try Earasers out. I think they may be a bit less protection but they're good for going to a loud restaurant/movie/social situation where you want your hearing protection less visible:

NoNoise Ear Plugs
The boyfriend and I have been looking into getting some nice earplugs (for dual bike & concert use) and I'm just looking to get some input on which brands everyone likes.

and
https://eargasmearplugs.com/products/eargasm-high-fidelity-earplugs-25-off-1
Were two that we were looking at but... I'm opening to suggestions. And experiences with either.
This is the most comfortable I found and kept the most noise out, I ended up losing the pair ( 30 $ on Amazon ) and purchased a cheaper replica made out of plastic rather than foam and it hurts slightly if not inserted properly so I would def. recommend my original purchase.

Even vs. these? Wondering because they claim to be purpose-built.
These: https://www.amazon.com/Nonoise-Motor-Generation-Ceramic-Filter/dp/B00EDHWELY
I’ve used really quiet foam ones, which work, but theyre so quiet you do miss stuff going on around you and it takes some of the fun out of riding.
These are very effective, definitely below the damage threshold, but they let though enough noise to hear cars etc and your own bike.
I've been very happy with these. I've ridden with foam plugs and i think they block my sena's speakers a little too much. Plus with the ceramic plugs you can still clearly hear your exhaust when you get on it.
Hook it onto your keychain and you will never forget about your earplugs again
I use the NoNoise Motor series. They have a ceramic filter instead of just being foam throughout. I love them.
Nonoise Motor - New Generation Ear Plugs - Ceramic Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EDHWELY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dshLyb9448AW7
Same.
I'm looking at purchasing Plugphones and Nonoise as research.
I like the Nonoise earplugs, they don't completely block out all sounds.

Try these... I commute daily and always wear them. My helmet is an icon variant, which isn't known for being quiet... and my bike has a loud yoshimura exhaust with no baffle. I find that they work well for me.

Yep I've got some of them and also some of these. I won't go to a gig without them, once your hearing is damaged it'll never recover.

Dolby movies are really loud. Even though I can handle it even I think it's too loud. My wife can't handle it. It hurts her ears. I got her these ear plugs for Dolby showings and that has helped her. Maybe give something like that a try.
These are the ones I have. You can't even see them in your ear and you can still hear someone talking to you.

I use the EarDials more because you don’t need a tool to put them in and the case is smaller.
I’ve had T almost 3 years.
I can recommend musician's earplugs I ordered on Amazon awhile back. They reduce the volume but still let you hear sound clearly.
These 'eardial invisible earplugs' are rated to reduce sound by 11db. The foam earplugs block a lot more sound than any musicians earplugs but musician earplugs still do a great job and are more functional. This model is on the smaller side and fit my ears better than any other earplug I've tried. Just a warning thought they aren't actually invisible just somewhat hard to see imo.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P2NTVPA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Another one I've tried are these 'eargasm high fidelity earplugs'. It's rated to reduce sound by 15db. Both of the earplugs I linked to come with a keychain holder that comes in useful when out and about. If I had to choose between the two I'd go with the first because it fits better but they really both deaden noise to a more tolerable level when my ears are sensitive.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019M576XW/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B019M576XW&pd_rd_wg=S8FDT&pd_rd_r=PW0MM4F611SPCQ5S1DF8&pd_rd_w=yCiIT&th=1
These have completely changed my experience. Only took a few short rides before I got used to them and don't even realize I have them in. I forgot to put them in one day and took off and couldn't believe how loud and terrible things were... I pulled over immediately and put them in. I listen to music with these on through my helmet headset, take phonecalls, and it's great. The wind noise is mostly gone.
I have a pair of EarDial earplugs (see here). They work pretty well. They're comfortable. They're subtle enough that most people won't notice you're wearing them. Plus, the carrying case is tiny and unobtrusive on a keychain, so I can just carry them with me wherever I go without having to remember to bring them.

You can definitely combo ear plugs and ear muffs, I've found that it helps a lot. If you want to still preserve your ears while still doing loud activities, you might consider something similar to these:
https://www.amazon.com/Alpine-PartyPlug-Plugs-Music-Environments/dp/B00REB9VTO
Those are ear plugs that only diminish the sound, not muffle it. (They're pretty popular now, I'm sure everybody here knows about them or has used them).
Because (for me) dancing is the best form of enjoying music. Also nobody is going to say anything to you about the way you are dancing, 99% of people doesn't give a shit about that. If music is too loud you can try wearing earplugs.
Buy some high quality plugs. Worked at / been to thousands of shows with very loud bands. These are probably the only thing stopping me from going deaf.

The non-foam plugs, like NoNoise or Eargasm, block the low frequency wind and engine noise while letting through the higher frequency environmental noises.

Honestly, you've gotten a lot of answers. Several of the popular higher quality earplugs were mentioned and are mentioned by others and in the threads I linked.
As I said - many of them have different sizes to choose from. You can read the reviews on them on Amazon and search for "smaller ears" such as these.
You've also gotten more than one answer suggesting custom ones, which is truly the best way to get earplugs that work for you.
I like Eargasm earplugs. They block out high noise levels (like blaring speakers) but you can hear a person talking to you with perfect clarity. They even come with a small mental keyring carry case that's easy to strap into my bag.

I use EarPeace earplugs. The sound is still clear and loud, just not damaging. They also come with 3 different inserts for different levels of quietness. Also come in handy for your hotel room/camp afterwards if you have some snorers in your group.
Thanks mate!
These things? https://www.amazon.co.uk/EarPeace-Concert-Ear-Plugs-Protection/dp/B076VTXWBP
The past couple days have been better. I've been eating a lot better and have reduced my workload at work which has helped. Had a good ten minutes of silence today and it was incredible. Really appreciate the advice. There's a lot of good stuff on this sub. Apart from the suicidal thoughts and such.
I used the Earpeace HD at Chicago. https://www.amazon.com/EarPeace-Concert-Ear-Plugs-Protection/dp/B076VTXWBP?th=1 I felt it vibrate at the beginning of the show because of the low-end/bass, but then it had a solid seal afterwards for the rest of the performance. It reduced the volume of screaming greatly, while I could still hear the music and each meets. No ringing in my ears afterwards!
I have these earplugs they really help me cut down on noise stimulation.

Just a very short pseudo-review: I ordered four or five kinds, but I've tried only two because the rest seem to be variations of one of them and I'm already quite happy with one of them. The two I tried are Earasers and Ear Peace HD.
Earasers are very comfortable and seem durable, but they block less sound than I was expecting.
Ear Peace HD are comfortable, seem durable, and come with three different filters, for three levels of sound blocking. So far these are my favorites, and I'm satisfied enough with them that I see no reason to keep buying and trying. In terms of comfort, they're a step up from the orange bois. They also come with an extra ear plug and an extra of each filter -- which is a nice touch. The metal keychain carrying case is heavy duty and excellent, though maybe too bulky to carry around in my pocket.
For the foreseeable future, Ear Peace HD will be my go-to earplug. I doubt I'll use more than one set of filters, but having the other two, in case I need them, is reassuring.
Someday I'll probably invest in custom ACS molded. I did a bit of research on molded earplugs (JH, Westone, and ACS), and most who have tried more than one brand prefer ACS. Like the Ear Peace HD, the ACS uses sound filters that can be swapped. (I'm guessing the JH and Westone do too).
These are the best that I've found:

I think I bought 3 packs of them, because you can't find them often enough when you need it. I use them for sleeping (wife snored while pregnant), though I cut off the strings, which can get noisy.
But DAMN do those things do a great job cutting out noise.

I'm a new rider and I'm aware of the hearing risk so I've tried earplugs.. but am I the only one who thinks the entire riding experience is ruined by wearing them? I guess for me a large part of the enjoyment on the bike is hearing the bike accelerate. I actually find riding boring with earplugs in. I can understand if you are going on a freeway trip.. But I would probably just take the car anyway.
I have a giant box of these in my closet. Maybe they are too quiet? I've even tried to put them in my ear rather shallow, but still it takes the enjoyment out of riding for me.. I'm open to suggestions.. What do you guys wear?
