Hi Lemmy!

Loop Earplugs are too expensive. Does anyone have cheaper recommendations?

Details

Details:

  • I have Loop Quiet to cope with situations with a lot of chatter, such as at the canteen, where it feels like everyone is shouting.
  • I bought a pair of Loop Engage because I dislike having to take my Quiets out to have conversations. They haven't arrived yet.
  • I've tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist's. They're extremely difficult to put in properly and get dirty after a few uses.

Fuck plugs, use noise canceling ear phones so you can hear and talk to people while wearing then all while they filter out the harmful decibels and pitches that damage your ear.

Seriously, as an unprovoked firearm saftey tip, get noise canceling headphones if you go to the range, shoot outdoors in large groups, or especially with and for any little kids who might be around while shooting. To get ahead of anyone who will yell at me for shooting around kids, ill explain that: between my house, my parent's, my great uncle's and all of my aunt's family members with their families who all own adjacent properties thay make up the 300 acres we share, there could always be kids around from any 1 of the 6 seperate nuclear family households who we share property with.

Like the old timers like to say about guns, its better to be safe and not need to be safe than to be not safe wishing you had been safer.

high quality ear plugs use filters.

I can wear them at a concert and still talk to the people next to me.

If you’re in the USA your insurance might even cover / subsidize the cost of having custom plugs made by an audiologist at an ENT.
