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.

At least here in the USA most insurance companies cover custom ear plugs that support filters.

I paid $200 out of pocket to have the molds made and get 3 sets of filters.

Now I own the mould file and coils purchase new ones out of pocket or have insurance cover a new pair.

I realize your ask was related to some plugs being too expensive BUT maybe my option of subsidized studio quality plugs may help (someone)
