I’ve tried foam earplugs, but those are impossible to use socially as everything’s too muddy. Also they’d end up sliding out eventually.
I eventually bought audiophile grade earplugs and they are FANTASTIC but the flange tips irritate my ears so bad.
I know circumaural headphones work great, but people have a harder time understanding I’m just using them as a filter to even hear them.
I use Ear Peace. They have a variety of types and come with a handy case so they’re always on my person.
Go to an audiologist and get some custom made.
Imagine the “stupid sexy Flanders” scene from the Simpsons, but it’s your ears.
Ya know, I forgot that was an option. I guess I’ll schedule a visit. I could use the same mold for custom iems too right?
Yeah. Depends on what brand your audiologist uses.
My ACS plugs aren’t cheap (for what amounts to a glob of plastic) but I can wear them all day long with no irritation.
