Hearing Protection 
 

 "I recommend these with a couple of caveats:
1) They only offer ~20dB of protection so it still seems a little loud to me sometimes -- I prefer a little more protection and as often as not, defer to the 30dB orange foamies -- it is harder to tune but slightly more comfortable.
2) These take a bit of getting used to -- they are tricky to get and to get out! Sometimes they cause a little pain when you fidget with them.
I recommend them but honestly, they are more suited to a quieter instrument and I would say are perfect for playing fiddle -- I use them all the time with that instrument."

 

"Yes, you can get cheaper ear plugs, but these allow you to hear far more clearly while still reducing the volume. They can be a little tricky to insert, I find I need to grab the top of my ear while inserting these, and it helps if they are moistened before insertion (condensation from a cold beverage is enough). They took a bit of getting used to as they are a little more snug in my ears than some other kinds, but totally worth it for the clarity."
