Are you familiar with Sonic II earplugs? I have used these for many years at rock concerts, but do not know if they are still being made. They are the only earplug I know that stay in place, protect the ear from ringing after a LOUD concert, yet provide a non-muffled sound. 15 years ago they were available from most sporting goods shops at $12 the pair. They were primarily designed for ear protection during shooting of guns, but still allow conversation between gun shots.
Best earplugs?
I have some 20 db Earwear uninversal fit "musician's" earplugs that are good. But I went up close for a KISS tribute band named Strutter - I abused myself. The problem wasn't the db rating, it's that they kind of work their way out with time. I need some custom fitters. There are 3 brands I am looking at. Two of them, Etymotics and Ultimate Ears look like they are selling the same product with a different tint.
Westone Labs appears to offer custom molded earplugs where you can choose the strength after the fact - 25 db, 13 db, or 9 db. Why would I be interested? Because if you aren't up close 25db seams a bit overkill, though maybe some would argue against that.
Any comments on quality of these 3 brands? Another one that I have missed?
