Earplug sampler pack

[OakLeaf]

Those are available in most drugstores I've seen. Are they really any different from the Hearos beige Ultimate Softness Series (same brand, same shape, same size, same NRR)? I was able to wear the beige Hearos Ultimate for two or three years before they too started becoming painful. Now, even two hours in those is too much.

I kind of refuse on principle to buy anything that's colored pink and marketed to women, especially if it's identical to a neutral colored product.

I'm working my way through the sampler pack and so far the least irritating candidates are the 3M E*A*R EZ Fit, and the Moldex Spark Plugs (which are the ones I was already wearing).

Moldex private-labels earplugs that are pretty much just like the Spark Plugs only smaller, but I've only been able to find them in plastic clamshell cases with two pairs of earplugs, and now I can't even remember the name of the company that sells those by the box. Sigh. (I know where to get more, they're marketed to motorsports enthusiasts and I can get them at a helmet shop, but it's not super convenient to me. Next time I'm in that store I'll look again.)




Dogmama, I got the "Just the Softest/Smallest" sampler pack. I'm making notes as I work my way through them, so far those are the two that come closest to working for me. I can put my full set of notes up here once I've tried them all.
