I used molded 15dB earplug from ACS that I also use for other environments (music, etc). They are way much more comfortable (like, you forget them) but also more expensive. BTW I'm looking for a place to get new ones in Europe, if anyone has got adresses. Will van Gulik On 23 Sep 2015, at 11:42, Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm down to my last couple of corded 3M 1110:

These work reasonably well in practice, with a rated nominal noise reduction rate of 29dB. Some people find them uncomfortable, but they work well for me.
There are other ear plugs with rated NRR of up to 32-33dB. Anyone have any opinions on what brands work well for them?
