Hi Lemmy!
Loop Earplugs are too expensive. Does anyone have cheaper recommendations?
details
Details:
- I have Loop Quiet to cope with situations with a lot of chatter, such as at the canteen, where it feels like everyone is shouting.
- I bought a pair of Loop Engage because I dislike having to take my Quiets out to have conversations. They haven’t arrived yet.
- I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly and get dirty after a few uses.
It was on the pricier side, about 200 AUD, but I went to an audiologist for motorcycle ear plugs. They took a wax mould of my ears and has custom plugs made. They fit so well I could barely feel them and the filter perfectly silenced my motorcycle while I could still hear cars around me and the music playing in my helmet. I ended up wearing them at work (worked in a nightclub for a while) and I could still hear people talk. There were other filters you could get in them, like for musicians. Used then for years until my dog chewed them up. Highly recommend.
