looking for earplug recommendations (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

I would also like to know! I find most in-ear devices give me an earache or headache after a while (and don't really do a great job of blocking out all noise).

So far I haven't found anything better than over-ear, active noise cancelling headphones.

You might also have some luck with over the ear jobsite ear muffs like the ones made by 3M. If you wanted to maximize quietness you could potentially even try them together with noise cancelling earbuds 😅. Or just regular earbuds but then active noise cancelling might be better anyway.

In my case earplugs usually give me an ear infection cause they compact my earwax, but at my old job I loved using the earmuffs to keep it quiet in our loud-as-shit workshop
