I’ve tried foam earplugs, but those are impossible to use socially as everything’s too muddy. Also they’d end up sliding out eventually.

I eventually bought audiophile grade earplugs and they are FANTASTIC but the flange tips irritate my ears so bad.

I know circumaural headphones work great, but people have a harder time understanding I’m just using them as a filter to even hear them.

    I think it’s personal, we all have different ear canals and different levels of noise tolerance. I’m fine without earplugs during the day, but at night I need them. I tried Loop but they slipped out of my ears(nothing wrong, they just don’t fit my ear canals). I tried custom made, but they are too firm for sleeping and my ears will hurt in the morning. Foam will hurt too. Eventually I tried a lot of them for sleeping and settled on these ones, with two layers as they are a bit smaller and made out of silicone and won’t hurt during the night.
