Over the past year, my ears have been generating an obscene amount of ear wax which has led to the most annoying cases of hearing loss (and everyone knows music sounds better with two functioning ears) So I'm fighting back and have a microsuction appointment tomorrow! I have also been obsessed with watching Youtube videos of the procedure - so satisfying to see them suck out all that goopy wax and see a sparkly, clean eardrum at the end!
Y'all, I just found this site for a company that does testing for hearing aids and they've also started testing ear plugs. They got frequency curves, audio examples, and everything. You can sort by price and rating too!
(Loop is the brand) Theyโre very subtle when youโre wearing them and they work well at concerts at least. Different size tips for different size ears make them comfortable. NY Times recommends Soundcore Space One and Earfun Air Pro 4 if you want to try noise cancelling gear on a budget. If you have the money for Bose or Sony, go for those. I recommend playing white noise with them to help mask sounds.
