I use these when playing music. They do a nice job of turning down everything, but I also fall back on the cheap foam fellas when I forget these at home.
But seriously, as a guy in his late-30’s with mild tinnitus, believe me when I tell you this shit sucks!! Literally anything is better than nothing.

I see I’ve recommended them previously. I think they’re worth the price as long as you aren’t prone to losing little things.
They are much easier to use and more comfortable than the foam ones that always seem to be popping out of people’s ears.
The only negative I’ve found with them is sometimes they block too much in the range of female vocals or guitars, but that’s been rare and probably happens with anything other than a custom made musician‘s ear plug.

I swear by these. Mighty enough for hours of techno, irresponsibly loud diy shows, etc. and they have great clarity/are so comfortable/are small. I walked out of a 3-hour Swans show thinking, "boy, I love not having tinnitus." ~$25 but so so worth it.

um yeah i love live music but i’m starting to notice my hearing going bad 😭 i thought ear plugs were dorky but actually?? they make you very sexy and beautiful.
im not gonna plug any specific brand … haha get it … but you can get them in lots of cute colors and styles and customize them and honestly at this point i don’t even care if they’re ugly because the feeling of leaving a concert without tinnitus is IMMACULATE

(minor spoilers, I guess?)
a few long take bangers in this film, but the battle scene near the end is so goddamn good. follow Clive Owen and the pregnant young woman in his care as they get caught in a skirmish between two warring factions. Cuarón is the best.
