[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 35395, member: 441"] Re: War Zone Hearing Protection Evan. I like the softer type that have two small tabs on one end. Not the conical ones, these are slightly rounded in the front, then straight, until the back where they have these two "tabs" molded in. They are usually bright orange. I roll them really tightly between thumb and index finger, then quickly stick them into my ear all the way until nothing is sticking out. Sometimes this provided too much attenuation, but you can always chop off the front end. I sometimes clean disposable earplugs in a cup of soapy water before rinsing in clear water. Doing this changes the consistency, they swell up, yet become a lot more "springy". Perhaps this will help in making them pliable enough to fit your ears? Also, you can get wax ear plugs that you kinda mold by sticking the ball of wax slicone into your ear and your body heat makes it soft enogh to assume the shape of your ear canal. I hate them as they feel sweaty and weird to me, but others might have different opinions. Just some thoughts. PS: Stay safe. [/QUOTE]
