I quite often wear the orange Max ear plugs my Dad acquired bushels of over the years as a logger and diesel mechanic, at work when people are talking excessively loud next door, or the general buzz of conversation gets overwhelming. I'm not sure if there's anything special about them, but they seem to do a really great job of cutting out the frequencies that make up background noise, while still allowing you to hear people that are talking directly to you.
- 1996 8y agoI use 3M pro earplugs in large quantity every year. I have a clean pair for every day. Would you care sharing more details about your favorite brand? (ex: exact model)
- megaman22 8y agoI think that they are these[1]. At least that is the same design; the flared-out base fills the ear and stays in better than most others I've seen. I'm not totally sure on the model; the plant my Dad worked at had huge boxes of the things everywhere, so you'd pick up a couple new pair every day. They survive going through the washing machine, so my mother accumulated coffee cans full of them that were left in pockets over the years.
