I'm using http://www.epharmacy.com.au/product.asp?id=3902&pname=Ear+Plugs+Antinoise+3+Pairs+Surgipak+6244 http://www.epharmacy.com.au/product.asp?id=3902&pname=Ea.... The packaging says it's -21db. I searched a little and found http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/369209-REG/Hearos_2210_Foam_Ear_Plugs_.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/369209-REG/Hearos_2210... which rates as -32db which sounds surprisingly high, but I've never tried it.
For the foam ones that I'd used, the wax I've got is much better. It could be the way I wear them or maybe their size. Using the wax earplugs, with very loud construction works at say 200m away, I can block out enough for me to work and I can't hear the TV in the other room with open door.
One thing with wax though, they are waterproof. I do feel a little pressure build up so it might take a little getting used to.
- pasbesoin 18y agoThank you for the response. I may give the wax a try. I recall trying a pair, many many years ago. I also tried silicon some years ago; from that, I have some idea of what you mean about the difference in feel. The foam plugs I wear are rated at something like -29 or -31 dB, depending upon which exact box I have (even though they all carry the same brand name). Even if the rating is accurate, it is measured against a frequency / frequency spread that does not apply much if at all to speech. Here's a resource I've been considering mining; I haven't pulled the trigger on an order, yet. http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/ http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/ It appears to be a Yahoo store account. Maybe pg could get us a discount? ;-) (Viaweb went to Yahoo, right?)
