The very best product for a serious safety issue (or snoring spouse)
If you are routinely subjected to noise that is loud enough to damage your hearing you should buy these. After trying dozens of earplugs through the years I can state unequivocally that Moldex Softie 6600 ear plugs are the best product available. They are extremely comfortable and easy to insert and remove. If placed properly they will attenuate all sound adequately up to and include large caliber rifles.<br /><br />I would strongly advocate that anyone who is serious about shooting and who goes to the range frequently, wear double hearing protection. In other words a pair of Moldex Softies and a muff along the lines of the Peltor 10. I have always been obsessive about wearing hearing protection my whole life but still have significant hearing loss due to target practice. I only learned of the double protection technique when I attended a prominent shooting school and the instructors all wore double protection eschewing the trendy electronic muffs with microphones and noise gates. Shooters, RocknRollers or Jack Hammer Operators. Protect your ears and enjoy the music for long, long time.<br /><br />PS This is a bit TMI but the best way to put these in is to roll them between you thumb and forefinger along the long axis until they are compressed as much as is possible. Holding the compressed plug tight to keep it from expanding to soon, wet the end of it with your tongue and then ease the plug into your ear canal. If you have them in correctly as they expand you will hear something very reminiscent of a Hollywood sound effect when the sound is suddenly vacuumed out of the room. (Dude Warning: Ear hair is a problem and is probably making your special person a bit ill. Get rid of it.)
