Haven't tried any for music...but I posted the following on the list  in 
July, 2006.  Got a lot of thank you's and good feedback at SPAH that  year from a 
few other people who went ahead and ordered the ones made for  musicians. 
Perhaps they'll chime in?  I still use the plugs they sell for  flying (the only 
way I can get on a plane).

I've mentioned my ear problems on flights before...I lost my  hearing  for a 
while subsequent to having both ear drums rupture after a  flight.  I'm 
lucky...a terrific otolaryngologist saved  my  hearing.  Since my father had 
rather 
severe hearing loss as well,   that and ear pain have both been high on my 
list 
of concerns.  I've had  titanium tubes installed through my eardrums several  
times over the  years..permitting me to fly...but they only last a couple  of 
 
years.  I can't get on a plane without some sort of   protection...and not 
wanting 
to undergo yet another surgery, found this  company online for the last two 
years' worth of flights and  have  managed to muddle along with the help of 
these FliteMate ear plugs (the  ones available locally - EarPlanes didn't 
help at 
all).  Having to  order new ones for Denver, I noticed their inventory 
includes ear plugs  for musicians and music lovers exposed to loud noise.  I 
can 
only  speak for the in-flight  plugs...they've made air travel possible for 
me,  
but the other types might be worth checking out for those so  inclined.

Rick...I found a page on my site showing the 'Alpine' ear plug  available 
through the site (same link as yours) which seems to be  very reasonable cost 
wise and effective for musicians.  Disclaimer: I  haven't yet used any of their 
sound-blocking ear plugs, only the in-flight  ones.
