I suppose that the custom-made earplugs will isolate sound better, since they will fit
the auditory canal better and leave no small gap, but do you think the non-custom plugs
will be good enough? If the expensive ones do exist it must be because they work better,
isn't it so? Anyway, what you say sounds very wise, really. Are those 'mushroom' plugs
also inserted by screwing them in? It sounds a bit scary, but I must definitely try them. I
have no physiological problem in my ears that I know of, only a pyschological one. But
in case I cannot overcome it, the less money I spend, the better. And if I do get used to
them, I can always buy the custom-made ones afterwards, since the transition will be
easier. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for your tip.
