Tell me about it, man. I too can't believe how painful the ear canals can get from foam plugs. It's even more painful when I try to pull them out. My eyes get all teary and watery due to the pain.
Having to pay a price for strong protection…. It's unbelievable, man. Can't seem to catch a break, even in situations like this. Ear conditions show no respite.Even prevent and deter us from wearing good protection too lol… Such a shitty feeling.
