Yes, I have the orange 3M foam earplugs. I’ll check out the Max ones as well and might try using them more often when I’m walking. Best wishes, Chief.

Great to hear your story, @Marin. I think I’m just starting my journey and going through a similar experience. May I ask—do you need to say the DNRS rounds out loud, or can you just recite them in your mind? Huge thanks for your detailed posts!
