Best ear plugs to wear to a wedding?

[Mommaof2]

Hi,
I have to go to a wedding next month. I am very cautious as to going. I have been to weddings before (including my own) and wore foam ear plugs. I had a bit of a bad spike for a few months not due to noise due to pregnancy. I am back to normal or I just got used to it. I do not want to make my T spike again or worse make it worse. Should I stick with my trusty foam ear plugs or does anyone have any suggestions of good ear plugs?
Thanks in advance!!

Get some custom made. Expensive, but very good quality. I have them and use it in bars and stuff like that. I paid around 1000 in NOK. Thats about 200$.

Like he said ^^^ either custom or i think youl be just fine with foam ones.. Im actually startin to like foam plugs cause i finally was able to insert them right and they really do make loud music or noise real quiet.

Many companies offer musician plugs which are wonderful. I have many patients who are happy with them. They are pricey, but there is a filter in them which will help filter out noise and let speech through.

Since the wedding is in a month, I'd do your best to find an audiologist or another specialist ASAP. Custom products may take a while to get back. Westone also has universal musician plugs too, though!

Good luck, good for you being proactive!

Yep, custom musician plugs all the way! Best protection and sound.

Custom 33 db plugs are better I think. The musicians only go to like 25.

The musician plugs are usually 9 or 15 or 25. They have a filter to let the conversation through and block low frequencies. I tried them on the noisy subway of London and they make a difference, I no longer worry about the screeching rails.

I think the earpeace only cuts down by 20 db.. I think more is needed when you have T just to be safe.. I was going through this whole worry thing on which ear plug to get for a wedding i was supose to be in and ended up with just foam ones but then landed in the hospital so was never able to attend :-/

I have used the foam ear plugs for loud concerts, my hubby said was so loud that he could not take it and we walked out. I had the foam ones in and I was fine. I have used the foam ones for weddings and other loud events and have always been fine. I am just more cautious now. Sorry you ended up in the hospital.

I think foam plugs provide the best protection .i like hearos 33 DB plugs .
Only thing is they stick out lil bit and people ask you 1000 questions as to why you are wearing funny ear plugs .

I thought ear plugs if properly inserted should not stick out or be visible from the front?

I always worry if my plugs are properly inserted for adequate protection. I saw on youtube that the proper way of insertion is to pull the ear with the other hand so as to straighten the ear canal. However, I find that I can never get a decent fit if I do that as compared to just roll and insert.

I wonder if anyone has any similar experience or advice?

Every time i have inserted foam ear plugs a bit breaks off and is jammed in my ear, i have to use a tooth pick to get it out, so i'm obviously doing something wrong!! i prefer silicone plugs that mould into your ear and feel well protected by them, i can slip them out and sit them on the edge of my ear when i feel it's safe to do so, and ram them in tight when some idiot puts me at risk.
