Hi, I need some advice.

Due to a series of unfortunate events, I've ended up in the hospital on IV steroids multiple times a year (I'm in Europe, where they administer steroids via IV). Because of this, I wear earmuffs every time I go outside. They're easy to remove when I need to eat, but my jaw ends up hurting from wearing them so much.

I'm planning a vacation where I'll be walking around 20 km per day in a city and will need to eat multiple times a day. I'm looking for earplugs that are easy to remove up to five times a day. Unfortunately, foam earplugs don't work for me. I find it impossible to break the seal they create. Twisting them is extremely loud, and the seal remains intact no matter what I do. I've tried all sizes and types of foam earplugs available here, but every time I remove them, I hear a "pop," which isn't supposed to happen and can damage my eardrum.

Is there an alternative type, like silicone, that's easier to remove?
