These are the ones I was trying to spell. I aid EAR*plugs, but it was
E-A-R Plugs. I haven't seen them yet with the "classic" included. ;-)


I get far more than 2 uses out of them.


Where I worked we had some like this that had a cord between them so you
could pull them out and let them hang from your neck when not in use. As
they were free (company furnished them) I used a new pair every day. I was
not in the noisey areas much of the time,but when I did have to go to the
noisey areas they worked well. There were also some others with the brand
name Quiet that are orange and you do not have to roll them up like the EAR
foam kind. Thew worked ok also. I have a pack of them on my desk and they
reduce the sound 28 db.

Sometimes it is how you insert them in the ear that makes a big differance.

I am not sure how they would work around a gun range as I always wear ear
muffs for that.
