Ear protector advice (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I want to get some non-single use ear protectors for concerts. I have only used bad foam single use ones before and I'm not sure how to approach this. Should I buy cheap ones like alpine to see if I even like it or does it make sense to directly go for customised ones? Idk how much customised ones would even cost.

Does anyone here have experience with ear protectors?

Your ENT also made the plugs or just fitted your ears?

The ENT just fitted me. She sent the molds out to a manufacturer.

You also got me at a great moment since I’m now next to my earplugs. I had a few points wrong so let me correct. They are called “HearPro” and come in -9db and -25db. There’s also apparently -15db available. Made by Etymōtic Research Inc (in Illinois).
