Not as cheap as your option, but has a lot of the same benefits over active noise canceling devices (can sleep with them, compact, etc.). And hey, you can still have a pair of ear plugs for takeoff and landing!

Adrian — Interesting option. I’ll check it out.

I TOTALLY LOVE my earplugs. I use the Hearos Ultimate Softness Series. Neon is too obvious for me. These are peachy brown colored (the neon may not go with my outfit.) Because they blend - no one knows I’m wearing them. So you can wear them during the crazy loud safety instructions or if your pastor is droning on, etc. And they are soft - made from the same stuff as a squishy tempurpedic mattress.

Good idea. And they are also good for protecting your ears when you go with you children to hear some heavy metal band atommize the brains of America’s youth.
I bought my plugs and a gun shop. They block out more of the noise.

Not too sustainable is it?

I’ve been using this idea for over twenty years myself. I’m an ex-testpilot and always put mine on prior to flying to prserve my hearing which I did during my career on a very noisey aircraft flightline. Besides, most people don’t realize that noise is stressful to the human body. When on long crosscountry driving trips I also use them. You would be surprised at how much more realaxed you’ll be after the trip just because of the reduction in stress from the reduction in sounds from highway noises, window wind, etc. This works particularly well if you are a motorcycle rider for the same reasons. Stress is additive and noise is a big one! Foam earplugs are an easy cheap fix that works wonders. Great job Mr Pink, keep up the good work!
