Ear plug blow out ?

Did someone say try a banana?
Did someone say try a banana? That sounds uncomfortable and I think they would fall out too, unless you push them waaaay in.

I use these. They work well and are easy to install and reinstall. I think the foam plugs are a real pain to get seated just right.

When inserting try twisting them like you were "screwing" them into your ear, this definitely helps them get in there deeper and not expand back out before you can get them in there all the way. This technique may be useful for other tasks as well...

The cheap foam ones clean up nice if you leave them in your jeans pocket when you throw them in the washing machine. I know they're cheap enough but this makes em last even longer.

Wash and plug
The disposable foam ones work fine for me. Roll them up tight and put them in. They're only good for about a couple or 3 uses and then they don't roll up like they do when new. I get a box of 50pr at HF.
There may be ones out there that last longer but these are fine for me. Wouldn't do me to get an expensive custom pair because I'd lose them in a day.

I have used Hearing II plugs from Cabella's for shooting with no problem. They never fall out, but they are uncomfortable after a while.
I would never wear anything that would impair my hearing while operating any motor vehicle, though....I want to not only see what is around me, I want to hear anything that might alert me to danger as soon as I can.

I use foam and have never lost one. I wear them daily at my job as well. A note on inserting them: 1st roll them tightly. 2nd reach over your head with your free hand and gently grasp the top of your ear, pulling up slightly. (This aligns the ear canal better) lastly, after quickly inserting, hold light pressure against it until you can feel the plug making a seal. (otherwise, as the foam expands, it tends to push the plug back out of the canal) Also you can check the package for the NRL(Noise Reduction Level) as there are many different levels available. I wish I knew these thing when I was attending rock concerts in the 70's and 80's, I am sure I would be hearing much better today.

I use the same technique as DeepDigger and I've never had one fall out yet. Some of the foamies are better than others. I've Found that HearOs brand works well for me.
