correctly, plus they hurt my ears significantly.  Foam vastly preferred, 
though more expensive in the long run I think.  (I prefer the Howard 
Leight leight sleepers, yellow and pink, 33db rating, very quiet and 
comfy but useless after a few wearings due to softening up enough that 
they won't go in.) >>

I have tried several sets of custom-molded plugs, and find I can't make them 
seal properly (small ear canals, perhaps). I just order the Howard Leight 
plugs in large boxes-200 pairs per box-from a safety-products catalog-they 
aren't very expensive that way-I like the Max-1, which is bell shaped, and 
rolls up small enough to fit me. Can't remember the company, but there are 
several on the web, if you do a search for Howard Leight-they don't sell 
directly.
