Thanks so much DJ and dholdi! I wish there was a reputation system here so I could give you both rep. Never let it be said that OCuK doesn't have some of the most generous people of any forums.

You don't need earplugs, you need the theme tune from Roobarb & Custard, an amplifier and some speakers.

Yellow/Pink Laser Lite's for me too, block out all noise at night and I don't notice them after a few minutes.

I went to a hearing-aid place this time last year to get impressions taken for in-ear headphones. I also got a set of moulded ear plugs made at the same time.

Not cheap but incredibly comfortable (perfect fit) and they really block out the noise.

Indeed! Very fast. :cool:

I held back from ordering some vaping supplies yesterday thinking they wouldn't arrive, but they probably would have done.

Have you made the hat yet?

I always make sure to lift a few extra pairs when working in factories. Much more comfortable to wear ear plugs when shooting as overhead ear muff style protectors get in the way of my gun stock and end up getting pushed away from my right ear. Not great when shooting inside a firing line with a tin roof and side walls.

Handy that we've got a stockpile in the office for when we're on-site so I don't have to buy them anymore

I wear earplugs at night so have tried lots of different types.

My favorites are these

Quies are the best for sleeping imo, you don't really want to use them if you are active mind you.
