I have a pair that have a tiny hole drilled in them, the idea being it attenuates loud noises, but still makes it easy to talk to people. I bought them for a specific purpose, and still use them all the time, but if I were going to buy some now I’d get ones without the sound passage for more noise suppression.
They are very comfortable and I can insert/remove them quickly.
The downside is if you lose them, they’re expensive to replace. Somehow I haven’t lost mine over the past 6 years.
I went to an audiologist who made the molds and did all of the mailing back and forth. It wasn’t that much more expensive, but it’s more time consuming because you have to go back to their office to pick them up so you can test fit them. I liked that process, because I ended up rejecting the first pair so they redid the molds.
Interesting, it sounds like the hole allows them to provide similar functionality as the Calm earplugs have. I’m curious but I lost things too easily and it hurts enough to lose a $40 pair.
