[edit] Blu-tack

I had tried several types of ear plugs for swimming, with little luck. Then Blu-tack was recommended by an ear, nose and throat specialist, and also by a Queensland lifesaver. I've used it for 17 years now (not the same piece, of course!). It's at least as good as wax or silicone, and much cheaper. I mentioned it in the article; however, I haven't found an appropriate reference yet. --Singkong2005 14:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use for motorcyclists

The "musician/hi-fi" type plugs are also commonly used when riding a motorcycle, especially for high speeds (>100kmh) as the sound of the wind on the helmet can be quite tiring. I think it's worth mentionning but I'm too lazy to edit the article and find a more general title for the subsection and all that ;) 85.28.82.47 16:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Professional musicians' earplug

I added two pictures today showing my musicians' earplugs in blue-black silicone as you can get them from a Hearing-care-professional (Hörgeräteakustiker) in Germany. Many months ago I had added them to the german wikipedia-site of "earplugs" (--> "Gehörschutz) and found out today that the english version of the earplug-wikipedia-site only offers VERY LITTLE information about the possibilities a real good earplug - especially for musicians can offer !!! Maybe there is some hearing-care-professional out there who's mother-tongue is english and who joins my opinion and has fun to extend this wikipedia-site. these pictures mayebe are a good start.
