Hi all
Ok so both earplugs came today and I tried the PartyPlug Pro ones first (both earplugs from Alpine).
They reduced the volume a lot and when I watched The Infinity War trailer with full volume on my tablet it felt like I was listening to it at half the volume with the plugs, and when I used my hairdryer again no spike afterwards and was able to dry my hair in peace.
So the PartyPlug plugs are good and they work but after about an hour and a half they started to become a little uncomfortable, so then I tried the MusicSafe Pro ones and put the gold filters in and I watched the trailer and did the hairdryer test again and saw no difference to the PartyPlug, they both are the same at reduction so the trailer still felt like half volume with the MusicSafe ones.
The plus side for the MusicSafe were that they were easier to insert into my ears as they come with this plastic thing that helps put them in whereas the PartyPlug Pro did not so they were a bit more fiddly.
The MusicSafe Pro are also more comfortable to wear and they were still comfy after 2hrs (I watched several videos of Infinity War and Deadpool 2 on high volume, never once got a spike after wearing them), but the only downside was that the MusicSafe earplugs were only uncomfortable in one ear, my right ear, so I'm not sure if there's something wrong with that ear?
The only other thing is I noticed that the PartyPlug Pro ones reduced my tinnitus so that even in talking scenes I could not hear my tinnitus but with the MusicSafe Pro ones I could still hear my tinnitus, so not sure why the PartyPlug Pro reduced tinnitus and the MusicSafe Pro did not?
I'm glad that both work and that I'm 100% confident that I will be fine on Friday when going to see Infinity War.
Any ideas on why my right ear hurts with the plugs in (both plugs hurt in my right ear)?
My left ear is more comfy with the MusicSafe Pro and they are easier to put in so am leaning towards wearing them.
