    Picked up some of these earplugs recently and highly recommend them. A nuclear bomb could go off down the road and you’d die of radiation poisoning before you ever woke up. Great for tuning in to the harsh inner critic while travelling this holiday season, so if you ever want to be trapped in your head with only the voices to keep you company, pick yourself up a box.

        I imagine they would have made tinnitus dramatically worse

        Did the vax do that? My tinnitus has got worse over the last couple of years and I can’t work out why

      how good are they at blocking occlusion effects? 'cos I’m an absolute bastard for that.

        I’m not sure I’ve experienced occlusion effects so I can’t say with confidence

          for me I’m able to hear the movements of my own jaw when I use loops or similar. NOOOOOOOOOOPE

            My Loops are great sitting still but I can’t walk around with them. Every step gets a weird ringing ping impact thing. Unpleasant with squishy soled shoes, unbearable with hard.
