I’m about to start a new job working in an arcade and diner and want to wear some earplugs for when I’m working in the noisiest parts on-site, partly to protect my hearing but also to make it easier to hear customers and colleagues over the noise.
Do you guys have any recommendations for brands or particular earplugs types that would be good for this purpose?
Ive had very good experience with Macks earplugs at -33db. In noisy environments, warehouse floors, or even loud bars, I can hear people much much much better than they can hear me.

They have different colors so you can blend in, or stand out.
Also, make sure you are properly inserting the earplugs. Has a huge impact on how effective they are. I’ve been using earplugs for years! Before I learned how to properly put them in, and the difference was amazing
