Subj: [kl] Earplug replacement
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2002 02:37:08 -0400

Hi list,

This may seem like a silly question, but I don't know the answer, so I'll
ask. I'm seriously considering investing in some of those earplugs made
for musicians because these days I spend about 10 hours a week in very loud
band and orchestra rehearsals. However, considering the hefty $150+ price
tag, I don't really want to have to replace them any time soon. For those
of you on the list that use earplugs, do they wear out? And how long do
they last before they do? Do I ever have to worry about the shape of my
ear changing or something so the earplugs won't fit after a while?

Thanks,

Robyn
