Subj: RE: [kl] Earplug replacement
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2002 10:42:58 -0400

I have a set of ER Musicians earplugs and it was the best money I ever
spent. I use them all the time when I play and when I go to loud concerts
(big band, rock, etc...). I've been using mine for about 3 years now and
they are still in perfect condition.

They take a mold of your ear and the earplug is made of soft plastic. The
filter snaps on the outside of the plug so you can easily change it.
