I'd like some working earplugs for playing in an orchestra.
I've tried several universal plugs suited for musicians, but all of them create this muffled feeling which makes it hard to play when I hear my own sounds in my head.
The solution has been to just insert the plugs half-way, which works semi ok.
Has anyone tried custom made plugs?
I've been recommended the Bellman ER but noone has verified yet how they work for clarinet playing.

I've had what were ostensibly the "best" custom earplugs, but the problem is that ANY paring down of the sound that comes into your ears reveals the sound of BONE CONDUCTION (that horrifying buzzing sound). There are plenty of "other" musicians out there that can, and do benefit from earplugs but I don't believe any of them are reed players.

You can get plugs that cut the Db equally across the range. I ended up getting a couple of sets with varying Db reduction
I found that too much reduction left me feeling disconnected. Always have some handy, noone cares if you are injured.
Cheers
