Someone posted a site ages ago that flogged ear plugs fairly cheaply. The
site was fairly basic and they did a big variety pack so you could find out
what suited your ears. Can anyone remind me of the URL?

I think you're referring to earplugs.gb.com, but that site appears to
have fallen of t'Internet. Bugger.

Let us know what the result is, it looks like I'll be running out of
earplugs fairly soon again.

Swap them over between left and right, and you can extend the service life
by about six months on your current pair.

And then put the other end in 1st, that will give extra wear.

If you have a cat, it will sit there merrily licking each one clean until
they are spotless.

That's the fella's. I bought 400 packs of earplugs from them two years
ago. Very prompt delivery IIRC. Perfect timing because I'm now running
out. Cheers.

He's predictable, but that's to be expected.

Boots The Chemist do some decent ones (and some rubbish
ones) if are in a hole and need them soonest, look for 3 pairs
for £3 odds packs in a box, very dense compressible pink foam.  They do
tend to get grubby but with the frequency with which I lose them in the
dark or they otherwise go astray, replacement invariably occurs before
they become a hazard to aural health.  I did once clean some by soaking
them in neat TCP and let them dry out but they still smelled rank and a
faint odour persists around them to this day.
