New *affoardable* noise-limiting ear plugs!

I know fellow Dis-ers ask about ways to block the loud noises all the time, and the various suggestions are good but often not 100% ideal. I found these at my local grocery store (Meijer) last week while looking for EarPlanes, tried them out at the movies, and was thoroughly impressed! I didn't see kid sizes, but their other products did have adult and kids, so maybe online?

I haven't tried professional in-ears, like musician style custom fit that start in the $100 range, but a roommate I used to have had them and from what I can tell these work very similar, and were $8. I could hear my mom next to me speaking in a normal voice, but it quieted the movies to a point I didn't end up anxious and with a headache.

No Meijer here . I did a little search - some Walgreens carry them in-store, and Amazon has several varieties. These music ones are $19.99 at Amazon, "priced per store" at Walgreens. Still affordable.

We were actually at a different Meijer than our usual, the "fancier" one if you will than where we normally shop. I was astounded when I saw these as I follow a lot of special needs type blogs and whatnot but no one had mentioned them.
