Yeah, the issue with free earplugs is that they’re… Well… Cheap. It’s a trade-off where the cheap earplugs are uncomfortable and make everything sound super muffled, so people are less likely to actually use them. Even a mid-range pair of reusable earplugs will be a huge upgrade in comfort and quality.

To be clear, the free earplugs should absolutely be available regardless. But there should also be a way to get some decent earplugs at a decent price, for those who are less inclined to use the cheap ones.

I get your point but tbf they aren’t exactly cheap ass quality. I am always actually surprised that they are fairly decent

Ofc if you buy some they will sound even better but the free ones are still better than no plugs for both health and sound reasons. Without them not only is everything super loud it is also very noisy (frequency wise)
