Hi Alan,
    The Etymotic "universal" (one size fits all) plugs cost $12, and no
appointment with the otolaryngologist (or whatever that title really is) or
ear mold lab. So they're better for the cheapskates among us. A big step up
from using foam, and jiggling them to get a reasonable dB level. Etymotic
does offer a line of ear canal molded ones as well, at 9, 15 and 25 dB.
