I got a set of mold yourself ear plugs. It's a two part system.. You mix parts A and B together and put them in your ear for about 10 minutes while they set up. They are very comfortable, and I find they allow a broader range of frequencies through than conventional earplugs. I got them at Wal-mart for under $40.

They work great, are inexpensive and Pianotek also sells them so the next time you have to place an order from Pianotek, add a few pairs of these and the cost of shipping will not be nearly as much as they are from the etymotic web site..

Available from music stores/guitar centers, or online from the manufacturer: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er20.aspx Available in two sizes, I appreciate that because I have a smaller ear canal and other plugs weren't as comfortable.
