Hi,

I have a set of ER 15 and the audologist just refered to them as
"musician's earplugs". I am in Ireland but I know for a fact that
mine (and most) are made in the Netherlands so you should be able to
get them made cheaper.

I'm finding mine really hard to get used to and haven't been wearing
them as much as I should. I'm probably going to switch to ER 9's for
my purposes (a musician who sings). one problem is that when you
sing or talk with them in you get that sensation as if you have a
cold or flu or your talking with regular earplugs in. I suppose its
to be expected, though I didn't!

In-ear monitors may be the next step for you. No singer I know that's
tried them has ever gone back. You get the isolation you want from
stage volumes, and you get to hear as much or as little of yourself as
you like.

Best Regards,
