On a long day my ear canal may start hurting some but I recover quickly and have never felt the need to try another others. I have no doubt using them for the past 20 years has preserved my hearing.
I've been exposed to all those same noises too over the years, but always took care of my hearing. In spite of that, I have a hint of tinnitus, but it doesn't bother me. I can only hear it in a place with no other sounds.
When I came back to bikes in 1992 I started wearing E.A.R foam ear plugs and find them quite comfortable for long periods.
Recently, I bought a box of several hundred pairs and all my bike jackets have a few pairs in the pockets.
