I tested my purchase at a concert last night. I suffer from tinnitus and following a concert past the front row, I tended to focus more on my tinnitus. I decided to invest not ruin my ears. These protections are easy to use, discreet and very efficient while allowing sounds and live a good concert. Moreover, these protections even stronger occlusion mode allow to speak and hear people speaking near you. At the end of the concert, no buzzing, no problem, normal hearing as before, that was the purpose. I am reassured. These protections now follow me for all concerts.
