I'm looking at some sound suppression.

I use various passive ear plugs (Flint/Mack/Pro Ears).

The PE's are more expensive @ $10-$15/pair, but she really needs to try them for comfort as well as sound blocking function.

Some sizes of the foam plugs slip out of my ears, some larger ones are uncomfortable after a while and our cats like to squirrel away the corded PE's when I lay them on the bedside table.

I wear them for migraine and to reduce TV SPL's when my wife watches @ night (only TV is @ the foot of our bed).

I find all the cheap ones to be about the same sound wise (maybe minus 25-30 db) with a TV putting out 80bB+, but I rarely wear them in public as I tend to stay home with headaches.

Seems that the foam ones I used in the late 60's/70's/80's performed better than what is currently available, but perhaps I'm just getting more crotchaty.

 Thank you ellajeanelle and dekay for taking the time to help with this.  I will suggest the audioligist and that other thing I'm not going to attempt to spell.

Good luck.

Some medical doctors have a tendency to NOT recommend specific products (these are probably the good ones;-).

My wife is going through a similar scenario with her hearing assessment via our healthcare and actually obtaining specific hearing aids.

@quantos ,

An otolaryngologist is simply an ENT, an ear/nose/throat doctor.

Good info...

I often confuse Oto with Yoda.
