Brand new out of the package, I don't re use disposable plugs. And yes, any brand. It does suck, really bad, but I just wear my muffs and grumble, til I find the silicone ones I like, then again when I lose them.
For some reason, unknown to me foam earplugs give me the gnarliest pimples in my ears. Won't do them anymore. The silicone Christmas tree looking ones are OK, but foamies are a no go for sure. I don't ever want to have to use a q tip to pop another inner ear zit, and I really don't want to hear...
I like situational awareness, so I tend to prefer muffs, and only wear them when I absolutely have too. I wear ear buds fairly frequently, and they help with attenuation quite a bit, since I don't blast the volume.
