When I had one ear ring on me for 2 weeks and I thought it was gone, I caved
in and got a custom made set, the kind reccomended here:
It will cost you close to $180, but it is well worth it. Hans, my bandmate,
also uses them now. Ear fatigue is down, and I don't have ringing in my ears
anymore.
We both use the -15db filters, as the -25db filters out too much.
BTW - I only wear them for practice or when I go to see other bands. When I
play a gig I take them out, because it's much more fun to play without them.
One added bonus of using earplugs, is that you usually hear all the little
mistakes, and the music doesn't sound as energetic, so you have to improve
your playing.
I suggest you try the ear plugs you mentioned, and if you don't like them,
bite the bullet and get the expensive ones.
Marty's suggestion was entertaining, but toilet paper is not really ear
protection.
Keep you ears healthy,
Ran
