So I ordered them, and they aren't worth the cost. They do cut 'undesired' sounds a little more than wanted ones like speech, but they also muffle speech to some extent. Any noise-filtering system will do as well. They also only come with one size of earplug, and since I have fairly small ears that makes them a little uncomfortable; all-in-all, I'm going to stay with the foam earplugs that conform to my ear.
One caveat is that I didn't experience (to my hearing, anyway) any extremely loud noises while wearing these; it may be that they're better at muffling the really loud stuff while allowing speech than other types of earplugs.
Aww, hell! This was such a promising idea!
To be honest I've considered wearing actual hearing aids, the ones that fill the entire ear cavity, and just turning them up or down. Could that be an option to achieve the same effect or better, do you think?
