Earplugs

Hi,

My doctor has recommended I wear earplugs at work so I can focus better and not be overwhelmed by background noise. Can anyone recommend what type of earplugs to use that aren't pricey?

    There are some extremely good noise cancelling ones with pass through at prices under £50 or even £30 now.  The technology has filtered down.  Have a look on www.techradar.com and www.whathifi.com for recommended ones.  Personally I spent a lot on high end ones but you can still buy previous models that are 90% as good as the latest version cheaper.  For example the Sony WF-1000X4 are about £200 but the previous model WF-1000XM3 is £100 in Argos and secondhand through CEX as A grade (Which in my experience means brand new and never used) are £75.
