thanks a lot guys!
None! You can't use em' on the MCAT, so get used to distractions. Study in a library for Christ's sake! Maybe the lord will give you the strength to concentrate.bbaek said:wanted to know what you guys feel is the best, or what you use now and KNOW FOR SURE is the best?

well that is the problem. even in the library, and i'm talking about the remote areas, get noisy when one or two ppl come in and just want to chit chat. and sometimes the ventilation is noisy.skiz knot said:None!

I'm a big fan of those as well. My roommate is up til all hours of the night so I need these to get sleep at night.RUscrewed said:Flents "Quiet Please". It is a sponge type where you squeeze and then it fits to the contours of your ear. but this particular brand is amazing. i am an ultra light sleeper and these things work like a charm. 29 decibel reduction rate which is the highest I have found in the market. it works better than the wax kinds and are more comfortable.
They aren't.bbaek said:and i can't take these study earplugs to the mcat? i thought study plugs were allowed? unless they aren't...
they're not. but the girl sitting next to me at the mcat got really frustrated during the bio section, and she wadded up some tissue and crammed it into her ears... it was pretty funny actually, especially when she realized she couldn't get it out afterwards!!bbaek said:and i can't take these study earplugs to the mcat? i thought study plugs were allowed? unless they aren't...
what are these called officially?Revolution #9 said:Don't use the cylindrical ones made from hard foam. Use the bright orange or forest green ones that are really squishy and flair out at the end. They work wonders.
i dunno, but i've bought them at walmart before in the pharmacy section. they come with a case that i thought was very cool.bbaek said:what are these called officially?
The kind I like are the ones they give out on airline flights (but I think you can get them in drug stores). They are called E-A-Rsoft Yellow Neons by the company E-A-R. These are the squishy foam kind and have 33 dB noise reduction. Also, they're free since my dad works for Continental!bbaek said:what are these called officially?
I do as soon as my roommate sits down at the table next to me with a bowl of cereal - I can't stand the noise of someon chewing. Also, a problem I've found with the earplugs designed for shooting (the rubber ones) is that they can pressurize your ear canals and mess with your balance. Seriously. The foam ones don't create this problem.microman said:Would you ever put ear plugs in AS someone was talking to you? I wonder what they would do.
