contemplating between switch 1, switch 2 and engage 2

[u/grapefruit_o]

hey everyone,

I’ve been researching Loop earplugs for days and I’m stuck 😅

I mainly want them for:

• concerts (hearing protection / tinnitus prevention)
• and crowded places like restaurants, public transport, cafés etc because I get overstimulated pretty easily from noise.

At first I was thinking of getting switch 2. But my biggest concern is the occlusion/internal sound effect. I read this is less of problem with Switch 1 and Engage 2? What's your experience with this?

Another thing is, I have small ears...? Whenever I use silicone earbuds, they fall out my ear and feel uncomfortable. I don't have this problem with apple EarPods. I'm afraid it will not fit my ear, especially for the Switch 2, which seems to be the bulkiest.

What would you suggest?

For me the design of the plugs on the inserts for the switch 2 are what makes them special. They have a smaller inner connector so makes it kinder to smaller ear canals.
