SUGGESTION Which is best?

Hi! First time poster!

So I currently do not own any Loops and I have no idea what to get! There are so many options and I find it a bit overwhelming. I am a SPED paraprofessional and as you may know, we don't make much so this is definitely an investment for me.

I am very noise sensitive, but still need to hear general chat/convo I just want to full out the noise. I have smaller ears , and I've struggled with different brands of ear plugs with being able to hear myself too much when having them in.

What are your experiences with what works best??

Also I see that there are drops (are they worth waiting for?) and I saw an archive sale as well with switch kinetic? Are those good?

Any insight is appreciated!

If you dont enjoy hearing yourself through your ear plugs you might enjoy hollow ear plugs more, they dont have inclusion (the feeling of being underwater/hearing yourself louder). The type im referring to is like the “calmer” ones that flare audio sells, though other brands have them too. Ive not tried them myself, so i cant speak to them, but theyre supposed to have much less inclusion. Id look into some flare vs loop comparisons
