	Also Rice Safety Supplies in Portland & Seattle as well as your
friendly local Fred Meyer store (Pharmacy Section) on the west coast. They're
probably available in most drug stores.

	I can hear such things as sirens, auto horns, and such with the foam
earplugs, but the background level is quite low. A main source of sound is
through the eustachain tube (connects the inner ear to the throat or whatever)
and I have noticed that the sound is modulated in intensity by my pulse! That
really concerned me until I understood its mechanism!

	I could not do without the foam earplugs. They're useful also at
airshows, in small airplanes (If you don't wear your David Clarks), and at
loud concerts. I went to a Bob James concert in Portland last year, and
they were SELLING the foam  earplugs in the lobby! I bought a pair just in
case, and I was glad.
