Only downside is that if the fire alarm goes off you may not hear it.
Just a thought and a safety issue..

A very valid point Allen and safety issues such as that should never be taken lightly or disregarded...and as my reply was more in jest, I am not advising anyone to do anything..it's all up to the individual..
However, from a personal point of view, the ones I mostly use 'MusicSafe Pro' are attenuating earplugs, that do not try and totally block sound, like solid earplugs do. They reduce overall sound level, but in a very balanced way, with three different filters offering different levels of protection..a little like having volume control, with balance and clarity, instead of full-on mute...The white filter offers low-level protection from background noise, such as street/ambient noise etc and I have found ideal..and I can still hear my alarm clock in my room, so I'm sure I would hear a fire alarm

...however, it may be different for other people....Silver filter for gigs....Gold for band practice/performing...
Besides, I always sleep with one eye open..
