Does anyone else play guitar with ear plugs in? I'm looking for any recommendations and/or tips when playing.

I have a rare ear disorder that makes sounds painful when they enter my ears. I also hear my eyeballs moving. (I know, it's bizarre.) It was in full swing a few years ago but it hasn't been that noticeable until just recently.

The only bad thing about ear plugs is that they make the eyeball sounds louder. But they do help a little with the pain caused by the sounds. Other problems I've had with sound are dizziness and vertigo but I'm praying that doesn't come back.

Right now I have a pair of Howard Leight noise cancelling headphones. But it blocks out too much of the guitar. So I'm looking for any recommendations of a musician style of ear plug.

Thanks in advance. Everyone here is so helpful.
