A member asked:
Are there any issues with reusing foam earplugs, or using them all day? would bacteria be more of an issue than hearing loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are exposed to loud noise, reusing earplugs is a lesser evil. Foam earplugs are not expensive and could buy those in bulk and change them if the earplug gets soiled. You may also consider getting a noise cancelling headset. Wish you good health!
