Paul thanks for your offer, but I will not be out your way; a bit too far away. Here is a short video of the tool in action.

Chris
I read this comment when you first posted and had a really long hard think about it, as you can see, before posting.
I have to say that your experience is not my experience regards ear plugs. Firstly I should point out that there are many different types of plugs and not all are created equal. I have used ear plugs for more than thirty years. I also use ear muffs and sometimes I use both at the same time. This is both at work where I am in a noisy environment (power station) as well as at home where I tend to create the noise myself with woodworking machinery, chainsaws and other tools.
My take is that the ear plugs work the opposite way to what you have found and they in fact (rather grossly) remove wax from the ear instead of compacting it, although this takes place as you withdraw the plugs from your ear. The plugs I use are a tapered foam style, but there are also the harder plastic type that have a series of discs rather like the electrical insulators on power lines, but a lot smaller: I don't like those. I also have a pair of ear plugs that only fit my ears. They are made from a mould and very expensive. My workplace paid for them: Probably in excess of $150, but in spite of all that, I really don't like them. I do like the foam plugs we use at work and these are provided free of charge. There are dispensers all around the plant at work: Just help yourself. They don't want us going deaf and claiming compensation! There is also a foam plug, made from a coarser material, that is cylindrical in shape. I am not so fussed about those and possibly this is the type of plug to which you are referring.
I guess what I am suggesting is that people should absolutely wear ear protection when using anything that could impact on their hearing (this particularly includes pop concerts) and of course the type of protection you choose will be to suit you and your particular situation.
