I got a set of mold yourself ear plugs. It's a two part system.. You mix parts A and B together and put them in your ear for about 10 minutes while they set up. They are very comfortable, and I find they allow a broader range of frequencies through than conventional earplugs. I got them at Wal-mart for under $40.

I use these too Ron. They work great, are inexpensive and Pianotek also sells them so the next time you have to place an order from Pianotek, add a few pairs of these and the cost of shipping will not be nearly as much as they are from the etymotic web site..

I'll agree with Blaine, but add that the musicians earplugs, made of the same silicone material as the ones he listed have a flatter response - and for me, are more appropriate for tuning work. Available from music stores/guitar centers, or online from the manufacturer:

Available in two sizes, I appreciate that because I have a smaller ear canal and other plugs weren't as comfortable.
