I've been using them for decades without issue, FWIW.

FWIW I believe I got tinnitus after couple of months that decreased quality of my life substantially and probably irreversibly

You are either a scientific anomaly or a single data point. Or both.

[raffael_de]

Well, then I am another anomaly and data point. I'm using ear plugs for 30 years at least 95% of nights. Never ever had an ear infection.

[wlonkly]

And by induction, earplugs don't give anyone an ear infection. QED!

[bityard]

I am also a scientific anomaly. Seems there are a lot of us!

[saaaaaam]

You're a cohort now!

I have found it depends on how comfortable the earplugs are. If I feel they are uncomfortable in the ear, there is a good chance I'll get an infection/inflammation in the next few days.

[simondanisch]

Me too, 20 years without a single ear infection and without a single day without ear plugs
