These "slim" plugs worked best for my boys when they were 12, 13, 14...


They make a girly version also:



I have some of these too: Amazon.com: Howard Leight Small earplugs Designed specifically for People with Small Ear canals. Slim and Soft Ear Plugs Comfortable for Side Sleepers, Sensitive Ears. : Everything Else

They seem too small. They might work better for younger than adolescents. Another one like these are the "Nanos."

With kids, I suggest always using muffs too -- like the Impact Sport or Walker's Razor Slim models -- because kids may not know when a plug is not inserted correctly or if it has fallen part way out. They may not tell you.

Muffs are easier to confirm, but many of the slim muffs need plugs as well or their NRR's are inadequate, especially for shooting indoors or with a reflective surface. My county's outdoor range has a metal roof that really reflects the noise back onto the shooting position.

I have small ears and my problem is (was)standard foamies are TOO LONG.
When I get them in far enough the bullet nose tip touches my eardrum.
My fix is to cutoff the bullet nose with my pocketknife before rolling them up and pushing into my ears.

I didn't know they made/sold "small" foamies, thanks for posting the links.
I like that they are flesh/skin tone in color, I can wear them at home and my wife can't see them.
jmo,

Soft plugs never worked for me, even empty 9mm case were more effective.

Once I went custom molded ($50) I never looked back. Now my problem with the custom molded plugs is they work too well, and I have problems hearing range commands.

I have problems hearing range commands.

Good electronic sooting muffs like Howard Leight Impact Sports over your plugs will allow you to turn their volume up where you may be able to hear the commands better.

One of the best things I have come across was an ear plug assortment. Once the individual finds what they like, they can order a box of them.

My favorite of those turned out to be a design I never would have purchased alone to try.



The plugs my ENT doctor molded in my ears below the box are by far the most effective plugs I own and I use amplified muffs over them often, if I need to hear others.

Has anyone used the Howard Leight LL2 plugs?
I'm thinking of using plugs under my ear muffs for extra protection at the indoor range

You should always use plugs under muffs (or muffs over plugs) when you're shooting unsuppressed firearms.

I have a small pack of those for SWMBO and my daughter for the rare times they join me at the range. They like them.
