Hearing Protection During Gigs

Can you recommend a good product that will give adequate hearing protection during gigs? Have been using a combination of Silencio's in one ear and one of those expanding foam things in the other (left ear, which must be weirdly shaped as I have a hard time finding something to fit there).

What happens is that during the course of the gig, the plugs have a tendency to "unseat" due to sweat - especially my left ear - with the result is that I get more volume than I want.

So I'm looking for something that can withstand the heat & sweat and still stay seated in the ear. Am not able at this time to invest in ear molds and all that, so it has to be a more economical solution (or at least not cost $150+ that proper ear molds and associated products cost).

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Sincerely,

Hi, Howard--

Have you tried the type that "screw" into your ear? They tend to stay put a lot better and are relatively inexpensive. Here is an example:
