I work in a manufacturing environment and put in ear plugs every day. Generally this is a two handed procedure, where you pull your ear back to get a good angle to correctly insert the plug, but after doing it multiple times a day, ever day, for years, you get pretty good at double fisting your own ear canals.
Every once in a while, you hit the angle and risk resetting yourself to factory settings.
The real risk is losing the fucking thing up there, and it really feels like you might for a second.
The ones with strings don’t have the same NRR rating as the foam ones and for prolonged wear can be quite uncomfortable. The only guys I see wearing those are in the shop or in an office most of the day and only wear them for a few minutes at a time.

This is why they make them with strings. I don’t have the dexterity to remove them otherwise.
