Is it possible that you have ear wax build up and the ear plugs are pushing against the wax?
A few weeks ago I went to bed and the room started spinning. Lasted about 5 minutes and stopped. Two days later the spinning woke me up. Went to the ER and they suspected heart problems. Had an EKG, cat scan, chest x-ray and blood work. Every thing came back fine. They found wax build up in my right ear that was pushing against my inner ear and causing the dizziness. I had no loss of hearing.
Vertigo is not always caused by ear wax. It can be from crystals forming in the inner ear fluid.
Nope, my ears were clean and free of wax, I was thinking more in the line of the plugs blocking off enough air to cause the pressure imbalance. I was using a set sold under the name of "Eargasm" supposed to give a -21db reduction of noise.
Never had any issues with foam plugs, custom molded and surefire ear plugs caused great discomfort
But we've had a construction project across the street from my house, where the jackhammers are at it starting at 6:00 a.m. The molded earplugs worked great for letting me get back to sleep. I will be trying the molded plugs again on the bike.
Not trying to hijack the thread but doesn't your town have ordinances which prevent construction activities before 7AM? Check with your building department. If not, it's time for activism!
Ear experiences vary. I've tried molded plugs two or three times, from different providers, each pair produced an inconsistent and ineffective seal.
For me, foamies are much better. I used to use Howard Leight Max, now have a Moldex Pura-Fit dispenser on the garage wall:

Bought this way (200 pairs / container), they cost about 15¢ a pair. I can wear them all day with no pain. In fact, I usually sleep with them as well.
