In addition, the pressure they provide against the ear canal when inserted is also not very strong, which makes them even more comfortable to wear. If this pressure is still too strong, then as an alternative custom molded earplugs could be considered, which are formed to match the individual ear what results in even less pressure against the ear canal.
