Excellent advice, I use a little alcohol on the reuseable gray tips. I do agree that a better seal can be acheived with the foam tips and I have seen them advertised in bulk quantities, but they are for single use.
I don't want to gross anyone out, but I work in a manufacturing facility where hearing protection is mandatory. We have had instances of ear infections when people have reused plugs without cleaning them.
