For passive in-ear protection I love the Surefire in-ear plugs. They come in a few different ratings and are comfortable to wear for 6+ hours with or without over-the-ear muffs. They also have a plug on them so you can open it if you don't need as much protection.

Thank you both. I'll look for M8 and measure the pitch

These bolts came included with a bench, but they are too short. I was liking for something 50 or 60mm but I can’t find the right diameter. Does anybody have advice? They are Allen screws and will bear weight.

Trust me I want to. The money isn't the issue, I will be paying for it regardless but I need to do it myself. My parents are stipulating that. Sorry I forgot to mention it. I do like that idea however lol.

I have had a slight problem recently. During a house party, a friend's plus one ended up punching two holes in two walls. One in my bedroom that I believe is concrete, and the other drywall in the hallway. I have absolutely no knowledge of wall repair and I need to fix the wall to appease...
