I use the same pair of disposable foam earplugs multiple times. I replace them when I notice they've decreased in effectiveness, get dirty, or it's been a week since I last replaced them.
I prefer disposable foam earplugs because I don't have to worry about losing them; I just always keep a handful of spares with me. This also means I can give them away to other people if they need it. I hated the army issued earplugs. Reusable earplugs like those hurt my ears something fierce.
