Pretty sure mine are -15 and -25 . I had the 15s break apart on me though
and need to get replacements. The filters are probably the most expensive

I think severing my own ears so that I could get someone to buy me
custom-made plugs in the US
might be construed as a bit drastic, even by my standards.
