   That name sounds familiar. I had some I bought 10 or 15 yrs ago that
was made of rubber, it had three rubber circles on the part you inserted
into your ear - getting bigger as it went out, and the outside was shaped
like a cylinder - actually it held a metal cylinder that you could pop out
when you washed them. Does that sound like Sonic II's?
