Ear Plug
Tactical Hearing Protection with Ear Plugs for Army
Continuous exposure to loud noise can cause damage to the auditory canal and is most commonly seen in people who work in industries, airport tarmac etc. Apart from hearing impairment exposure to noise can also cause high blood pressure, muscle tension, migraine, headaches, irritability, insomnia, increased aggression and psychological disorders.
According to theOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), employers are required to reduce noise at the source through engineering solutions and if it is not possible or economically feasible it is acceptable to use hearing protection devices as a temporary solution. These hearing protection devices protect the ear drum against loud noise but the challenge is to find the right HPD for the environment.
A large number of soldiers returning from war report of hearing loss due to being exposed to gunshot and explosions to machinery and heavy vehicle noise. Many of them refuse to wear their hearing protection devices (HPDs) because they feel that earplugs interfere with their ability to detect and focus on the enemy and their friends. The detection problem can easily be handled with electronic devices with low-noise microphones. Research also shows that the single biggest reason why people remove or avoid wearing hearing protection is the need to communicate with others.
There is a need for an industrial ear plugs product solution for all military noise environments that provides a unique added benefit of enabling clear communication via two-way, mobile and face to face.
They also demandhearing protection devices that have high level of comfort, excellent noise reduction properties as well as ease of insertion. Ear plugs should be easy to administer and offers a high level of hygiene. These plugs should provide excellent attenuation and meets with employee acceptance. There are many kinds of ear plugs, each type suited to different levels of noise and activities.
Your ears require a certain type of ear plug with different noise reduction ratings (also known as NRRs). Apart from effective hearing protection, these ear plugs should grant the ability to communicate with people face to face and on two way radios effectively. Earplugs lower background noise to a safe level, enabling users to maintain situational awareness and identify the direction of speech, which is critical for safety.
With noise induced hearing Loss (NIHL) now rated as the world's largest occupational illness by the World health Organization (WHO), military should procure hearing protection devices that can provide for all the above right from comfort to situational awareness.

You might be speaking of Tapers, Tapers can be worn as jewelery or used to stretch out the ear lobe piercing gradually over time to make the ear holes larger, and these pieces can come in many shapes and sizes.
The different sizes are called gauges.
There are several ways people can go about having larger gauges; Dermal Punching, Scalpelling & Stretching.
A professional piercer should be consulted for all of the above, as incorrect procedures can lead to serious injuries.
You can go through bmezine.com for some galleries of large gauge ears.

and here is some information to read through and learn about this modification
http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Stretched_Earlobe_Piercing
The two cons about lobe guaging is what is called 'blow outs',
"When a piercing is stretched too quickly (a rate which is different for everyone), the skin tunnel (fistula) can be forced out the back of the piercing by the pressure. The result is an unsightly "lip" around the edge. If stretching continues, this lip can grow dramatically."
http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Piercing_Blow-out
and what is called 'cheese', it's gunky dead skin cells that gather around the piercing and have a really disgusting cheese like smell to it (like fart and cheese lol). It's best to look through as much information on how to take care of these types of modifications, so you know what you are getting into
