Good EarPlugs - On offer

[Navigator]

Our daughter is an Air Force Dr of Audiology, and one time head Audiologist for the AF. She is quick to let her old dad know of her displeasure when she has seen me riding without ear plugs. Years ago she was the consulting Audiologist for two ENT docs who were doing a study on hearing damage from motorcycle riding without ear plugs. A one time avid rider, she was very surprised at how high the decible level was, enough to cause significant hearing loss, even while wearing a helmet.

Boog, I too use the "foamies", but find them a bit of a PITA to get in correctly, the same with the soft latex ones. I've found that the higher end ear plugs insert more easily into the ear canal and provide better protect.

Just invested in some more (in Titanium).

Both - plus I machined up some specials in brass and stainless.

Does this mean they will be in the 'for sale' section soon?

I'd not recommend them - too feckin' heavy - esp brass. Eventually they droop.

I made up a set of Ali specials to allow me to test the non-mini foams with a mini sized spigot. They are a tighter fit, but uncomfy on longer runs.

I'm in
It's possible to mix n match for the second pair at $0 so I got one titanium and one titanium mini

off the rack plugs are better than nothing but I would highly recommend that you get made to measure ear plugs, I have a few sets and they are far superior to off the rack mass produced ones but you do pay quite a bit more.

I have some made to measure ones for shooting - but they're bleedin' un-comfy inside a lid for some reason.

Just poorly made try another set, but then again if you did not specify for a MCthey are probably sticking out of your lugs a wee bit and rubbing on the helmet

sticking out a wee bit and rubbing on the helmet

Nothing worse than it sticking out a bit and rubbing on your helmet. Brought a little tear to my eye

Roll between your fingers and stick em in. They go in pretty deep and are comfortable. If you pull them out - get a new pair, For some reason they never squeeze down the second time
