custome ear plugs

any recommendation for hairy ears rolleyes

I have only used EAR disposable ones. They work fine but cut out too much of the noise/ sound(39dB!) but provide good air pressure buffeting protection for my ears.

I was wondering how good the custome made ones are in terms of air pressure buffeting

 

I’ve been using them for a good five years now and find them much better and for longer.
I find the ones I have now from ultimate ear are the best I’ve tried as they use a dual silicone, so a softer compound on the bit that goes into the ear canal.
They cut out a lot of the wind noise but let you still hear the exhaust buy cutting out the harmful frequencies.

 

Cheaper option 3m foam earplugs certainly better than some of the 'purpose ' bike plugs.

 

“WHAT”

 

I'm tempted by these... my current "Bollsens" plugs are crap.
But at £100 inc the moulding, is it really really worth it?
How long do they last you?

 

Another vote for ultimate ears. I've had 3 pairs in 15 years and I only got the last pair this year so they easily last 6+ years.

If you wait until they are at a bike show you can get the moulds done for free.

 

go to any bike show and you get the moulds taken free,and they’ll more than likely give you 10% if you ask? they will last at least 2 years as your inner ear changes shape very 2 or so years.

 

Don't seem to find as many cigarette butts at the local dogging spot anymore so I've started to use foam ones from work there free aswell

 

I bought moulded ear plugs, when I first started wearing them after 20 mins my ears were sore. I placed the discomfort down to a hard silicone compound. I reverted back to disposable plugs. I might of been unlucky with the moulding, but they are not for me.

 

thanks for the feedbacks.
I called the company, the woman I spoke to was no rider and had zero experience of the product real world performance past the info on their website.

Guessing their cost is £10 or less & selling it @ £70+,they should emply a better pre sale enquiry person!

For now, I will carry on with my disposable ones, may try the decibullz @£30

 

These turned up today from Sportsbikeshop, thought I'd give them a try room in the case for a key and credit card too

 

Have used them in the past and found them very good mate, just got the arse with constantly losing one all the time

 

I've used them for quite a few years they're v good.

 

Bob uses them every time he’s out with lozzy

 

Thought you were going to say using,
used condoms

 

that's good feedback on pinlock's. I'll check them out since they have 3 stage seal.
I tried the mushroom cup style but did't get on with the the central attenuator sticking out.
I considered these but decided against the as I don't know how hard the mould is:

 

A few years ago I ordered about 5 different types of disposable plugs from eBay to try them.
I've used these for a while now. Works out about a pound a pair, have lost more than pairs than worn out.

I still use the 3M ear disposables.

HOWEVER - if you put your used ones in a wash bag and throw them in the washing a machine, they come out (almost) like new. I’ve been trying this for the past couple weeks and so far, so good.

(Before you ask, no I’m not a Yorkshireman )

 

I've been using EAR 39dB for years don't know how they tae to washing;
If you were pulling my leg, then I fell for it

 

No not pulling your leg or anything else.
