Ear plugs, what do you use ..?

Think it's time I replaced my ear plugs.

As I have mild tinnitus I have to wear them, every day, even for my short commute but if I wear them for long rides, after a few hours my ears start to ache.

Lately,  I've seen these custom ear plug makers where you have to go and have a mould made of your ears then, after a few weeks they send you them but they are expensive.

Anyone ever had this done,  are they worth it ..?

My mate had some custom ear plugs made at the bike show one year, at vast expense I must add. Yes, they were very good, comfortable, great Db reduction BUT - he lost one.... Like me he's back to the disosable EAR bell shaped foam plugs.

I can never recommend Doc's Pro Plugs highly enough.
I use them for riding after starting using them for drumming and at gigs.
They sit in the outer ear rather than inside the rear canal and have a small vent which allows speech frequencies through whilst killing bass and treble.
They come in a lot of sizes and you do need to get the right ones but physical stockists should have a size template in store. They don't cost mega bucks so losing one isn't the end of the world.
Just be aware that they do feel a little sharp around the edges when brands new, it takes a few uses to soften them up but then I can wear them for hours.

* A mate had custom ones made and swears he'll never use anything else, I don't think you'd regret the outlay, it is just losing them that's stopped me doing it.

Bio-ears, or quality similar makes. You get a few decent uses out of them before they get too skanky.
As I'm actually Dave Angel, they have an eco afterlife as fire starters, helped no doubt with a goodly helping of earwax  and those curious ear hairs that men of a certain age are so good at growing.  :thumb:

Ultimate Ear : I renew every few years. I also have the plugs with speakers inside for ipod etc.
