OK I know this whizzing off at a tangent, but I hope your custom earplug experience works out better than mine. I did try some (using a local company) and the earplugs didn't reduce the sound level much and were always put out of place when I put my helmet on. Someone somewhere sells 'mould it yourself' earplugs, which I tried and they were utterly useless. I've even tried the reusable plugs sold by Pinlock (and also under other brands) which can be OK, but again I find them far too easily displaced by putting my helmet on. I must have big dumbo-like floppy ears or something!Stephen wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 1:45 pm .At the Milton Keynes show earlier this year i went to get ear moulds taken from Ultimate Ear for a decent set of earplugs,but my ears were checked and i had an ear infection so couldn’t be done,the same guy was at the NEC,so he checked my lug ‘oles and all was ok,got the moulds taken and have gone for plugs with the filters in,makes listening to sat nav and music better,not bothered with earplugs before,so it’ll be interesting to see how i get on,should have them before Chrimbo.
So for me, the cheap foam disposable plugs work far better than anything else, both in the level of sound reduction and in reliability. btw I find earplugs quite useful in a wide variety of situations especially in hotels etc as I'm the worlds worst sleeper and at home when the Police helicopter decides to pay us a nightime visit!
