Custom moulded ear plug recommendations?

[rambaldi]

With kiwiplugs closed :( is there anyone else that sells the DIY kits that people have used?

Or at least a place that makes them for you, that isn't too expensive in the Auckland region. I had a quick look at prices, most seemed to be in the region of $200+ while the Kiwiplugs kits were $80 but obviously I got in too late for those.

Plugz 4 Lugz charged me $80 for them to mold them to my ears. It still fits perfect over a year later.

Knew I should have sorted it when I was down that way last month :( was hoping for somewhere a little closer to home now though but that is an option next time I have a weekend away.

Plugz 4 lugz closed too. I just bought elastin custom fitted plugs from pacific ears. Wasn't cheap but what price can you put on your hearing.

Plugz 4 lugz closed too.
You might want to check that. Caught up with them last weekend in Turangi...

Whoops getting them mixed up yes i meant the folks in rotorua. Anyway the elacin ones i got are pretty good. Went into a local Bayaudiology to get a mold, they post it to pacific ears and 3 days later its on my doorstep.

Pardon?

I used to use 'Ear Buddies'. They're actually designed for drummers. I guess I'll have to get some more as the original ones fell apart after a few years.

Exactly :)

That's good to know; I lost mine a few years ago :(
Been making do with the ones I use in music (beehive looking things) but they aren't as comfortable inside a close fitting helmet.

Sorry, we haven't been attending to many events (due to circumstances beyond our control) but definitely still available to make earplugz in Rotorua. We will be at the Paeroa Street Races next month. Sue 027 659 1583

Any plugz 4 lugz owners care to tell us about their experience with them ?

I'm currently using soft, silicone xmas tree shaped 3M ear plugs that work quite well.

I use them almost every time I ride (anytime I would be going above 50 kmh) . Super easy to put in but perhaps not quite as quiet as the ones I used previously (3M foam ones, although I might have been miss using those). There was a while I wasn't riding as much and I think my ears changed shape a little so they can be uncomfortable to put on at first but then my ears sort themselves out and I forget that I am wearing them. Would be happy to get another set in the future when I need them.

[nzspokes]

Love them, when they break I will ride down and get another set done.

[Gremlin]

Been using Plugz 4 Lugz since 2008 ish. I have narrow ear canals so not even the A* silicon ones worked for me. On my 3rd and 4th pair (one pair is backup, as I never ride without plugs).

[haydes55]

Great ear plugs, super comfy. Keep your ears wax free and they'll never come out on the motorway like I've had happen with foam ones.

Love my Plugz 4 Lugz, 3 years on I haven't had any issues to complain about other than when I switch jackets and forget to transfer them. Seriously considering getting a second pair at the upcoming Bike Festival (Auckland, September) and getting them with the integrated headphones.

I have custom molded silicon ear plugs. I use them for gun shooting also.

Currently using RADIANS ( Blue) I got on EBay from U.S.A. Cheap and are good enough to dull the " Why have you got Smurf shit in your ears?" ribbing.:mega: mind I suffer from tinnitus and most shit goes over my head anyway.

The rating is 26 decibel reduction. Before they set I put an arrow and a L and an R in the moulds which has been handy. Also have fitted a plastic box to the bars to keep them clean and handy as thing in pockets tend to get lost.

Never mind the cost, your hearing is precious.

Sue made me 2 pairs earlier this year and they're fantastic. Use one set for sleeping and they're perfectly comfortable. Looking forward to trying them out on the world's longest commercial non-stop flight at the end of the month.

[rok-the-boat]

Might get me a new helmet.

Are there any that keep the wind noise out so I don't have to bother with earplugs on long runs?

[Scubbo]

get these, have tested at 250+kph and loud stuff --- https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/rockets-earplugs-corded-6405

they are the best, as cheap to replace, soft-scrunched cone shape so they don't hurt after a while like a lot of the other 3M type christmas tree shaped ones, they are also small, so the helmet doesnt push them out of position when putting it on

[Navy Boy]

I had a set made by Plugz 4 Lugz at the bike show this last weekend. $80 well spent I reckon and the few times I've used them thus far they seem to fit well. :niceone:

You really have to test any helmet yourself, I learnt the hard way buying a shuberth C3 pro for a gazillion dollars as my hearing is terrible and I wanted the quietest helmet available (according to all the reviews)

should have tried a to get a road test first because it turned out my $300 scorpion is quieter, all comes down to head shape.

I can't ride without earplugs and a neck roll (which helps a lot). I Rode a mate ducati with termis and had a headache for haf a day after about a 30 minute ride. all I can say is Tinnitus absolutly suck and prevention is the best cure
(I can't handle pubs and cafes anymore as i end up trying to lip read and miss out half the conversations and I'm not that old)

[Ghost Lemur]

I saw today on motozone.co.nz the got the R&G DIY custom ear plugs. Anyone tried them? I was also looking at the Pinlock ear plugs too.
