What sort of plugs are you using? You should not be feeling sore.

I've got a BIG box of foam plugs fromn Protector Safety. Happy to send some for you to try, if you just tell us where to send them

There is a proper technique to putting them in

Cheers

I already have some hearing loss from explosive use in my younger days

I think this would be a far more interesting topic than ear plugs..

,, explosive use in my younger days so do need to be careful.

Cool. (Explosives, not hearing loss). Can you get hold of dynamite ? Or Semtex, even better? You could be in line to be a Heroine of the Peoples' Revolution.

Well, I used to be able to, but I cut my hair and got a real job about 10 years ago so my access to the tools of the revolution is now somewhat limited.

The story is not very exciting really, just potentially dangerous at times - avalanche control is a real buzz!

Try Macks Earplugs, got them from a chemist some time ago for my son, like pliable silicone... I just use the standed foam ones but some are more comfortable than others. Am now using 3M 1100 ones, and have had to use them for industrial use (8-9 hours at a time) with no problems.
PM me your address and I'll send a couple of packs out.

The main problem seems to be that I have a small head...

You can borrow my tongue.

Try having some moulded ones made.
I prefer an iPod on 11.

At the risk of sounding dodgy, ... to ensure the best insertion you should also open your mouth while you insert. Opens up the ear canal and equalises pressure I believe. Yes it looks a bit strange but it does work.

I use tapered green plugs from the local hardware supplier at about 70c a pair.

Under that avatar! No risk.

Saw an ad for these in two wheels mag recently. Emailed the guy and they have an agent in Ashburton and might have been one in Welly (??? sorry, email has since vanished and my memory is not what it should be...positive about the one in Ashburton though.)
They come with 3.5mm plugs so will fit most ipod, mp3 type devices. I'm planning to get a pair made when I go back to Oz in July. Hazy on prices though....somewhere in the $200-250 range? I'll repost something once I've used them for a while.
