'ere my bike gone quite !!

I have received and used my Ultimate ear plugs for the first time.
Damn they are comfortable (1 1/2 hr commute) and they cut the noise down much further than foam plugs particularly at triple digit warp speed.

I know others have them but I am very impressed

[Muffles]

Are these moulded ones then? Home-made or bought? I was thinking of trying one of the £15 DIY kits, to see how good they were, foam plugs don't seem to like my left ear very much

They are the moulded ones, the hospital take an impression of your ear.

I've been looking at various ear plugs, and I think I'm going to go for the moulded one's over the foam one's. However, It's come down to a choice between the expensive ultimateear ones - or these, which seem to be very similar but DIY (and much cheaper)

Which are best?

Just had a look at the Ultimate Ear web site for prices (didn't see them before) - £55 isn't too bad for the ear plugs, but £170 for headphone versions

I want to get some but haven't had a chance to get to Kent where they are based. Where did you go for your fitting?

Thanks

They arrange for the local ear specialist at the hospital to take an impression took about 15 mins and you are out

maybe worth a look since i love my TL being Verrrry Loud but it probably doesnt do my hearing too much good.

I have similar moulded ear plugs and they are excellent. Got them at the Bike show at NEC last year. £40 for the pair, and have used ever since - when you forget them - you really notice it!

Not sure of the company name, but they are normally at the big bike shows. So perhaps head there rather than to Kent if too far.

Will try to find the manufacturer, but to be honest, think it was just some bloke with an ear "looker" and some squidgy expanding foam!

I got mine at the NEC last year, they took the ear impression there and then and 4 weeks later arrived by post £35 well spent and earjoy was had by all.
