Can anybody recommend any, I've got some disposable ( sp ) ones at the mo and I think I have funny shaped ears as they dont fit to well

Anybody recommend anything or brands I could try

I am also thinking about getting a custom made pair, where they take a mould of you ear, sure I read about these on here somewhere but I cant find the thread now

Thoughts / advice would be appreciated

Thanks

WHAT!?!?

oh right...erm max and max lights seem to work for me.

It takes a while go get the knack of putting them properly in though.

I spoke to someone (by phone) in my local hearing aid centre, he said they could make up customised moulded ones (fitted on a wire so as not to lose) for about £30, just drop in it takes about 15mins. I havn't got round to it yet, but shall do soon.

I have problems with in the ear headphones as well

I found a good fit for the right ear, just can find any that fit my left one without it feeling like its gonna fall out

You might want to think about killing two birds with one stone - moulded plugs with headphones in em. Expensive, but I imagine they'll work nicely.

I can recommend Ultimate Earplugs - I bought a set during the summer, after being unable to get disposable ones to stay in my ear. They're very good, very little road noise. Cost was a little high, but what price is my hearing worth???

Theres a thread on the VFR site, might be worth a read.

Last september I got a set of custom moulded plugs from Green Leopard London, £50 or so, and absolutley brilliant... just a bit more of of a liability if you're prone to leaving them anywhere. But better than the foam ones any day...
