Custom Ear Plugs & Handsfree

[cbay]

Evening All!

I am interested in getting some custom moulded Ear Plugs made but was wondering who had them and what company they recommend.

I would love to have some moulded ear plugs that kept out the noise but also worked with a handsfree kit, maybe with the microphone coming out on the one mould. Is this possible?

That would obviously work with an iPhone 4, wirelessly or by plugging into the jack.

I have custom moulded ones and TBH they aren't great. They extrude too far out of the ear and rest against the padding inside the helmet. This just transfers wind noise down the mould and into the ear.

This was my experience.

I have some Chris. They are absolutely fantastic, I panic if I lose one of them, as I did in France... I refused to leave the camp site until I had found it. I got them through an audiologist. Many on here will know that I'm partly deaf. If I didn't wear earplugs on the bike, my ears would ring for days afterwards, and I wear them to protect the hearing that I have left. They are so good that I forget that I have them in. Not cheap, mind. I'm sure they'd do them with a handsfree gizmo.

Could have recovered that by aiming it at mrspeirs...

I have looked into custom ones but have a steady supply of the disposable ones and they seem to be fine for me so cant justify the extra cost.

Ah you must have seen the bikers from the emergency services with them then?
The local fuzz were doing some safe riding promotion at the local bike meet and all the biker coppers had them dangling from their necks with the mic attached to one.

They do look pretty cool, and i should imagine pretty useful to, ill keep an eye out as i wouldnt mind saving my hearing, especially being a drummer and loving loud music, im rarely in a quiet atmosphere

Im off the to the Excel MCN show tomorow, the shows usually have a few stands set up so ill keep an eye out

Ultimate Ear are quite good.

I have a set from Ultimate ear, I would recommend them to anyone. When they took the moulds for mine they appeared to be working on a setup as you describe, with the microphone built in this was a few years ago so may well be available.
