Years ago I had a set of coustom ear plugs made up at a fun show (Love the things).. You know where they fill your ear with some goo, let it harden... ect.. Anyway I'm in the market for another set, but this time I want to have some electronics in them with noise cut out protection.. Does anyone in the hive happen to have the contact number for the gal that you see at the fun shows making/selling the coustom ear plugs? |
| I would like to know the same answer. I tried a pair of the Surefire earplugs but they don't have a good fit in my ears. Someone on a gun forum I was reading and I don't remember where I saw it but they said that Wal-Mart has a do it yourself kit for the molded ear plugs. I have not seen it yet at Wal-Mart and suspect it may only be at the Super Wal-Marts. |

I would rather have someone who knows what they are doing set me up. |

Quoted: Don't have her contact info handy, but the bigger State Fair show is next weekend. If you're not going, I can grab her number for you. Yes please do that... I with only having Sunday off that weekend and with it being Holloween, I think the odds of making the show are slim and none. |
I had just seen her card in all my junk in the basement 
Pretty sure it was EAR Inc, there's a number on the page to find the provider in your area. |

I bought some of the do it yourself Radians plugs, you can get them at Fleet Farm, and probably other places locally. These work decent, but you will find that its hard to beat the standard old cheap pinch and place ear plugs. The cheap ones have about the highest noise reduction rating that I could find for an ear plug. If its a matter of comfort, the custom molded ones are good, as they fit your ear, but do you give up some performance. My hunch is that its due to the fact that the custom molded ones are made from a more dense material, that will transmit sound through better than the soft foam cheap plugs. I paid about 13 dollars for the kit.

Quoted: Wow! $1800. I thought it was going to be expensive.  I detect a bit of sarcasm there,,,  . Spendy yes,,, However I'm around load shit all the time = my hearing is getting worse. So I really would like to save what I have. On the plus side I would be able to rite it off on taxes..
