Ear Plug recommendations

[rtsangelo]

I am interested in ear plug recommendations.

I really enjoy riding with the windscreen fully down, but I'm getting too much wind noise and subsequent ringing in the ears.

I have a new helmet, Shoei RF 1000 and it fits well.

I am a new owner and still have the stock windscreen, although I'm looking to get an aftermarket one.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I went to the local audiologist and had a pair of custom plugs made. They are not that expensive and they are comfortable.

For me they are much better than the generic throwaway ones

+1 on the custom plugs here. I tried everything else and nothing compares to them. If you buy a tall enough windshield it gets really quiet.

+1 - much more comfortable than the soft foam kind.

The 33dB foam plugs are pretty good. You can get 100 pairs for about $13.49 on ebay from a safety supplier. I got mine from softfoamearplugs.com. For me, the key is to not use the same pair too long. Throw them away and use a new pair if they do not seal well or get dirty. - Dave

My current favorite ear plugs are from Lowes. The ones I bought come in a box with over 100 in it i think (can't find them online, or in real life at the moment). They are orange and purple, and might be AO safety. They are very soft, and I can wear them all day if need be.

I used to wear the yellow foam E.A.R. plugs in the factory, and they were pretty painful after a few hours, these purple ones are as soft as a baby's big toe.

Your ears are different than everyone elses. I found two soft foam ones from E.A.R. that I like. I bought a sampler pack from one of the internet stores on Amazon. It came with about 30 different types.

I toss them out after a long days ride or if they get dirty or don't seal.

They really are a personal choice.

I use a brand called SparkPlugs. I get them from work so they are free to me. They are disposable ones that are attached by a nylon style cord. Work great for me for the price!
