Custom Earplugs

How can there be a lifetime guarantee on fitment when your ears will grow per time and they'll cease to fit properly?? Will he make you a new set??

I've got some custom moulded ear plugs.  Instruments of torture after a couple of hours.  They were made up by my local hospital ENT dept.

Just telling you what he told me!

Assume perhaps your ear canal doesn't grow maybe?

The canal won't but the surround that the plug moulds into will change over time (although not massively so). I was told when I bought mine they expected the lifespan of the plug for a decent fit to be 5yrs. I'm going to find mine now and try them!!

Ultimate Ear will be at silver stone next month at a CSS day, I'm wondering whether I can just got and get moulds done, even if I'm not in the CSS event.

I doubt they'll turn you away!

raydial got some done while we were at the mcn bikeshow last month
no idea who the company where, hopefully he will be along in a bit to advise

I used to have Ultimate Ear earplugs until I lost one. I think my current ones are by Auritech although I can't see custom ear plugs on their website.

I find them much more comfortable than foam ear plugs. The Auritech ones don't come as far out of the ear canal as the bulkier Ultimate Ear versions. They both worked well at speed but the Auritech ones have a sort of filter thingy in them that lets you hear more clearly when off the bike. I could still make out conversations with them in and my helmet on.
