Exactly

I like the under water plugs... rubber and slide right in... usually come in a nice case. Work great!

I got a custom pair after going on a 300 mile ride and coming home to ringing ears (damage done). I know it was from the wind noise and not so much the bike. You adjust so you can hear the cagers and anything else you might need. I just wish I could convince my husband to wear them.

I wear them all the time, especially on long trips. Sometimes I forget when I'm going to work but not a huge deal, though I would rather have them in than not.

I'd love to get a pair of custom made ones since my ears are oddly small (from a surgery).

I wear them on longer rides, or to/from work. If I'm just going around town I tend not to especially if I'm running errands. I always feel like a bit of an idiot when I can't hear people talking to me when I'm stopped at lights...but that's actually saved me a time or two.

I have gotten a DIY kit from Cabella's before.

These are who made mine, through a local hearing clinic. Basically I went to this clinic in town (Beltone Hearing) and he made the molds, then sent them off to this place and they made the actual ear plugs.

I have them with a hole so some sound comes through. It makes it easier to hear things yet still filtering out the other noises. And they are lime green!

Mine were $75, not $100 though I called a couple other places and they wanted $90-$125, a few years ago.

Never wear them...then again I run stock exhaust. I don't think they do anything to "save" hearing unless the noise your experiencing is loud all the time. Hint, quit putting on loud exhausts ...punks. lol
