RE: Ear Plugs
I'm 34 and have degenerative hearing loss and severe tinitusstemming from my mother's side of the family.
I need to wear two hearing aids to function almost normally. I'm considering going to a 3/4 helmet to help eliminate any of the high pitch wind noise (this is my worse function area) and also to accomodate a headset intercom for me and the OL. Even though my hearing aids supposedly clamp and subduethose frequencies, I'm not taking any chances.
My point: Most audiologist's offices do custom plugs these days. Swimming, protection, etc...
If you're looking for something custom fit, you can visit ony locally and prices aren't too bad.
Like others have said, you only get two ears, take care of 'em. And to the haphazard young 'ens who think they're too cool for volume control; you'll pay a high price later on, protect it now while you can. You have no idea how fortunate you are to start off with a good set of ears.
