RE: Ear Plugs
You don't need to be an "old fart" to have hearing lose, by the way!. Young kids now seem to be on that very path dealing with "Ear buds" and I-pods!
Your best bet is dealing with the dispoable foam items, wear them correctly you'll be well protected! As far as the custom made guys go, you will find that they lose their effectiveness in about three years time! Things change as time goes by, that includes silicon within the plugs and your
ear cannal shape. There is differance between foam plugs, this deals with comfort I've found that the closed foam types (for me any way) work better for all day wear. One of the after effects of wearing ear protection , is that after a long days ride I find myself far more relaxed and a lot more focused!
