Best Earplugs?

[j3gq_imp]

I’ve had good success with custom-molded silicon ear plugs, about $60. They’re reusable, cleanable, and will last for years. Oh, and they fit perfectly and are not uncomfortable.

From which source would one be able to order custom-molded ear plugs ?

I’d suggest a Google search for a local supplier. For example, https://audienz.at

You make me laugh (and cry a little). Ever since the emergence of the Internet conversations between people I know and little me end sooner or later by the other party saying "you can find this on ... the internet". This pretty much ends the conversation (I let you guess why).
Now the link you provided is even more interesting. Did you realize that this link is for people who hear no more, rather than people who hear too much (noise) ?

This is a nice article on ear plugs, the effects on your ear, comparisons with a BMW K100 with/without a screen. I drastically lowered the helmet noise on my Tiger by adding a little top lip screen extension ($18 cheapo from Ali-Express). The difference was night and day as it just pushed the airflow up a couple of inches over the helmet. I do find the naked CB quite good though as the airflow is clean.

I do too, I find them the easiest to use. Mind you I had been putting them in incorrectly for years until someone pointed out a better way of fitting them. I was never putting them in deep enough and they always felt a little loose. Putting your opposite arm over the back of your head and pulling your ear up and back really opens up the canal for a good deep fit. It was a Homer Simpson moment for me.

For the average motorcycle, I find it hard to not wear any half-decent ear plugs for freeway-based riding - no matter the helmet.

Try this page then, j3gq, https://audienz.at/en/earplugs/.

As to your other point, no, I can’t guess. Maybe you’d care to enlighten me?

I think I've tried most of the popular types and cannot stand wearing any for more than 10 minutes. My hearing is about ruined and at my age I don't worry too much about it. I'd like a helmet with some sealing around the ear.
