Ear plugs

CrazyKell · 04-05-2009, 06:55 PM

I just pickd up a pair of custom plugs at the Motorcycle Show. They did them right there. Was with my parents and they had a show deal, but because we bought 3 we got an even bigger deal. $80 each.

I wore a different set of plugs yesterday....blue Hear-O's I wear when I drum. I had to stop and change ear plugs. They blocked too much noise. The bike sounded totally different. I didn't like it. Back to the orangies.

The thing I like about the custom ear plugs is because they are flush with your ear so when you pull your helmet on they don't fall out like the foam ones do for me.

I don't wear ear plugs much and probably should. My hearing is damaged, although I don't know how much is directly from motorcycles. When I add the affects of race cars, rock music, jumping into a dirty swimming pool (That really hurt for about 3 days), 3 years of Drag racing a 2-stroke with 6in stingers, 5 years of road racing 2 & 4 strokes and 40 years of riding motorcycles in general, Oh and that summer night in 1975 five rows from the stage at a Kiss concert (Awesome!!), machinery and guns, I say "Huh?" way too often.

I'm sure it is just getting used to them, but my balance seems to be off just a little when wearing them and trying to a. keep them in while pulling on a helmet that fits right (tight) and b. remembering to put them back in after a stop, conspire to make me not wear them very often.

I will say that I am noticeably less tired after a long ride when I remember to wear plugs, so there is that.
