[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1216527, member: 3828"] +1 - That has been my first hand experience also. I have some custom made, form fitted silicone type earplugs, but those only seal when they are inserted perfectly, and then can easily be dislodged while pulling the helmet on and off. The foam plugs, assuming that the right size is selected, seem to give a lot more reliable seal and higher amount of attenuation, at the expense of taking a bit more time to install them, and having to replace them every few days. I have pretty large ear canals, so most of the more common ear plugs are not big enough to get a reliable seal. I discovered the 3M brand EARsoft Grippers, which are a larger diameter of soft foam. They do a great job for me and are all day comforatable to boot. Unfortunately they are only available with the plastic cord nowadays, so I just cut the little cords off in advance. I bought a box of 200 on Amazon and shouldn't need to buy earplugs again for a good long while. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
