DIY ear plugs what do you think?

[SimonB]

As the title says really what do you all think of this DIY kit, anyone tried it?

Linky is here!

Also does anyone have a professionally made earplugs the only reason I ask is that I have found my current ear plugs to be a bit useless sometimes.

Cheers all.

Don't do it.

You are putting silicon into your ear canal, do it wrong and it will get into the ear drum, when you pull the plug out guess what comes with it. Let a professional do it, who do this sort of stuff everyday and have knowledge of what to do for best results / saftey.

Look in the yellow pages under hearing aids / audiologist give them a ring and arrange an appointment. They will take ear impressions (which they do day in day out) and send them off or make your plugs in house. I think they cost about £50-60.

Here is one company my local Hearing aid place give me a catalog for when I went getting impressions made for my custom earphones...

Going off my custom earphones you won't get anything fitting better or blocking out as much noise. Custom earplugs are next on my list.

There is a guy comes to your door.
Examines your shell like.
Fills it with silicone Jiz. This is the 'cast'.
He sends that to the manufacturer who then spurts some nice (colour of your choice) goo into the mould from the cast.
Takes a week to 10 days.
About 45 quid. Last for years.

You can have filters etc in them too.
I think I have a card with me.
I had two sets made, as I use one pair at work.
But the fit is good and they only need a wash in warn soapy water every other day.

Well thanks for your replies guys I rang up a hearing centre local to me today and they wanted:

A custom mould £199

Off the shelf £89

Lol so I think I'll give somewhere else a ring those prices are a little daft.
