I agree with you on this one Chris; had a pair of ear plugs custom made 14
years ago and use them very often.

Steve and all,

the best investment I ever made was getting fitted for some custom 
earplugs. These are nothing like the cheap foam ones you've 
probably tried.  They actually attenuate things fairly evenly 
across the spectrum, by a set amount - 9db, 15db, 25db are common 
values.

You need to first get molds taken by an audiologist. Then, these 
are sent to a lab who produce the earplugs. Your audiologist might 
have a local lab he prefers, or you can send the molds to someone 
like Etymotic.

Pricy but come on, can you put a price on your remaining hearing?

Chris
