Hearing Protection

[Avi Azrieli]

Over the years, I've tried dozens of ear-plug types. The most effective by far are these. BUT: you have to insert them correctly by: (1) rolling each one tightly, (2) pulling back on the top of your ear, (3) inserting the ear-plug, and (4) holding it in so that it can expand properly. If the seal is good, you'll have peace and quiet while still able to listen to music or take calls if you have in-helmet speakers. Also: they lose elasticity after a few insersions, so toss them away after a day's ride and use a new pair the next day. (Just to clarify, I have nothing to do with this product except as a rider/consumer.)

We have tried some very comfortable and effective foam or wax plugs with in-helmet speakers over the years and the plugs all did a mighty fine job. The problem was, the more effective the ear plugs, the louder we needed to play the in-helmet speakers. So much so that the batteries would not last very long and most everything was distorted. It was because of those issues we ended up going with Ear Fuze ear plugs and have not looked back since.
