I've tried several foam earplugs, even ones supposedly for children but I find when the foam expands, it puts too much pressure on the ear canals & causes pain

My son is an oil field related safety officer, he was given a tip by “an old hand” some years ago.....before inserting foam expandible put a small coating of hand cream in ear and roll the plug tight between creamy fingers, plug slips in much more easily and expands in the canal....who knew?!!!

For what it’s worth, in tests Arai helmets never do particularly well in noise tests due mostly to their visor side pod design (compared to the more flush fitting Shoei and AGV’s) and the number of vents most of them incorporate.
I do love Arai’s though so a fair trade off in my eyes (ears?). With that in mind, I’ve just received another bunch of Moldex Spark ear plugs- notice they come in different colours per pair meaning you don’t get any cross contamination from left to right ear if you use the same colours for each. If other ear plugs are too firm these might be worth a try as the ‘7800’ are their ‘soft’ version.

I agree about ear protection 100% - I have worked around Gas Turbines all my life and managed to keep my hearing so far. Full on Motorcycle gear inc. ear plugs every time - if it's not worth wearing all the gear then I leave the bike at home and find another way to get there. Just getting clumsy instead and dropping things everywhere !! Oh, and crap spelling |
