TonyI Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 7evin, the only thing that should have been uncomfortable about your custom one should have been that they don't/didn't breath (sweat). I use to sell/install custom hearing protection so I kinda know what i'm talking about. I have a hard time wearing foam crushables they expansion gives me a headache after 30min or so. Foam ones give a db rating..IF THEY ARE PUT IN THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED! most people don't put them in as far as they are suppose to. I stopped selling because I didn't like the travel, people b!tching about price annndddd those seemed to be the people that didn't clean their ears....ever, yuck! The Earfuse one you have shown look like a good wind break and earbud holder but for best db reduction the stuff should to go in farther. (I couldn't find their db ratings) That being said, anything is better than nothing as long as its worn. ( if you install your own... we use to have your mouth open, about 1/4,1/2 inch or a Sharpie or clean finger, we used disposable foam blocks) seems to open the ear slightly so you can talk/yell and not have as much sound bypass. Did you call the company you bought your custom one from? they should do something to keep you happy. If that was sounding like a rant its not intended to.

7evin Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hey Tony, WestTex and I both went to the guys that do the Hearing Aid molds. Had a mold taken of our ears and sent it off to have them made. My wife's came out great she loves them. WestTex's came out ok. Mine are atrocious..... I would just about rather take an as$ whipping as to wear them for more then about 30 min. They must have mixed my ear molds up with Shreks or something... No matter, the ear fuse is like having nothing in your ears. Super comfortable and only $45.... Thanks for the info Tony, I'll send them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I agree with 7evin the three hundred dollar custom mold ear buds sucked. It was beyond painful to wear for long periods. After a week of wearing them our ears were so sore it felt like they had been hit with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
