Default Hearing Protection

Can anyone in the Boston Area recommend a company that makes custom hearing protection? Having read the story in Aim about hearing protection when riding, I would like to have some custom ear plugs made. Unfortunetly the company in the magazine Earinc; doesn't have a retail outlet on the east coast.

I think Earinc can probably handle things via mail. Years ago I knew a band guy that wanted custom plugs (now everybody has them) and the company sent him a kit to make a mold of his ear, he sent it in, and a few weeks later he got some righteous plugs in the mail.

Maj, my wife and i were at a bike show in Springfield Mass where the Eastern States Exposition is held about a year, year and a half ago and my wife had a pair made by an authorized EARinc. dealer. His name is Cody Stober 77 Scott Hill Rd Lebanon,Ct 06249 Cell # [860]- 209-0379. Cost was $80 and was well worth it. Check him out.

Don't worry about it I have been called much worse!!! Thanks for the info I found an Earinc rep in Northboro,MA, that is if he ever calls me back.

Maybe he has the ear plugs in and can't hear the phone

I only wish I could afford some EARinc plugs. When I am out of this rut I seem to be in I am going to get some V&H Q-series for my ride. I want throaty and cool and my SEIIs are just getting on my nerves.

A friend of mine was going to get the ear plugs that are at the motorcycle events but kept putting it off. He had to go to a local ear doctor and when his exam was over he asked them about the form fitting ear plugs. He was able to buy form fitting ear plugs through the ear doctor that were less expensive. He loves them.

I am going deaf from being married way too long. I now use the disposables when I am on for long hauls. Gotta save what I have left.

That's what I use. They work fine.

John 1:14

It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the LORD.
----Abraham Lincoln
