Over the past few years I have tried many types of ear protection several muffs / plugs all I have found to be no good for me either too hot or just not up to expectations.
As I have very poor hearing ear protection is vital to keep what little I have left, I do wear hearing aids while not at work and my audiologist suggested moulded ear plugs.
Of course the price to have these done at $200 + time out of my day I thought was a bit rich so I found this place

I can report:
Pro's
They work well
They were easy to mould
Price is good
Delivery was 3 days
Con's
I purchased the full kit with lanyard and the lanyard is VERY flimsy after 2/3 days the ends fall out I have lost 1 already after putting a few granny knots to hold them. I have now resorted to a wire lanyard as I don't like losing things!
In short I now wear them every day have no heat or discomfort issues and I highly recommend them!
