ear plugs

[Fred Brown]

 Diane,
Do you still sell custom fit ear plugs? I have tried to reach you but expect
that my emails get filtered.

Since ear canals come in different sizes, one size does NOT fit all.  Women
have smaller diameter ear canals than men, and the sizes of the ear canals
vary by race.

I tried the HR-20's sold by Pianotek.  The first day I got an earache in my
left ear.  The second day I told myself; "Don't be such a wimp, Diane."  So
I wore them again and got earaches in both ears!

I even tried cutting the flanges narrower to try to make them
comfortable--no luck.

Diane
