hot steel in your ears
it wasn't anything like that at all. funny, but nothing like it at all. this last weekend we head south to Santa Barbara to meet the nice people at Ear Inc. who create instamold ear protection. the company is based in Colorado and the couple that we met up with are from Idaho by way of Santa Barbara. lucky that they were in town for a while and could take some time to do a sale.
it takes about a couple of hours from start to finish. you can get just about every color combination imaginable. or mix of colors. there's also two styles to choose from. an instant mold (impression) of your ear and a lab fit from an impression of your ear. we opted to get one of each to try them out and see which one we like better.
pricing is reasonable, when you can spend anywhere from $15 to hundreds for good ear protection, $65/$75 for ears isn't bad. the higher price is for a mix of colors. the lab ones are $110, but you can't take those with you on the same day. so for a few hours and a day for them to set, you can get hearing protection for a good price.
here they are doing the left and right sides for my ears -
okay, let's get that laugh out about having "pink" ones. they are actually pretty awesome as a finished product (just a highlight of pink amongst the black) and if I am going to promote these, I better get ones that are pink so the ladies I talk to can see them, so be it.
I'm not too tore up about the pink ones. the blue ones however are bitchin'. the blue as you may have guessed matches my phone and nail polish. okay so an overall review, since we tried them out yesterday.
they are easy to insert. they are comfortable to wear. they fit as if they were made for me, as they were. easy to take out. and for protection, they are rated at 30-33. and for blocking sound. nothing else we've worn can even compare. practically nothing gets through. we tried them around the house and you can't hear a thing. don't let that get out or husbands everywhere will be buying them to ignore their wives. (laughter)
once we get the lab molded ones, I'll let you know. but for now, these are really great and I don't have to touch my brain with leaded hands again. yay for me. let me know if you want more information and contact for these guys, they were super nice and friendly.
