Silence is golden
I have all types of earplugs to try to fit my very tiny ear canals. Up to now the best have been the very uncomfortable pine tree shaped multiple ridge inserts that were always difficult to get in the proper position. So I had to try Mighty Plugs when I saw them. They are excellent with some reservations. They are difficult to get fully seated in my ear, just like all types of ear plugs. They take a little bit longer to install since it is cold here and I have to roll them in my fingers for a while to soften up before tapering and working them into my ears. Once installed they have usually stayed in place and done an excellent job of blocking the wind noise that bothers me the most. One ear did slightly loosen up on a recent ride and allow some sound in but not enough to bother stopping, removing gloves, helmet, and balaclava before re-rolling and re-insertion since I was stopping again in half an hour. I am sure I will get better at getting them fully inserted as I use them more often. They are very comfortable to have in my ears and will be no problem for hours and hours at a time. They really block the sound so well that I can't hear anyone talking to me at all. I don't have a communicator system so I don't know how that would work but when getting off the bike and friends are talking, I can't hear a word until I pull my Mighty Plugs out. I give them two thumbs (or ears) UP!
