Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Got my ears done today

Work pays for custom molded plugs. These are my old ones, 6yrs old. Still in great shape. Should get the new ones in about a month. The company came in and did 400 and some so far. Two more days to get the rest who wanted them. I figured 2 week turn around but the gentleman said he'll have over 700 to do so...a month. I can wait. My current work good, and I can remember getting them done last time. I could still hear him talk when they were "setting". Just a slight mumble, but I could hear him. Today, he squirted the gunk in my ear and I swear I couldnt hear him or the TV and they had the TV up loud! Said it was a new compound. He said the old plugs were 30dB and the new ones are 38-40dB reduction.

Huh?

Did it feel weird having gunk squirted into your earols?

I've been wanting some of those for the range .... but I would lose them faster than a pocket knife.

... Oh,


Pray tell, about the "best" jab to get, again.

That’s a pretty nice work perk.

Your older self will thank your self of today. You don't get it back after you ruin it.

Ain't that the truth. I'll put on a jacket I haven't worn in a year and there's a set of earplugs in one of the pockets.

Nah, the gunk didnt feel weird. First they clean your ear and look in see if theres any piercings or such. Then they stick in a little piece of foam I believe. That felt weird...the right was ok, but the left if felt like he was gonna push through to the other side lol.

Thats what my new ones will be for , my old ones are still good for work.

Huh....?

Definitely. $190 for boots...these im not sure. I heard almost $200 per person to come in and do em. What they charge private im not sure. Again though, agreed, nice benefit.

I thought this was another haircut thread and you were going to tell us you had your ears lowered….or raised..or whatever it is that a haircut does. 😁

I already have some hearing loss. When I got hired years ago they had a company come in and do a baseline on all new hires. Still do it today for new hires. Once a year they come back and test us. I have some substantial loss in both. I wasnt always the safest when it comes to ear protection, and when you fire up multiple M88s during the day with no protection or in weld dept it takes a subtle toll. Im much better today with PPE.

LOL...im bout ready to for one. The girl down the roads on vacation but when she comes back ill be seein her. She definitely likes to rub her juggs all over ya....gotta get that repeat business lol

If that's the company that sets up the booth at the Harrisburg show then they cost $65 the last time I had them done. I would love to get a new pair if the db rating has increased!

I thought he was getting Spock Ears.

I have the same, provided by my employer at the time. They are fantastic.

I don’t need any help not hearing, that’s one thing I can do easily.

38-40? that's awesome, what, I said that's awesome.

I figured earings...
