Thanks Bob, I am going to email them.If you have time to stop at a National event quick enough to get the molds done by Racing Radios/Electronics you will be very happy. I think they were just under $60 and what a difference they make.
They are at other than drag race events also, you can call to see if they are going to be at a track near you.
I started playing drums at 13 and when I started playing in bands I found that having ear plugs in acted as a good monitor for vocals. I also found that my ears did not ring or feel tired after that either. From then on, I've always played using plugs. I now use Westone In Ear monitors for playing.
Ugh, it's like pulling teeth to convince people how great, and/or how worth the investment, in-ears are. I just have the UM Pro 10's, and I've been very happy with them, particularly for single drivers and $150. With the right foam ear piece on them, there is no fit issue (mine have never come out, and I sweat and move a fair amount), and I have everything I need in my ear. I am the primary backing vocals in my band, and our guitarists frequently play direct with no amps, so I need a little of everything in my monitors. I would like to eventually step up to a custom mold, dual driver, but I am in no hurry at this point. I was going through a Behringer P1, but recently went wireless with one of the new Shure PSM 300 systems. It's a little overkill to have a wireless in-ear system playing drums (it's also the new "most expensive" thing I carry), but the freedom to get up as needed is wonderful. I also play guitar and some other instruments, so I'm prepared ahead, should I ever need the ability.I've been trying to get my singer friend to use in ear monitors. But she doesn't want to pay the price. They aren't exactly cheap. I paid $650 for mine.

That's what I have, and for me they took a couple uses before I got used to them. But they work great!I use custom fit ear plugs from Westone. They're expensive and you have to go someplace to get the molds made, but they work really well.
I can't recommend seeing an audiologist enough. Hearing loss runs in my family and damn skippy if I am not going to get my hearing checked and get hearing aids when the time comes. I don't want to be one of those "what?" guys.
