Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / March 2007Free hearing protection kit promotion
http://www.hearingportal.com/people/ As far as I can tell, no strings attached. Just fill out some shipping info, answer a brief questionnaire, and like magic you'll get a box full of hearing protection goodies soon afterward. I just got mine in the mail today, and was mightily impressed with how much stuff they sent. Probably 60 pairs of earplugs, some disposable, some reusable, of various NRR ratings and styles. Also a pair of 26 NRR earmuffs. Enjoy.

Also a pair of 26 NRR earmuffs. Thanks for the pointer. I just filled out the form. Of course, I selected "other" instead of "software development." :-) Oh well. It's not like I didn't buy a case of disposables from them previously.... -- Michael > >http://www.hearingportal.com/people/ > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > -- Michael Same here, I just filled out the form. > http://www.hearingportal.com/people/ > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Enjoy. Working in a rather loud mfg facility I'm privvy to all the ear plugs I want. Problem is, I hardly ever think to put them in. We get tested once a year and my hearing has always been normal, even with all the rock concerts, bar hopping, and 3 decades of riding motorcycles. I do try and remember them if I'm going to be riding for several hours on a given day. As much to prevent fatigue as anything. I always wear them shooting too. That sh.t will cause ya to go deaf. > Working in a rather loud mfg facility I'm privvy to all the ear plugs > I want. Problem is, I hardly ever think to put them in.

Fortunately, liberal types are blessed with 8 times that of conservatives. So even with half gone I can still bitchslap you in a battle of wits while asleep. >> > Working in a rather loud mfg facility I'm privvy to all the ear plugs >> > I want.

I'm not a "conservative", I'm an independant, which means me and my ilk have it all over the "free dope and blame Americans!" crowd or the "praise Jesus and kill abortionists!" types. > I'm an independant, which means me and my ilk have > it all over the "free dope and blame Americans!" crowd or the "praise Jesus > and kill abortionists!" types.

I wear ear plugs almost every time I ride. I have to say almost because there have been occasions, rare occasions, where I've puttered around without them. If I expect to ride more than 30 mph, I wear plugs. Usually with shooting I wear double protection: plugs + earmuffs. In fact I just got a fancy pair of electronic earmuffs that amplify ambient noise but attenuate or clip high amplitude sounds (like gunshots). So I can hear people talk on the range, but the shots are extra muffled. Outdoors it's not so bad on the ears, shooting I mean. It's when you're at an indoor range that you can really do some damage with prolonged exposure.

Interesting article on earplugs with a brief history: http://www.slate.com/id/2162178?nav=tap3 >> http://www.hearingportal.com/people/ >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > http://www.slate.com/id/2162178?nav=tap3 Thanks! I just sent off for my kit. I find earplugs to be essential on long rides. I should probably wear them on ALL rides.

I was mightily impressed with the quality of the stuff they give away in that kit. It's the best freebie I've found in a long, long time. And I think the kit did it's job, at least for me. I'll seek out their products in the future, the next time I'm looking to purchase. SignatureJamin "I don't want a pickle..." -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
