Hi!

I'm currently on the market for custom molded ear plugs since i've recently landed a job as an audio technician (Hurrah!).

I'm gonna go to a local audiologist (Any recommendations from someone in Montreal? lol) to both get my hearing tested and have some custom molds made from my ears.
I absolutely need custom molds done (especially for IEM's) because I fractured my jaw when I was in high school. Ever since, I can't get "commercial" IEMs to fit/stay in my left ear.
 
So my question is; what are some good custom fit foam plugs? Current strores i'm looking at;
CPE - http://www.protectear.com/
EARPLUG Superstore - http://www.earplugstore.com/
Anyone has experience with those products? Or another custom foam earplug company?
 
I'll eventually buy custom IEMs but i'll need to do more research on those.
(Posted in IEM section since there are no foam plug/protection section and I felt (with custom molds also being an important part of high-end IEMs) it would be most relevant here.
 
Thanks!!

Generally you'd use whatever lab your audiologist uses, but you could send them to whomever you want (might cost you more that way). And they will be silicone not foam.

Oh yeah, I know they'll be silicone plugs and not foam, but I guess its easier to tag/comprehend what I mean when put that way...
Have you understood my post though?
 
I know I can send my molds to whomever, thats why i'm aksing for reviews and opinions from people about them.
 
You work for Perfect Seal Labs, correct? Your website looks great and the plugs even more so!
Would you have any products recommendation for me?
