What Do Customers Say?

"Great instructions in English. Very easy to mold the earplugs. After my wife unsuccessfully tried all kinds of other earplugs, these molded earplugs are a gift from heaven! Now we can sleep through the night again, despite a snoring husband who no longer needs to feel guilty."

How to Mold Your Own Earplugs

When you purchase your ACME DIY earplugs, you receive two small containers, each with a different material. Mix them well together, and let the hardening process begin.

Then divide the kneaded mass into two equal portions – one for each ear. Gently push and press each lump into your ear canals, ensuring that the material seals tightly while creating a smooth finish on the outside.

Once you've done this, just wait. You may hear a slight sound from the material as it hardens, but this is completely normal.

How Much Do They Reduce Noise?

ACME reduces noise by about 26 dB, which is quite significant. Additionally, they provide superb comfort, ensuring that no false air – and thus sound – can enter between the mold and your ear canal.

Alternative Uses

ACME earplugs are not only great for drummers and people who play or listen to music.

Good for Sleeping

People who have trouble sleeping due to noise (e.g., snoring from others) can greatly benefit from these earplugs – read more here. Since they fit well in the ear canal and usually do not stick out, they can also be comfortable to sleep with for most people.

Great for Motorcycling

We also know that motorcyclists greatly enjoy the ACME earplugs. This is because they hardly stick out from the ears, making it easy to wear your helmet comfortably.

Excellent for Hunting

Finally, we know that hunters appreciate the earplugs when out hunting. The good noise reduction, excellent comfort, and the ability to easily hang them around the neck make them suitable for this environment as well.

English Instructions Included

When you purchase your Ahead ACME earplugs, a detailed English guide on how to use them is included. You will be guided through the entire process, ensuring that you feel secure throughout.

Included Accessories

A small fabric pouch is included, where you can store your earplugs when not in use.

Additionally, you can purchase a smart little cord, which screws onto the earplug itself. The small plastic screws on the cord are cleverly color-coded with red and blue, making it easy to distinguish between the right and left sides when using them.

Can You Make Custom In-Ears?

Several customers have written and asked whether it is possible to make your own custom-molded in-ears using Ahead's ACME earplugs.

And yes, it seems that you can.

There are at least two places you can check out if you're considering this.

The first place to try is the Australian earplug webshop Earjobs. They have created this blog post, which shows how you can use DIY custom-molded earplugs (similar to ACME) to make a pair of custom-molded in-ears.

The second option is YouTuber Kennis Russell. He has made a video that goes through the entire process. You can find the instruction video here.

NOTE: If you choose to make your own custom-molded in-ears (not earplugs), it is at your own risk.
