3. Hold the earplugs in place until they cool and harden.

How often should I clean my custom molded earplugs?
To maintain hygiene and ensure the longevity of your custom molded earplugs, clean them regularly. Use mild soap and water to gently wash the earplugs, then let them air dry completely before use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners as they can damage the material. Regular cleaning helps prevent ear infections and keeps your earplugs in optimal condition.
Can I use Decibullz earplugs with ear piercings?
Always remove ear piercings before fitting Decibullz products. Depending on the piercing location, you may still use Decibullz. External piercings are usually fine, but internal ones may cause issues. If unsure, contact us. Always remove piercings before fitting!
Molding Issues?
If the molding material goes under the folds or ridges of your ear it can become uncomfortable. Remold the earplugs and make sure that all the molding material is contained in just the concha (bowl) of the ear. Use your fingers to gently smooth the edges, ensuring that there are no rough surfaces that might cause discomfort to your ears.

What should I do if my Decibullz molds feel uncomfortable?
If your Decibullz molds feel uncomfortable, simply remold them! Ears can change shape, and remolding ensures a perfect fit. Tips: Avoid applying too much pressure during fitting to prevent discomfort. Also, ensure the material doesn't push into ear creases for a smooth fit.
Earplug Remolding Tips
Just a few tips to be successful in the re-molding process.
• Use the smallest size of silicone tip for molding.
• Use 2 coffee mugs and pour in boiling water from a kettle - then place each earplug in the mug of boiling water for a full 5 minutes. These should already have the silicone tips and back plugs assembled.
• The molds need to be soft in order to get a good mold!
• Insert the mold into your ear, making sure the silicone tip enters the ear canal. Then spread the molding material around the concha of your ear, making sure the material fills the entire space.
• Any rough edges after molding can be smoothed out by just reheating the molds in hot water for a few minutes to make them soft enough to smooth, but not too soft to ruin your awesome new mold!
FOAM TIPS USAGE: For the most protection and isolation, switch to the foam tips afterward. With these, if you need more isolation, move to a larger size to find what works best for your situation. Also, for the foam, make sure to compress the foam before inserting the earplugs into your ears. This allows the foam to expand fully in the ear canal and prolongs the life of the foam tip.
Both ears have different fits?
If you find that one ear fits better than another, sometimes each side can require a different size of tip. So please use any combination needed to ensure a great fit. (Example would be a small foam tip in the right ear and medium foam or silicone in the left ear).
Foam tips offer the best protection and stronger seal if struggling with the silicon tips
Are Decibullz earplugs suitable for kids or people with small ears?
Yes, Decibullz earplugs can work for kids and people with small ears. Use small foam tips for a snug fit. For tiny ears, trim the mold slightly after heating, then reheat for softer edges. Note: Suitable for children aged 12 and above.
Are Decibullz Custom Molded Earplugs suitable for use while riding motorcycles?
Yes, Decibullz Custom Molded Earplugs are an excellent choice for motorcyclists. These earplugs provide a customizable fit, ensuring they stay securely in place even during long rides. They effectively reduce wind and engine noise, protecting your hearing without obstructing important sounds like traffic or communication devices. As they are re-moldable, you can easily adjust them for maximum comfort and an optimal fit, which is particularly beneficial for those who wear helmets for extended periods. Whether you're on a leisurely ride or a high-speed journey, Decibullz earplugs offer reliable hearing protection tailored to your specific needs.
Please note that some helmets do cause pressure on the ear which in turn could make them uncomfortable. Some also have a lining built into the helmet which again will put pressure onto the product and possible cause some discomfort. WE are unable to advise on specific helmet types due to the sheer scale of manufacturers and variants
