I rarely ride alone, always choosing to enjoy the riding company of friends. There's no secret that being able to connect with our friends by CB or other communication device, enhances the safety and pleasure of the ride.
Unfortunately, as we age, many of us start to experience hearing loss - no matter the quality of our headsets, we're not always certain we're hearing the communication correctly.
Earlier this year I attended the Phoenix Motorcycle Show and found myself observing the activity buzzing around the Fit-Ear (http://www.fit-ear.com) booth as fellow bikers were getting fitted for ear buds to use in conjunction with their communications system. I soon found myself in the chair getting ear canal molds taken and about five weeks later, the finished product along with appropriate cord adapter arrived in the mail.
The ear buds fit amazingly well and now with about 6000 miles of travel under my belt since then, I have to declare that I wish I'd had them years ago. I hear my riding buddies on CB very well, my wife and I chat back and forth freely and the music now is absolutely fantastic. Whether riding the desert roads of southern Arizona or in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, I get to enjoy every crisp note from Willy Nelson's guitar as he picks his way through a song.
I must admit I'll not easily forget the gasp from my wife when she saw the price, but whats to be said when you get to make a 'quality of life' decision.
