30-6 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Out yesterday on crows using auritech ear plugs, which are very good and very comfortable. At end of play took left one out with a little struggle, but could not get right one out. It seemed too far in and nothing to grip on. No doubt the ear was sweaty, and I might add I clean my ears with cotton buds ( know I should not ) to get rid of excess wax, on the theory of not compacting it while inserting plugs. I did try gently prising it out gently with a Yale key in the field, but ended up having to tweezers it out at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Could you not push it out with your cleaning rod, from the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodp Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 There's an easy way that involves a large branch and a tree stump !! First off find a suitable fallen branch, about 2 feet long and 3 inch diameter. Then find a large log or tree stump just below waist height. That's all the equipment you'll need. Stand in front of the stump and drop your strides, place all your "tackle" on the stump and grasp the branch firmly in both hands. Raise the branch above your head and bring it down sharply on laid out "tackle". Believe me, the ear plugs will fly out :lol: This is a public information bulletin that is freely given .............................. photo's would be appreciated though :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Never thought of that. I thought of attaching some type of cord, but that is not feasible with this type of ear plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose man Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Could you speak up I've got a plug stuck in my ear ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJC Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've used earplugs on bikes for years, a good tip i got a while back was if they get stuck to open and close your jaw as far as possible, this changes shape of the ear canal apparently and can loosen them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 No, you're not the only one. I just slap a toilet plunger on the side of my head and suck it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 A pull down on the lobe alters the ear canal shape, may make removal and insertion easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
