They actually look good. Do they have different sizes? Can't seem to find that info on their website.

The metal core is separate from the foam tip. When you purchase the plugs they come with three tip sizes. Once you have decided on the best fit, you can order replacement tips in your preferred size. Each tip will last 1-2 months depending on the amount of your riding.
 
I have tried many different ear plugs with mixed results.
Some are good in fit while others do a better job in noise reduction.

My current choice seems to do well on both fronts: https://www.earpeace.com/

I really need a pair because I was recently diagnosed with mild tinnitus and mild hyperacusis(noise sensitivity). Was not a fan of off-the-shelf earplugs because I have narrow ear canals that makes wearing a pair painful and uncomfortable.

Do you guys wear earplugs?

Any recommendation or suggestion?

Should I buy custom molded ones?

Thank you in advance!

And they have other options on their website.

I got mine from Mesa, AZ as they have a provider there named Darryl. You should probably look if they have one near San Jose.

Ive tried a few different ways.

Custom fitting motorsport ear plugs
Bose noise cancelling in ear buds
3M foam


Going from a Bell to an AGV helmet improved the wind noise, 3M foam seem to be best for price and easy to have a hand full in the pocket.

Is it necessary to wear earplugs. I feel this is a hassle wearing them.

For the track, I would. Street, up to you. On the track, it let's you stay a bit more calm/relaxed/focused IMHO.

After 35yrs in a rock band...yeah I wear ear plugs. Ive got a box of Howard Leight disposable ones.
Theyre comfortable, cheap and work well.

Wind noise at 90mph will damage your hearing in minutes.
 
best one are the 3m foamys that are flared at the end. i never and I mean absolutely never ride w/o plugs.
 
3Ms also.

i live at 1700' and my ears equalize/pop around 3500' and again at 5000'. no problems with the foam type
 
I spent many years around helicopters and never wore earplugs when I flew. Now I'm older and smarter, if a bit more deaf.

I have some of the expensive ones but I find they start to hurt my ears after a while with my helmet on, so I may go back to the foam ones.
