Hearing Protection
Custom earplugs offer excellent protection from potential hearing loss because they are made from moulds of your ears. We offer a variety of custom earplugs designed specifically for different activities
Protect Your Hearing: Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable but occurs so often due to lack of education. Once damage to the inner ear begins, the structures are vulnerable and further damage is easier. There are many types of custom and non-custom options for recreational and occupational uses. If you are around loud sounds often, consider investing in a pair of comfortable, custom earplugs
Your plugs will be made for your specific use. They can improve the overall sound quality of what you are listening to, as well.
Custom Ear Plugs
Custom earplugs offer excellent protection from potential hearing loss because they are made from molds of your ears. We offer a variety of custom earplugs designed specifically for different activities such as:
- Musicians Ear Plugs: Custom earplugs designed for musicians, work by reducing sounds evenly, resulting in music and speech that is quieter, yet natural. Musician earplugs come with interchangeable attenuators that offer different levels of sound reduction for a variety of listening conditions.
- Swimmers Ear Plugs: When moisture enters the ear canals, it can cause itchiness, pain, and infection. This may lead to a condition called swimmer’s ear, which can cause permanent hearing loss if untreated.
- Noise Protection: High decibel levels in the workplace are a leading cause of hearing loss. Even though the use of hearing protection in industrial settings has been mandated, standard earplugs don’t always offer adequate protection from noisy equipment and machinery. Custom industrial-strength earplugs provide hearing protection for the most extreme high decibel situations.
Musician’s Plugs
Musicians are especially susceptible to hearing loss because of their constant exposure to music that often exceeds safe decibel levels. To protect their hearing, they need earplugs that limit the amount of damaging noise, but still allow them to hear music that is clear and natural sounding. That’s where musician’s plugs come in.
Regular earplugs cause distortion and muffled speech by reducing higher frequency sounds. High-fidelity musician’s plugs reduce all sounds evenly while maintaining quality, so that music and speech is as close to the original as possible. They include a number of interchangeable attenuators, filters that offer varying levels of sound protection depending on the type of instrument used and the venue played.
Audio or Fitness Enthusiasts
Ideal for today’s smartphones, gaming devices, computers and more, custom audio monitors (headphones) provide unmatched sound quality. Custom-fit to you and your ears, these monitors block out unwanted noise while delivering the ultimate in comfort and crystal-clear sound clarity. Many options are available in the SoundGear Tunz line.
Swimmer’s Plugs
Swimmers and those who participate in frequent water activities are at risk for developing a painful, itchy ear infection known as swimmer’s ear (otitis externa). These infections can also lead to a thickening of the bone and narrowed ear canals, a condition known as surfer’s ear (exostosis). Left untreated, both conditions could eventually cause hearing loss.
Keeping the ears dry is key to preventing ear infections that can cause problems. The best way to accomplish this is by wearing specially designed swimmer’s earplugs.
Swimmer’s plugs protect the ears by preventing water from entering the ear canals. They are made of a waterproof silicone that blocks the opening of the ear canal, providing a tight seal that keeps out water. Swimmer’s plugs are great for swimmers, surfers, rafters and snorkelers, and can be used to keep the ears dry when showering or bathing, as well.
