Custom Ear Plugs and Hearing Conservation

Custom ear protection or custom earmolds are devices that offer preventative care, helping you take care of your ears when you engage in activities that have a potential to cause temporary or permanent damage to your ears or hearing. Musical instruments, sports equipment, construction tools, heavy machinery and firearms often produce sounds at a loud volume or specific frequencies. People may experience high levels of noise directly as part of their occupational or recreational activities, or passively due to environmental factors. Prolonged exposure to such loud sounds can lead to both short-term and long-term damage of the ears.

Short-term damage could be in the form of temporary threshold shifts, where the ears become less sensitive due to acute shock to the hair cells. During this phase, all sounds temporarily appear to be dull or muffled, and the person regains normal hearing after a few hours.

Long-term damage can occur in the form of a permanent threshold shift (noise-induced hearing loss), eardrum perforation, loss of speech clarity or chronic onset of tinnitus. Activities such as swimming and diving can cause infections and fullness due to water ingress into the ear, chemical exposure and pressure changes.

We offer a range of custom earplugs or ear defenders to help you with protecting your ears in noisy conditions, swimming, music and orchestra, or any other purposes or communicative needs where generic ear tips are not adequate. Custom earplugs are beneficial in protecting your hearing from extreme noise while simultaneously preventing sound leaks, maintaining clear sound quality, providing comfort while wearing and prevent slipping of devices form ears. All custom earplugs come in a wide range of colours and are made of silicone that is flexible, soft and skin-friendly.
