Custom Earplugs & Earmolds?
Sudden or prolonged exposure to noise can cause damage to your hearing and is one of the leading causes of hearing loss. Hearing loss from prolonged noise exposure is often detected too late, meaning the hearing loss is usually irreversible.
Hearing protection is essential for anyone regularly in a high-noise environment, including target shooters, motorcyclists, airline pilots, musicians, construction workers and factory workers.
Anyone subjected to noise exposure needs hearing protection to protect their long-term hearing.
Although store-bought earplugs offer some protection, custom earmolds and earplugs offer maximum protection and a comfortable fit designed specifically for your ears. They provide more security in knowing that your ears have the best possible protection against hearing loss.
Whether you are looking for increased comfort, better hearing protection or the perfect fit, custom earmolds or earplugs are the answer. They are designed to fit your unique ears and are made from a comfortable silicone material, which means a tight, secure, barely-there feeling every time you wear them.

Custom Earmolds vs. Earplugs
You may hear these two terms, and although they are very similar in definition, there are some key differences. Only a hearing professional can assess which may be best for your lifestyle and needs.
CUSTOM EARMOLDS
Earmolds come in a wide variety of sizes and types. Some earmolds are solid, and some are soft or spongy. The most popular styles are full shell and half shell. Full shell earmolds are generally for high-level noise exposure, while half shell earmolds are for mid-level noise exposure.
Some earmolds come with a filtered attenuator, allowing for verbal communication while still protecting hearing, which is popular with musicians. These types of earmolds come in both
electronic and non-electronic models. Earmolds are also popular for fitting over certain earbud headphones, under pilot boom-mic headsets, and other specialty uses.
As the name implies, custom earmolds are made to fit your ear’s unique contour. Custom earmolds may be for you if you cannot get a comfortable or secure fit with traditional earplugs. They offer some of the best hearing protection available.
CUSTOM EARPLUGS
Earplugs are hearing protection, usually for the canal only. Some earplugs are solid, while others allow more sound to pass through. Specialized earplugs are available for musicians and medical professionals who still want the ability to hear most of their surroundings while protecting their hearing.
Specialty earplugs can be custom fit for your ear canal and are usually more comfortable than traditional store-bought earplugs. Custom earplugs come both with or without handles or detachable cords.
Earmolds and earplugs are not just for those who wish to protect themselves from high noise levels. Custom solutions are also available for other types of ear protection, such as custom earplugs for swimmers, hunters, and sleep.
Your hearing is vital. Take care to protect it for today and the future.
Whatever your unique lifestyle, your hearing professional has custom solutions for your needs.
