Earmolds and Earplugs

Hearing protection is extremely important for anyone who is regularly in a high-noise environment, including target shooters, motorcyclists, airline pilots, musicians, construction workers and factory workers. Anyone subject to noise exposure will benefit from wearing hearing protection to protect their ears and hearing.

Prolonged or Sudden exposure to noise can and will cause damage to your hearing. It is one of the leading causes of hearing loss and when detected too late, the hearing loss is usually irreversible.

Examples of exposure to noise include: lawn mowers, truck engines, motorcycles, garbage trucks, chain saws, pneumatic drills, rock concerts, gun shots, and jet engines.

Though store-bought earplugs offer some protection, custom earmolds and earplugs offer the best protection as well as a comfortable fit designed specifically for your ears. Custom earmolds can also provide you with confidence knowing that your ears have the best possible protection they can when exposed to noise.

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 and half shell. Full shell earmolds are generally for high-level noise exposure, and half shell are for mid-level noise exposure. The type of earmold you will benefit from the most will depend on your individual needs.

Some earmolds come with a filtered attenuator, allowing for verbal communication while still protecting hearing. This is a very popular choice with musicians. These types of earmolds come in electronic and     non-electronic models. Earmolds are also popular for fitting over certain earbud headphones, under pilot boom-mic headsets, and other specialty uses.
