Custom made hearing protection is available for children and adults with a variety of needs. Many hobbies and occupations expose us to extremely loud sounds that can cause hearing damage and loss. If you are interested in custom hearing protection, please make an appointment with one of our audiologists for a consultation and custom ear impression. Ear impressions allow for a comfortable fitting ear piece made just for you! Listed below are examples of types of custom ear plugs.
