Custom Hearing Protection
Your ears are unique, and so is your lifestyle. Clarity Audiology & Hearing Solutions, LLC can craft custom earmolds taken from impressions of your ears to offer a snug, comfortable fit and protection you won’t receive from one-size-fits-all, disposable earplugs. These impressions can be used to create plugs designed for hunting, music, construction work, and a range of other activities that put your hearing at risk.
Why Custom?
Better Fit
- A custom earmold impression of your individual canal will ensure the best possible fit. Human ears are just as individual and unique as fingerprints—no two are exactly the same size or shape. In fact, some ears are too small or too large to obtain an adequate fit at all with non-custom products.
Better Comfort
- Professionally made, custom-fit hearing protection are indis-putably superior in comfort.
Better Protection
- Custom fit hearing protection is also custom-designed to provide the proper amount of hearing protection you need for your intended use.
- Improper fit and improper insertion of non-custom products often leads to very poor real-world hearing protection vs custom molded products.
- Some non-custom products may conversely OVER protect hearing, leading to poor communication and/or poor fidelity sound in certain settings.
Better Cost
- Disposable: $0.25 per pair X 2 pairs/day X 5 days/week X 50 weeks/year =$112.50 per year
- Custom: $200 for pair which lasts ~5 years = $40.00 per year (or $50.00 per year for musician plugs with filters).

Custom Hearing Protection for Hunting or Industrial Settings
If you work or play around loud noises, such as firearms and industrial machinery, you may be causing permanent damage to your hearing. Prolonged exposure to loud noises and even occasional exposure to extremely loud or explosive noises can cause significant damage without hearing protection . Clarity Audiology & Hearing Solutions, LLC can create custom ear plugs designed to fit your ears precisely and protect your hearing from any number of noise environments.
Swim Plugs
Custom swim plugs keep moisture out of the ear canal, which can be important for patients recovering from ear infections, ear surgery, and other conditions that require the ear canals be kept dry. Ideal for swimming, showering and other aquatic activities, the fit of a custom swim plugs is the most important aspect.
Musician’s Earplugs
For musicians or frequent concert-goers, musician’s earplugs can save your hearing without distorting sound. Foam plugs offer decent general protection, but can distort sound by attenuating only certain frequencies. Custom musician’s earplugs are designed with filters to lower the volume without distorting the sound integrity. We can help select musician’s plugs that offer protection with the appropriate protection specific to your type of instrument or music environment.
