Protect Your Hearing

Protect your hearing with comfortable, high-quality custom solutions designed for work, recreation, and everyday life.

Custom Hearing Protection for Greater Charlotte

A variety of custom in-ear products are available for many uses. They are made by taking an impression of the ear, which is a simple and non-invasive procedure done in-office in the matter of a few minutes.

Noise induced hearing loss is avoidable when proper precautions are taken. Whether we encounter loud noise deliberately, like going to a rock concert, or inadvertently as we go through our daily lives, it is undeniable that repeat exposure to loud noises has a negative impact on hearing.

There are two general types of hearing protection: headphones and earplugs. Each is appropriate for specific tasks, and their use overlaps to a certain degree. Some people in very loud work environments use both. Custom earplugs allow for a comfortable and non-disposable option for protection of hearing.

Industrial Earphones

Great protection for those working in an industrial or construction setting. These earplugs allow situational awareness and ability to detect speech while protecting ears from hazardous noise levels.

Shooters' Earphones

Shooting produces sudden, high-level sounds that can cause immediate hearing damage. Shooting earphones feature a valve that blocks harmful noise when shots are fired while still allowing natural sounds to pass through.

Musician’s Earphones

Musician’s plugs are custom fit earplugs that are useful for musicians and music enthusiasts. These earplugs reduce the overall volume of the music to protect your hearing, but still preserve the natural sound quality of the music.

Custom Earmolds

A custom earmold is one of the options used to couple a behind-the-ear hearing aid to your ear and provide direction of sound to the eardrum. Earmolds provide a comfortable fit and are available in a variety of styles.

Swim Molds

Custom swim molds protect the ears from water and pressure, making them ideal for those with perforated eardrums, PE tubes, or frequent swimmer’s ear. They also help prevent outer ear infections by reducing moisture and can even double as hearing protection.

iPod and MP3 Molds

iPod and MP3 player earmolds are available to provide a comfortable fit for earbuds, which do not universally fit well comfortably. If you listen to music while running or exercising but struggle with your earphones falling out, this is a great option for you.
