How Custom Ear Plugs Can Work For You
Custom ear plugs can help protect you against noise-induced hearing loss; caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises over 85 decibels (dB), such as loud music, sporting events, industrial workplaces, or brief exposures to intense sounds, like gunshots. Swimmers and individuals with PE tubes or ruptured eardrums who need to keep water out of their ears and light sleepers can use them for personal reasons. We can make custom ear plugs based on your lifestyle and preferences at our Toronto hearing clinic.

FAQ
When should I wear ear plugs for hearing protection?
You should wear ear plugs whenever you’re exposed to loud noises for prolonged periods of time, including lawnmowers, chainsaws, and other power tools. You should also wear them at loud music and sporting events, when playing music or working in industrial areas.
Why should I choose custom ear plugs over standard and molded ones?
Custom ear plugs are made to fit the unique shape of your ear, and as a result, are more comfortable and offer better, more consistent protection for your ears.
How can I tell if I'm at risk for noise-induced hearing loss?
Some occupations, such as farmers, musicians and construction workers, come with a higher risk of noise exposure and can result in hearing loss. Ear plugs can reduce exposure and risks of hearing loss and permanent impairments.
How long do custom ear plugs last?
With proper care, custom ear plugs last 3 to 5 years. Replace them if they crack, lose their shape, or no longer seal properly. Cleaning them regularly and storing them in a protective case will help extend their life.
Are custom ear plugs better than foam or silicone ear plugs?
Yes. Custom ear plugs provide significantly more effective noise reduction than foam or generic options, which often fail to seal properly due to incorrect insertion. Custom ear plugs also fit more comfortably for extended wear, stay in place during jaw movement, and last for years instead of being discarded after one use.
