What are they?

Custom earplugs are ear plugs that are molded to the shape of your ears. A hearing instrument specialist (HIS) will take a mold of your ear and then create a pair of earplugs that fit perfectly into your ears. Quite simply they are personalized earplugs made from materials that sit comfortably in your ear. Avoiding damage to our hearing is very important, and custom earplugs provide you with a much better fit, much less likely to fall out and overall more aesthetically pleasing in many cases.

A lot of people prefer to have flesh colored earplugs for various reasons, not everybody is confident about the way traditional earplugs look, especially when in social environments. So, looking at these custom earplugs can add an element of confidence for many people. Some events require earplugs for a long time, which can become uncomfortable when wearing after a while.

Not only are they comfortable but they can also save the health of your ear from damage that foam or other materials that can cause discomfort over time. Some people chose to use custom earplugs for sleeping, to block outside noise and get a good night’s sleep. This means that they are molded to the shape of your ears and not pushing on your ears anywhere too much.

How do they help?

Custom earplugs are made from durable and comfortable material, you don’t need to push them into your ear forcefully and they are made to fit your ear specifically so you don’t need to think about them coming out, causing damage or irritation.

These types of earplugs are long-lasting and durable so economical in the long run.

Custom earplugs are also created and measured by professionals so you can be sure that they will be custom for you and nobody else. Nobody’s ears are the same so it makes sense that these noise-cancelling earplugs are going to prevent noise damage effectively when they fit just right.
