And much more.

Benefits of Custom Made Ear Protection
Custom ear protection offers superior comfort and effectiveness compared to disposable alternatives. Moulded specifically to fit your ears, custom plugs stay in place during activity, provide consistent protection, and can be worn comfortably for extended periods without causing irritation or fatigue.
The best way to protect your ears is with our custom ear moulds, they are tailor-made to fit your ear canal for comfort. Unlike foam earplugs, custom earplugs are made by taking an impression of your ear canal and designing the earplug to specifically fit your ear canal. This makes them comfortable, safe and efficient at reducing noise. In the case of an emergency foam earplugs will provide adequate protection, the foam will create a good seal that will reduce noise.
Ear protection should always be worn in an environment that reaches or exceeds 85 dB for more than 8 hours. Exposure at this limit will cause ringing in the ears and permanent damage.
It is a common misconception that you can use headphones to block dangerous noises. Noise-cancelling headphones (ANC) can reduce unwanted noises effectively but are not designed to give protection against dangerous noises. Dangerous noises that reach or exceed 85 dB can cause ringing in the ears and permanent damage. Headphones will not have been tested or certified as ear protection, you should wear protection with a reduction rating. They will be marked by SNR or NRR rating which is a certification that your ears will be protected.
We recommend wearing ear protection when you sleep to improve your quality of life. Custom ear moulds are designed for comfort and relaxation which will help block out disruptive noises and promote a peaceful environment for you to fall asleep in. Sleep is important for physically recovering and allows your body to rest. Whilst it resets and relaxes your mind for another day.
With proper care, custom ear plugs can last several years. We recommend having them checked periodically to make sure they still fit correctly, particularly if you notice any changes in comfort or effectiveness.
