Custom Hearing Protection refers to specially designed and individually tailored hearing protection devices that are created to fit the unique contours of a person’s ears. These devices are designed to protect the wearer’s hearing in various noisy environments or from potentially damaging sounds.

Common types:

  • Custom Earplugs: made of soft silicone or acrylic material. They are comfortable for extended use. They are effective at reducing noise levels and are suitable for a wide range of applications including music concerts, shooting ranges, and noisy workplaces.

  • Musician Earplugs: used to reduce sound levels while maintaining sound fidelity. These types of custom earplugs attenuate while still allowing musicians to hear and create music while protecting their hearing from noise damaging sound levels.

  • Swim plugs: are designed to keep water out of the ears while swimming or engaging in water-related activities. They are typically made from materials that will float and seal the ear canal effectively.

  • Communication Earpieces: used for some professions like security personnel who need custom communication earpieces. These are molded to fit the ear and can be connected to microphones for two way communication.

  • Shooting Earplugs: for shooting enthusiasts, offers protection from loud noise of gunfire while still allowing the wearer to hear spoken communication or ambient sounds.

  • Industrial Hearing Protection: designed to meet specific workplace noise exposure regulations. Protects the ears against loud machinery and equipment.

What to Expect

Visiting High Tone Hearing in Sioux Falls for custom hearing protection is an easy, fairly non-invasive process. Custom hearing protection is custom made based on ear impressions of the wearer’s ears. A custom impression is made of your outer ear and ear canal. It is used to protect you from noise-induced hearing loss, which is the only preventable hearing loss.

Here's what you can expect during your visit:

  • Impressions: The audiologist will conduct otoscopy to examine the ear canal, ensuring it's clear and normal. A small foam dam is gently placed to safeguard the eardrum. Then, a soft molding material is used to create an impression of the ear.

  • Custom Manufacturing: Your impressions serve as the foundation for crafting your custom hearing protection. These impressions are sent to a specialized ear-mold manufacturing company to create your tailored solution.

  • Fitting and Adjustment: Your new ear protection is meticulously fitted to your unique ear shape, ensuring comfort and effectiveness. Any necessary adjustments are made to guarantee an optimal fit for top-tier performance.
