Custom Earplugs
Custom earplugs are made specifically for you and are worn directly in your ear canal. Custom options tend to be more comfortable than the current over-the-counter options because they are tailor-made to your ear anatomy. Additionally, because of this personalized fit, they are also much more efficient than their disposable counterparts at protecting your hearing. Some earplugs block sound, others allow for limited sound to pass through. They can also be equipped with handles or detachable cords. These specialized solutions are a great choice for any professional who wants to protect their hearing while staying alert to their surroundings.
Musicians’ Earplugs
Protect your hearing without sacrificing the sounds you need to hear in order to keep the beat! Custom-made earplugs fit deeply to seal within the bony portion of the ear canal. This reduces occlusion, the resonance from a musician’s own voice that can result from lower-quality, over-the-counter (OTC) options. The deep-fit style allows the user to hear across all frequencies, a feature not offered with generic earplugs purchased at pharmacies or drug stores.
Because musician’s have specific needs and preferences, we also offer monitors to make hearing protection smart and simple! Many live performers prefer in-ear monitors (IEMs), which provide the best protection that today’s technology has to offer. IEMs allow the user to hear music or speech while protecting sensitive ears from loud amps or crowd noise. Musicians’ earplugs are also a great choice for DJs or sound engineers, referees, professional athletes and more. Contact Hear in MetroWest today to explore all of the options!
