Custom Earmolds and Fittings
Hearing protection is extremely important for anyone who is regularly exposed to a high-noise environment, such as construction workers, production workers, pilots, musicians, or those with consistent exposure to field noise. Custom hearing protection, like custom ear molds and fittings, provides tailored solutions for these needs.
Ear molds, including hearing aid ear molds, come in a wide range of sizes and types to suit individual needs. Users mostly choose between full shell or half shell. Your audiologist’s recommendation is important to help you achieve a customized fit for optimal hearing protection.
- Full shell earmolds are generally for high-level noise exposure
- Half shell is for mid-level noise exposure
Some earmolds feature a filtered attenuator which makes verbal communication easy and yet protects your hearing. This is popular with musicians and singers.
If you are already suffering from hearing loss and are using hearing aids, then you should use custom ear molds. These earmolds will pave the path for an improved performance of the hearing aid and provide you with great comfort.
At “Advance Hearing Center”, we provide you with tailor-made earmolds and fittings.
