Block out the Noise

Custom Hearing and Ear Protection in Novi and Brighton

Noise exposure, whether sudden or chronic, can harm your hearing and is one of the primary causes of hearing loss. Hearing loss caused by extended noise exposure is frequently identified too late, which means hearing loss is typically irreversible. Therefore, hearing protection is essential for anybody who regularly works in a high-noise workplace, such as gun enthusiasts, bikers, pilots, musicians, construction workers, and industrial employees. To safeguard their long-term hearing, everyone exposed to loud noises should wear hearing protection.

At The Hearing Center, our team can create custom-fit hearing and ear protection for loud noise or to prevent swimmer’s ear. Serving Novi and Brighton, we are interested in avoiding any hearing loss before it starts. Schedule a consultation to learn how custom hearing and ear protection fit your lifestyle.

What is custom hearing and ear protection?

Protection is Key

Earmolds are constructed from a precise mold of the wearer's ears for optimal comfort. Earmolds can reduce noise exposure from medium to high levels. The offered styles' adaptability is useful when tailoring them to individual demands. Even with extensive protection, some earmolds include an attenuator to help with regular communication. Earmolds are vital in loud conditions for their comfort and utility.

In a smaller container, earplugs provide similar benefits to earmolds. They are located in the canal, and there are several specialty versions to supplement casual users or experts. Custom earplugs are favored over generic alternatives and are advised when purchasing specialist versions. The sophisticated functions of earplugs will not function properly unless they are specifically fitted.

What are the benefits of custom hearing and ear protection?

Using filters, it is possible to create custom earplugs that precisely reduce noise. Custom earplugs are made by an expert impression taker and lab technicians to fit the ear's canal, concha, and helix precisely. The lab's custom-molded earplugs will provide the best possible fit.

Silicone earplugs produced to order can last for three to five years or more with care. Disposable earplugs are designed for typically shaped pinnae and ear canals. Still, custom-molded earplugs can be properly fit to any ear, including those with distinctive shapes due to birth trauma, disease, or surgery.

Am I a good candidate for custom hearing and ear protection?

Enjoy what you love

Do you hunt with a gun or participate in trap shooting? Attend any of the races at the track? Or do you love coming to live music performances? Prolonged exposure to loud noises is responsible for one-third of all occurrences of hearing loss in the United States. If you spend a lot of time in noisy environments due to the nature of your profession or your lifestyle, you risk suffering from hearing loss and lasting damage to your hearing. Permanent hearing loss can develop from prolonged exposure to noise levels of 85 decibels or higher.

Your Custom Hearing and Ear Protection Procedure

Fit the Mold

Your Audiologist will begin by discussing your lifestyle. Do you work with loud machinery or engines? Do you like going to loud concerts? Do you swim a lot? Once there is a good depiction of your decibel needs, your Audiologist will review all the options and find one that best suits your needs. A mold will be made of your ears and sent to a lab where they will keep your mold on file in case you need a new pair in the future.

Protection that Lasts

Hearing protection that is custom-fitted to the wearer's ears offers a solution that satisfies both the need for comfort and the requirement for adequate hearing protection. Good hearing protection should be worn by everyone subjected to 85 decibels or higher noises. The producer will store the mold or impression. You then can access the maker for new ones whenever you need them without getting another mold done. With proper maintenance, your custom hearing and ear protection should last five years before they need to be replaced.

Custom Hearing and Ear Protection Frequently Asked Questions

Does ear protection prevent tinnitus?

Ear protection can reduce the chances of development of tinnitus, a condition in which you hear ringing or buzzing noises in your ear. Tinnitus is not life-threatening, but it can be bothersome when you hear buzzing noises that keep you awake at night.

How loud is too loud?

A good rule of thumb is that the noise is too loud if you have to raise your voice to talk to someone standing only a few feet away. This could happen at work, at a noisy bar, or at a concert. Bring earplugs if you think the noise will be too loud, and you will be in a place like this.
