Custom Hearing Protection

The best way to conserve your hearing is by using custom hearing protection when in loud environments, which can include work and recreational settings. The audiologist will work with you to determine the most appropriate type of hearing protection based on your needs. Common solutions include maximized hearing protection (for loud work environments such as construction) and filtered hearing protection, for those who work in a loud environment but still need to communicate (such as musicians, servers, and bartenders).

Custom Swim Protection

Swimmers and Divers: The purpose of wearing ear plugs while swimming is to prevent water from entering your ear canal. When water enters your ear canal, it can cause discomfort, irritation, and even infections such as swimmer's ear. Ear plugs can also help protect against other potential problems, such as ear pressure caused by diving and exposure to cold water, which can lead to dizziness or vertigo. Overall, ear plugs are a simple and effective way to protect your ears while enjoying water activities.

Surfers: Ear plugs for surfers serve to protect the surfer's ears from the effects of cold water, wind, and waves. When a surfer is repeatedly exposed to these elements, it can lead to a condition called surfer's ear, also known as exostosis. Surfer's ear is a condition in which small bony growths develop in the ear canal. These growths can block the ear canal and cause hearing loss, as well as trapping water and debris in the ear, leading to infections.

In Ear Monitors for performers

The primary purpose of using in-ear monitors is to provide the performers with a consistent and high-quality audio mix that is tailored to their individual needs. With IEMs, performers can adjust the volume of their own instrument or vocals in their mix, as well as adjust the overall volume of the mix to their liking. This can help them hear their performance more clearly and with greater detail, which can improve their ability to perform and stay in sync with other musicians on stage. Another benefit of using in-ear monitors is that they can help reduce the risk of hearing damage, as they provide a more controlled and consistent volume level than traditional stage monitors. Additionally, IEMs can help reduce on-stage noise levels, which can be particularly beneficial for performers who are sensitive to loud sound levels. Overall, the purpose of in-ear monitors for performers is to provide them with a customized and high-quality audio experience on stage, while also helping to protect their hearing and improve their overall performance.
