Protecting your hearing in potentially damaging situations is an important part of combatting hearing loss at any age. At Auris Care, our audiologists may recommend various hearing protection devices to help you do this, whether you’re looking for something to wear at work or need options for the various hobbies you enjoy. With custom solutions for every situation, our staff is ready to help you understand the best prevention methods and products.
Hearing Protection Devices
There are several solutions available for an array of hobbies, whether you enjoy hunting and shooting or prefer to attend concerts. Our options include:
- Occupational: Occupational earplugs and moulds are made to be worn in industrial environments, construction sites, and other work environments that are prone to loud noises.
- Surf and swim: We also carry hearing aids designed to be worn while you surf or swim. These help to prevent swimmer’s ear and reduce the potential for hearing damage that can be caused by exposure to cold water and wind.
- Motorsport: If you ride motorcycles or participate in motorsport, then your hearing can be damaged by frequent exposure to loud engine noises. Motorsport earplugs are designed to fit underneath a helmet so you can continue participating in the hobby you love without having to risk further damage to your hearing in the process.
- Hunting: Hunters can also benefit from wearing earplugs. Companies make earplugs specifically designed for this hobby, too. Hunting earplugs like DefendEar feature a filter that instantaneously closes when you or someone around you shoots. This ensures you can hear your environment when you’re tracking game but still receive the protection you need from sudden loud shot noises.
- Sleep: We also carry hearing protection devices that are designed to be as comfortable as possible in your ears as you sleep. These can be a good fit for people who regularly rest during odd hours in noisy environments.
Musicians’ Earplugs and Monitors
If you play live music, we carry hearing protection devices that can help you continue doing so without putting yourself at risk of experiencing further hearing loss. Musicians’ earplugs and monitors allow you to differentiate between notes so you can follow along with the band while also protecting your hearing.
Custom Earplugs and Earmolds
Commercially manufactured earplugs and earmolds are made for a general audience and may not fit you comfortably or offer the hearing protection you want. Ordering custom earplugs and earmolds can be a great option in those situations. These are designed to match your unique ear shape so you get ideal performance and comfort every time.
We can help you complete the moulding process you need to go through to start ordering custom earplugs and earmolds. You’ll only need to do this once and then will be able to order custom-made earplugs and earmolds in perpetuity.
