our process:
The process for obtaining custom hearing protection against harmful noise involves several steps to ensure a perfect fit and optimal performance:
hearing test
Assessments include noise level measurements. We will do a hearing test to rule out issues such as obstructions or wax that will need to be removed using ear-wax microsuction. A hearing test will also help to identify if you need hearing aids.
ear impressions
If in-ear protection is needed, we take a precise mold of your ear’s unique shape by inserting a soft, medical-grade silicone material to take an impression for custom earmolds. This will help us provide custom hearing protection devices that are a comfortable fit.
personalised & custom fit
Depending on the type of device you require these will be custom created to your unique needs and sent off for manufacture.
training & follow-up support
We will fit the custom products, fine-tune any adjustments and give you guidance on usage, cleaning and maintenance to ensure maximum comfort and sound directionality.
