Prolonged exposure to noise is one of the leading causes of hearing loss. This type of damage is often detected too late, which means the hearing loss is usually irreversible. Hearing protection isn’t just for those who work, live or play in noisy environments. Reach out if you participate in any of these hobbies:
- Hunting or target shooting: DefendEar offers amplification for situational awareness and noise attenuation for when you pull the trigger
- Motorsports: Devices are designed with a hollow canal that reduces wind buffeting for under-helmet use
- Surfing or swimming: Floatable material is molded with a sealed membrane that keeps air and water out of the ear canal

Earmolds and Earplugs
Hearing protection is key for anyone who is regularly in a high-noise environment, including motorcyclists, pilots, musicians and people who work in factories or on construction sites. There are over-the-counter options available, but custom earmolds and earplugs and are made to fit the contour of your ears and offer maximum protection.
Custom Earmolds
Earmolds can be soft, solid or spongy, and come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Some earmolds come with a filtered electronic attenuator, which protects your hearing and still allows for verbal communication, which make them a great choice in any situation where wearers need to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Hear Clear will recommend the best option for you based on your individual needs.
Custom Earplugs
Earplugs are designed to be worn in your ear canal. Some block sound, and some allow for some sound to pass through, making this a great option for those for whom clear communication in noisy environments is key. Custom-made to fit your ear canal, earplugs are often more comfortable than those you can buy over the counter.
Musician Earplugs and Monitors
Musicians need specialized protection! How can you protect your hearing and keep up with key changes? Store-bought earplugs don’t attenuate evenly, and musicians need an even frequency response from their earplugs.
Custom-made earplugs fit deeply to seal within the bony portion of your ear canal. This reduces occlusion, a resonance from a musician’s own voice that can result from low-quality, over-the-counter options. The deep-fit style allows the user to hear across all frequencies.
For those who routinely perform in front of large audiences, participate in large sporting events, or love clubs and festivals, in-ear monitors (IEMs) offer the best that current technology has to offer. IEMs allow the user to hear music or speech while protecting ears from loud amps or crowds.
Universal IEMs are available and come with interchangeable foam or silicone tips that allow for a semi-custom fit. In order to protect your hearing health, consider a custom fit at Hear Clear. We’ll make an impression of your ear and create a mold or IEM that is fit specifically for you!
