Custom Hearing Protection
At Colorado Tinnitus and Hearing Center, we provide personalized custom hearing protection solutions designed to preserve your hearing in noisy environments while maintaining sound clarity. Our custom-fit products are created from precise ear impressions, ensuring maximum comfort, superior noise reduction, and proper fit for your unique ear anatomy.

Protect Your Hearing with Precision
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent but entirely preventable. Our doctors of audiology assess your specific noise exposure risks and lifestyle needs to recommend appropriate custom hearing protection. Whether you're a musician, hunter, motorcyclist, industrial worker, or simply want to protect your hearing during loud events, we create solutions tailored to your specific activities and environments.
Our Custom Hearing Protection Process
Our comprehensive approach ensures you receive hearing protection that perfectly fits your ears and meets your specific needs.

Consultation and Needs Assessment
We discuss your lifestyle, work environment, noise exposure, and specific protection needs to determine the most appropriate solution.
Ear Impression Taking
Our audiologists take precise impressions of your ear canals and outer ears using medical-grade silicone material for a perfect custom fit.
Product Selection and Customization
Based on your assessment, we help you select the appropriate type of hearing protection with specific features and attenuation levels tailored to your activities.
Fitting, Verification, and Education
When your custom hearing protection arrives, we ensure proper fit, verify appropriate sound attenuation using Real Ear Measurement (REM) technology, demonstrate correct insertion and removal, and provide care instructions for long-term maintenance.

Types of Custom Hearing Protection
We offer various types of custom hearing protection designed for specific activities and environments. Each type provides different features to meet your unique needs while maintaining comfort for extended wear.
Our custom options include musician earplugs with specialized filters that reduce volume while preserving sound quality, hunter's earplugs with acoustic filters that allow conversation while blocking harmful gunshot noise, swimmer's earplugs to prevent water entry, and industrial hearing protection for workplace environments. All custom products are made from hypoallergenic materials with precise attention to your ear anatomy for maximum comfort and protection.
Benefits of Custom Hearing Protection
Custom-fit hearing protection offers significant advantages over generic, one-size-fits-all options.
Perfect fit for your unique ear anatomy, ensuring comfort for extended wear
Precise levels of sound attenuation tailored to specific environments
Superior seal that prevents sound leakage around the earplug
Long-lasting durability with proper care (typically 3-5 years)
Custom earplugs are created from impressions of your ears, providing a perfect fit that offers better comfort, more reliable protection, and often better sound quality than generic options. They're designed for your specific ear anatomy and won't fall out or cause discomfort during extended wear.
After taking ear impressions, most custom hearing protection products are ready within 2-3 weeks. The exact timeframe depends on the specific type of protection and manufacturer.
Many custom options feature special acoustic filters that reduce harmful noise levels while still allowing you to hear speech and important environmental sounds. We can select filters based on your specific communication needs.
Custom earplugs should be cleaned after each use with mild soap and water, then thoroughly dried. Never use alcohol, which can damage the material. Store them in their protective case when not in use. With proper care, they typically last 3-5 years.
Yes. Exposure to loud noise is a common cause of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Using appropriate hearing protection in noisy environments helps prevent both hearing loss and tinnitus.
Absolutely. We provide custom hearing protection for children exposed to loud environments like concerts, sporting events, or those with sensory sensitivities. Since children's ears grow, they may need new impressions every 1-2 years.
