Hearing Protection

Exposure to noise is one of the most common causes of sensorineural hearing loss. According to the National Institutes of Health, at least 10 million adults in the U.S. under age 70 (that’s six percent) may have noise-induced hearing loss based on their hearing test results. The number could be as high as 40 million adults (24%). Don’t be a statistic. Trust the audiologists at Clifton Springs Hearing Center to help you protect your hearing.

Custom earmolds

Custom earmolds are available in full and half shell styles.  The full shell earmolds are generally worn by people that are exposed to high levels of noise. The half-shell earmolds are worn for mid-level noise. Both are custom made to fit the contours of your ears. Some may be solid while others are soft.  There’s a wide variety of styles and colors. Let Clifton Springs Hearing Centers meet your individual needs for hearing protection.

Custom earplugs

Hearing protection that is worn in the canal is referred to as earplugs. There are solid earplugs, and others allow some sound to pass through.  When earplugs are specially made to fit your ears, they sit more comfortably in the ear canal and provide a higher level of protection.

Earmolds and earplugs for special uses

Earmolds and earplugs are not just for those who wish to protect themselves from high noise levels. Custom solutions are also available for other hobbies and activities, such as custom earplugs for swimmers, hunters or to be worn while sleeping.
Hunters benefit from digital earplugs from Clifton Springs Hearing Centers. These earplugs amplify safe sounds while automatically blocking all sound above 95 decibels.

Custom earbuds reduce background noise and provide high-quality sound.  You hear every note perfectly without turning the sound up to damaging levels.

Anyone that spends much time in the water knows the painful inflammation from Swimmers Ear or ear infection. But did you know that recurring ear infections can cause irreversible hearing loss?

Earplugs and monitors for musicians

Professional and amateur musicians have unique hearing protection needs. The sound produced by every performance or practice puts their hearing at risk of damage. But to make music, they need to hear their voice or instrument clearly. What’s a musician to do?

Turn to Clifton Springs Hearing Center for earplugs and monitors explicitly designed for the challenges faced by musicians. They have custom and stock solutions. You’ll find stock, over-the-counter solutions that can reduce sound by 20 decibels. That’s enough reduction in decibels to render the sound safe without distorting the sound.

Custom-made earplugs fit deeply in the ear canal. This style of deep-fit prevents occlusion or distortion of the musician’s voice and are very popular with musicians because of the quality of sound they allow them to hear during practices and performances. These canal-style earplugs are virtually invisible.

In-ear monitors protect ears from extremely powerful amplification systems and audiences. Musicians still clearly hear the music they make, but at safe levels and without distortion. They are a cross between headphone and earplug technology that delivers isolation and a crystal-clear listening experience all at the same time.
