What is Custom Ear Plugs ?
A Custom Ear Plugs is a laboratory-made earplug made from moulds taken by trained experienced impression takers. In North America the experienced impression takers may be audiologists, licensed hearing aid dispensers, or impression takers well trained by the manufacture.
Most often the ear impressions, are made of acrylic or soft silicone that can fit the ear and the ear canal tightly. The advantage of the softer earplugs is they change shape slightly as the wearer’s ear canal changes shape when talking or chewing, thereby continuing to seal during those activities.
How is the Custom Ear Plugs packaged?
The Custom Ear Plugs are typically delivered in a protective storage/carrying pouch and will be accompanied with a tube of lubricant (most often petroleum jelly). The lubricant is applied to the earplugs during their initial use/break in period. The lubricant makes the earplugs easier to insert and also softens the interface of the earplug and ear improving comfort. After about ten or so uses with the lubricant applications can stop as the silicon should have absorbed enough material to be easily inserted for the life of the Custom Ear Plugs.
What is a disposable Custom Ear Plugs?
So-called “foam” and pre-moulded Custom Ear Plugs are designed to be used for one time or in some cases, a few times. Exceptions to this restriction are those very expensive Custom Ear Plugs such as the Hi-Fi or military Custom Ear Plugsthat can be cleaned for repeated use.
