Comfortable and Effective Custom Earplugs and Earmolds in Brooklyn, NYC
Have you ever heard the old adage about putting a square peg into a round hole? If you’ve ever used generic over-the-counter earplugs, earbuds, or earmolds, then you have a feeling for what that’s like.
To put things simply, generic earmolds and earplugs don’t fit right because everyone’s ears are a little bit different. Common complaints related to over-the-counter earplugs include:

-
They always feel like they’re going to fall out
-
The longer I wear them, the more uncomfortable they are
-
They irritate my ears and make them ache
-
I don’t feel like I’m getting a solid acoustical or watertight seal
Custom earmolds and earplugs are the best option for addressing these problems.

How are custom earmolds and earplugs made?
Traditional custom molded earplugs begin with an impression or mold taken from the outer ear canal. The process typically involves inserting a dam in the ear canal and then filling it with the impression material. Once the impression material sets, it is carefully removed, inspected, packaged, and shipped away for fabrication.
Recent technological innovations have made it possible to develop an impression of your ear by using laser scanners and rendering 3D software. The technique makes it possible to have multiple earmolds constructed from the initial impression, saving time and costs.
Can custom earmolds and earplugs be used for swimming?
