Hearing Protection

The best hearing-loss prevention is protection

Noise-related hearing damage is often preventable. We help you choose protection that fits your environment, comfort needs, and communication goals.

Loud-sound exposure is more common than most people think

Hearing changes can begin around 85 decibels with enough exposure time. Concerts, earbuds at high volume, shooting ranges, power tools, and even routine yard equipment can all add up.

Where hearing risk commonly shows up

It is easy to underestimate how often your ears are under strain. If a setting leaves your ears ringing, speech muffled, or your voice raised to be heard, protection is worth using. We can help match attenuation level to your routine so protection remains practical day to day.

Custom ear molds for all-day comfort

Disposable earplugs are useful for occasional events, but many patients need something they can wear longer without discomfort. Custom-fit molds improve seal consistency, comfort, and repeatability for longer shifts and frequent exposure settings.

Shooting and impulse-noise protection

Firearms can create very high peak sound levels, often well above damaging thresholds. We review earmuff and earplug options designed for hunting, range use, and duty settings so you can protect hearing while still keeping important safety awareness.

Musician-focused hearing protection

Performers and frequent concert attendees often need protection that preserves tone and timing, not just raw volume reduction. Filtered musician options can lower harmful exposure while keeping music detail and speech cues more usable than generic plugs.

Monitor hearing if noise exposure is ongoing

Baseline and follow-up testing helps catch subtle changes early so your protection plan can be adjusted before communication difficulty becomes more noticeable.
