Have Questions About Custom Protection? We’ve Got Answers!
If you’re new to the world of custom hearing protection, you may be wondering how it all works. Are custom solutions really worth it, and if so, what’s the process like? We answer some frequently asked questions to help you decide what’s the best hearing protection for your team.
Are custom earplugs actually customizable?
Yes! At Protect Ear, we make every order 100% tailored to you. We offer styles, colors, materials and accessories that are customizable to match your needs. From Bluetooth hearing protection to a range of skin tone shades, we can customize your order to serve a range of workplace hearing protection needs and noise profiles.
How comfortable are custom earplugs?
Custom hearing protection is made for all-day comfort. Molded from an exact impression of your ear, custom hearing protection sits perfectly in place with no sensations of pressure or discomfort commonly found with foam earplugs. Custom earplugs are also created with soft, safe, medical-grade material that feels as natural as your regular skin. It can’t get more comfortable than that!
Is custom hearing protection as effective as disposable earplugs?
With custom hearing protection, fit isn’t an issue. Unlike disposable earplugs, custom earplugs are molded for a precise level of noise reduction, specifically tuned to your work environment, making them both safer and more effective than traditional foam earplugs.
How does custom hearing protection reduce waste?
Single-use foam earplugs have a significant negative impact on the environment, both from the chemical-heavy production process and their disposal. By switching to custom earplugs, just one person can eliminate thousands of foam earplugs from entering landfills. Multiply that by every person on your team and think of the impact you can make!

At Protect Ear, we make it easy to get custom hearing protection! While you can’t buy our custom earplugs off the shelves, our account reps come on-site 24/7 to take ear impressions, so you and your crew can get fit without leaving work.
