Did you know that nearly one in five people engaged in noisy activities, both occupational and recreational, suffer from hearing loss? Noise-induced hearing loss, whether from loud job sites or hobbies like shooting, concerts, and motorcycling, is largely preventable. The key is proactive hearing protection. While it might seem overwhelming to protect your hearing in our noisy world, the Hearing Concepts team is here to help you manage it with ease and safety. We provide a variety of hearing protection options tailored to fit your lifestyle and budget, ensuring you find the perfect solution for your needs.
Who Is Hearing Protection For?
Hearing protection is something anyone who spends time in noisy environments can benefit from. This includes industrial workers, hobbyists and others. Wearing a hearing protection device can reduce loud sounds by 30 decibels. This enables people to continue working or enjoying the hobbies they love without having to worry about harming their hearing system in the process.
Types of Hearing Protection Productions
Companies make a variety of hearing protection products, which have varying features based on the needs of the patient. You can find options customized for each of the following activities.
- Hunting: Hunting hearing protection products have a filter that closes instantaneously when a shot is fired. They allow normal hearing in all other circumstances to keep hunters in tune with their environment.
- Music: Music hearing protection reduces noise levels without impacting tone or quality. This is perfect for musicians and concert-goers who want to follow along without harming their hearing.
- Motorsport: Motorsport protection products are designed specifically to be worn underneath a helmet. They reduce noise levels and feature a hollow canal to help with wind buffeting.
- Swimming and surfing: You can also find hearing protection devices designed to be worn in water. These protect against swimmer’s ear and float, making them the ideal option for swimmers, surfers and other water enthusiasts.
- Occupational: If you work in a noisy environment, occupational hearing protection will likely be what you need. These products are highly durable to provide dependable protection on construction sites, manufacturing floors and in other noisy work settings.
- Sleep: Finally, we also carry hearing protection devices designed for sleepers. These can be more comfortable than alternative options and are especially useful for those who sleep during non-traditional hours.
Customized Options for Hearing Protection
Over-the-counter hearing protection can work wonderfully. But sometimes, a personalized solution is needed. Our hearing instrument specialists can perform the in-office molding process you’ll need to complete before ordering personalized earplugs or earmolds. Do this once, and you’ll be able to continue ordering personalized protection devices for as long as you want.
Earplugs fit inside the ear canal, while earmolds are custom-made to fit the unique contour of the entire ear. We can help you find the right option for your hearing protection goals.
