What Are Custom Ear Moulds?

- Superior comfort

They’re ideal for people who use hearing aids, need protection for work or hobbies, or want extra comfort during noisy events or while sleeping.

What is involved when making a Custom Ear Mould?
1. A short consultation and ear check
2. Taking an impression of your ear. This process takes roughly 5-7 minutes.
3. Discussing and selecting the best material and style for your needs. Your impressions will then take approximately 2 weeks to complete.
4. Another appointment to fit and review your moulds for comfort and effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are custom ear moulds worth it?
Absolutely! They offer far better comfort, durability, and protection than disposable or over the counter earplugs. They are ideal for long term use and provide consistent, reliable protection.
How long do custom ear moulds last?
Most custom ear moulds last several years with proper care. If your ear shape changes or the mould becomes loose, a new impression may be needed.
Can children get swim plugs?
Yes. Custom swim plugs are highly recommended for children with grommets or recurring ear infections. For younger children who may have hearing concerns, see our Paediatric Hearing Test page.
Do ear moulds block all sound?
Noise protection plugs significantly reduce sound but do not make you completely unaware of your surroundings. Musician plugs reduce volume while maintaining clarity.
Do I need a hearing test before getting ear moulds?
Not always. However, if you are concerned about hearing changes or noise exposure at work, it is helpful to book a Hearing Test first.
