Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)
As digital and wireless technology becomes more commonplace, more and more options are available in the ALD category. Broadly, the term refers to any device that helps a person with hearing issues to hear the desired sound more clearly over background sound.
Some common types of ALDs include:
Custom Hearing Protection
For those who spend a significant amount of time around unsafe noise levels, custom hearing protection is an excellent option. We take an impression of your ear canal and concha in order to make a set of earplugs that fits your ears perfectly. These can be fitted with attenuators that reduce various amounts of decibel levels, starting at 3 dBA (decibels A-weighted) and going up to about 30 dBA.
Custom hearing protection is recommended for people who work in noisy environments, gun enthusiasts, musicians and music enthusiasts, motorcyclists, and anyone who spends a lot of time around loud sound.
Custom earplugs stay in your ears better than standard over-the-counter options. Musicians and music enthusiasts will also be thrilled at the sound quality! Custom earplugs reduce all frequencies evenly, and do an even better job than standard options that claim to offer the same quality.

Swim Molds
Many people visit the doctor each year due to ear canal infection or swimmer’s ear (otitis externa). Those who are susceptible to this type of ear infection can benefit from a custom-molded earplug for swimming or showering. These are lightweight, floatable silicone plugs that are custom-molded to fit your ear specifically. They are the most comfortable and effective method to prevent water from entering your ear canal while swimming or showering.
