Custom Hearing Protection in Toronto and Scarborough

Noise-induced hearing loss is the second leading cause of acquired hearing loss, especially in those between the ages of 17 and 65.

Whether you participate in sports and activities that involve a lot of noise, swim, dive or surf, or you are exposed to occupational noise (e.g., construction workers), there are solutions to prevent long-term damage to your hearing.

To ensure that your ears are protected from the damage that can cause you to lose your hearing, your best choice is custom-fit hearing protection.

Custom Hearing Protection Is Better than Over-the-Counter Options

Custom Hearing Protection vs. Over-the-Counter Options.

When it comes to protecting your ears—whether at work, during travel, or while sleeping—fit and comfort make all the difference.

Custom hearing protection is molded to your individual ear shape, providing a secure, comfortable seal and consistent noise reduction.

Custom earplugs are ideal for musicians, industrial workers, and light sleepers who need dependable protection without irritation or slippage. They stay in place all night or all day, offering durability and long-term value.

Over-the-counter (non-custom) earplugs, such as foam or silicone options, are convenient and affordable but vary in fit and comfort. For sleep, they may fall out, cause pressure, or fail to block sound effectively due to improper sealing.

In short:

Custom: Personalized fit, superior comfort, reliable protection for work, travel, and sleep.

Non-Custom: Low-cost and accessible, but less consistent and often less comfortable for extended use.
