Because ears vary in size and shape, the most effective earplugs will be custom made from molds of your ears. We offer a variety of custom earplugs designed specifically for different activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimmer\u2019s Plugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swimmers and those who participate in frequent water activities are at risk for developing a painful, itchy ear infection known as swimmer\u2019s ear (otitis externa). These infections can also lead to a thickening of the bone and narrowed ear canals, a condition known as surfer\u2019s ear (exostosis). Left untreated, both conditions could eventually cause hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the ears dry is key to preventing ear infections that can cause problems. The best way to accomplish this is by wearing specially designed swimmer\u2019s earplugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swimmer\u2019s plugs protect the ears by preventing water from entering the ear canals. They are made of a waterproof silicone that blocks the opening of the ear canal, providing a tight seal that keeps out water. Swimmer\u2019s plugs are great for swimmers, surfers, rafters and snorkelers, and can be used to keep the ears dry when showering or bathing, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hunter\u2019s Plugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/field-shooting-from-left-1-1280x850.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/field-shooting-from-left-1-1280x850.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/field-shooting-from-left-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/field-shooting-from-left-1-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/field-shooting-from-left-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunters, law enforcement officials and gun enthusiasts are at risk for hearing loss every time they squeeze their triggers. A single gunshot can cause permanent, irreversible hearing loss. The <a href=\"http:\/\/dangerousdecibels.org\/education\/information-center\/noise-induced-hearing-loss\/#:~:text=A%20clap%20of%20thunder%20from,can%20both%20cause%20immediate%20damage.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">typical decibel rating is 140 dB<\/a> \u2013 louder than a jet engine (120 dB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specially designed hunter\u2019s earplugs utilize acoustic filters that amplify ambient noise, allowing the user to hear his or her surroundings better; when the weapon is fired, these filters soften the sound to protect hearing. They include a valve that closes automatically when struck by a sound wave, limiting the volume that reaches the ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunter\u2019s plugs are available in styles that fit in the ear or behind the ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Musician\u2019s Plugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Musicians are especially susceptible to hearing loss because of their constant exposure to music that often exceeds safe decibel levels. To protect their hearing, they need earplugs that limit the amount of damaging noise, but still allow them to hear music that is clear and natural sounding. That\u2019s where musician\u2019s plugs come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular earplugs cause distortion and muffled speech by reducing higher frequency sounds. High-fidelity <a href=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/hearing-loss\/musicians-earmolds\/\">musician\u2019s plugs<\/a> reduce all sounds evenly while maintaining quality, so that music and speech is as close to the original as possible. They include a number of interchangeable attenuators, filters that offer varying levels of sound protection depending on the type of instrument used and the venue played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Musician\u2019s Monitors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Musicians and frequent concert attendees come into extended contact with loud sounds on a regular basis, increasing their odds of developing hearing loss. Music can reach 115 dB levels or higher, a rating that can be damaging to hearing after only 15 minutes of exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is <a href=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/hearing-loss\/musicians-monitors\/\">musician monitors<\/a>, custom, in-ear musician\u2019s monitors designed to provide noise reduction and give the wearre control of the volume. Standard earplugs reduce sounds in the higher range of frequencies, leading to distortion and muffled speech. Hi-fidelity musician monitors provide the user control over how much sound is heard and when. They take the place of traditional loudspeaker monitoring systems, which tend to be oversized and loud, increasing the noise level onstage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom Earbuds for Electronic Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earbuds are ubiquitous nowadays, but those that come standard with today\u2019s electronic devices don\u2019t always stay in place well, particularly when the user is engaged in physical activity. Despite their \u201cone size fits all\u201d claim, in reality they tend to fall out of your ears easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom earbuds solve this problem by fitting the unique contours of your ear canals. They are made from a custom earmold created from impressions of your own ears, and offer a tight seal and perfect fit. Their custom design ensures they remain in place even during moderate to vigorous activity, and the snug fit translates to better sound quality and less distracting external noise.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"content-cta-container\">\n    Call Hearing Care by Hough for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-cta-ph-num-container\">\n        <a href=\"tel:+14055136465\" class=\"content-cta-ph-num\">(405) 513-6465<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earplugs offer excellent protection from potential hearing loss.
