Excess noise, foreign objects in the ear canal, and surplus moisture in the ear are among the most preventable <a href=\"https:\/\/rockymountainearcenter.com\/audiology-hearing-loss-faq\/\">causes of hearing loss<\/a>. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to use earplugs when engaged in loud activities such as attending concerts and stadium games; working with firearms, farm animals, or machinery; enjoying swimming and other water sports; or riding motorcycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though you can buy disposable or reusable earplugs right off the shelf in various colors, styles, and materials at area drugstores, the expert audiologists at Rocky Mountain Ear Center can create better-fitting, washable,&nbsp;custom molds tailored to your unique ears to keep dirt, debris, water, and noise out of your ears and provide maximum hearing protection and hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some additional benefits of custom protection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Designed to retain accurate frequency response, letting you experience the full range of sounds \u2014 just at a reduced volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vented to allow sound to pass both ways, which means the sound of your voice won\u2019t reverberate inside your ears as it would with most earplugs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Molded from medical-grade silicone, allowing you to wear the earplugs for extended periods without discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Made in some cases to accommodate replaceable sound filters, letting you select the level of protection you need for the situation with 9, 15, 25, or other decibel reduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-we-make-custom-earmolds\">How Do We Make Custom Earmolds?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It all starts with an examination to check on the health of your ears. Once they receive a clean bill of health from the audiologist, we take impressions of your ears using special blocks that guard your ear canals as we insert material that sets to their shape. The protective block may feel a bit itchy or scratchy for a moment, but that will quickly pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a brief few minutes during which the impression material fully sets, your audiologist will relieve any pressure accumulated in the ears, gently remove the new impressions, check for any leftover material, and ensure your ear canals are as they were before the impressions. If everything\u2019s clear and the new impressions are accurate, they\u2019ll be sent off-site to be turned into your unique molds.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-types-of-earpieces-do-we-provide\">What Types of Earpieces Do We Provide?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"concert-plugs\">Concert Plugs<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Enjoy every note of your favorite bands without the ear-splitting decibels that can harm your hearing.
