Schedule Appointment

1. Consultation & Ear Impressions

Our hearing specialist will assess your needs and take a precise impression of your ears to ensure a perfect fit.

2. Material Selection

You can choose from a variety of colors and features (such as acoustic filters or connector cords), depending on your intended use.

3. Custom Manufacturing

The impressions are sent to a specialized lab, where your plugs are crafted from soft, medical-grade silicone for lasting comfort and durability. The entire process typically takes about 10 business days from impression to delivery.

4. Fitting & Final Adjustments

Once your custom earplugs are ready, we’ll check the fit and performance, make any necessary adjustments, and show you how to insert, remove, and properly care for them.

Worry-Free Fit Guarantee

All custom ear plugs include a three-month warranty for your peace of mind and quality assurance. If you experience any discomfort or poor fit during this period, we’ll remake them (same style and color) at no additional cost. Please note: The warranty applies only to fitting concerns, not physical damage caused by misuse, improper care, or loss. All custom ear plugs are final sale and non-refundable.
