1. Consultation & Ear Impressions

We begin with a short consultation to understand your hearing protection needs. Then, a precise impression of your ears is taken to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.

Choose from a range of colors and features such as acoustic filters or connector cords, based on your lifestyle and intended use.

3. Custom Manufacturing

Your ear impressions are sent to a specialized lab, where custom plugs are crafted from soft, medical-grade silicone for lasting comfort and durability.

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 care for them properly.

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.

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.

Custom Hearing  Protection FAQs

Learn more about how custom earplugs work, their benefits, and what to expect from the process.

Custom ear plugs are molded to fit your unique ear shape, providing a secure, comfortable fit and better noise or water reduction. They’re more durable, reusable, and effective for long-term use.

Allergic reactions to custom earplugs are very rare. At Central Hearing, our custom earplugs are made from high-quality, medical-grade silicone that is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. If you have a known material sensitivity, please let us know, we can discuss alternative options to ensure your comfort and safety.

Yes. They’re made from soft, medical-grade silicone that conforms to your ear for a secure, pressure-free fit, which is ideal for long wear, even overnight.

With proper care, custom earplugs typically last three to five years, and some people find they last even longer. Their durability depends on how well they’re maintained, but changes in your ear shape over time can affect the fit. It’s recommended to have them checked periodically to ensure continued comfort and protection.

  • Yes. All custom ear plugs include a three-month warranty covering fit issues. If you experience any discomfort or poor fit during this period, we’ll remake them (same style and color) at no additional cost.

Some insurance plans may cover custom ear protection, especially if they include it under extended health benefits or a Health Spending Account (HSA). However, most insurance coverage for audiology services focuses on hearing aids, which are classified as medical devices. Custom earplugs are typically not considered medical devices and may not be covered in the same way.

While we do not offer direct billing, we provide an itemized receipt listing the products as “custom hearing protection” along with our license number from the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC, which may help with your claim submission.
