Some lifestyles and hobbies can cause more hearing loss than aging does on its own. To avoid this without meaningful changing your life, you may need to wear a hearing protection product. The hearing instrument specialists at King Hearing Center can help you find the ideal hearing protection fit for your needs. We discuss some of the most common of these below.

Protection for Different Hearing Needs

Hearing protection comes in a variety of forms to suit your individual lifestyle needs, whether you’re working in a noisy environment, enjoying recreational activities or attending live music events. From custom-molded earplugs to over-the-counter options, there’s a solution tailored to your specific preferences and requirements.

Hunting: Hunters can damage their hearing through consistent exposure to loud gunshots. We carry hunting hearing protection devices like DefendEar to help with this. These feature a filter that closes automatically when loud gunshots happen nearby, then open up again so you can be fully immersed in your environment.
Swimming and Surf: Swimming and surfing can damage the hearing system by exposing it to cold water and wind. Hearing protection devices in this category are designed to stop that from happening. They also float so you won’t lose them.
Sleep: Sleep-focused hearing protection devices are designed with comfort in mind. They can help you have lasting rest even if you work non-traditional hours.
Occupational: We also carry hearing protection devices designed for high-noise industrial environments. These occupational devices are perfect for those working in manufacturing plants, shops and other loud places.
iCustom: You can even find hearing protection devices that you can wear with your bud or button-style earphones. These let you listen to music freely without harming your hearing in the process.

Custom Earmolds and Earplugs

If you’re tired of store-bought earmolds or earplugs falling out of your ear or not providing enough protection, it may be time to go custom. Custom-fitted earmolds and earplugs are made to match the exact contours of your ears and tend to be more comfortable and performative than commercially available models.

Our team can perform the molding process you need to go through before ordering custom earmolds or earplugs. Complete this one time, and you’ll be able to order custom earplugs and earmolds for as long as you need to.

Earplugs and In-Ear Monitors for Musicians

Finally, we also offer earplugs and in-ear monitors for musicians. These special hearing protection devices are made for musicians who need to hear notes clearly while playing on stage. Monitors provide protection across all sound frequencies with a special emphasis on the low-to-mid frequencies.

You may benefit from hearing products made for musicians even if you don’t play yourself. Concert-goers, sound crews and professionals who work in environments with loud music playing can all protect their hearing with these products.
