Custom Earplugs Galway
Why Is Hearing Protection So Important?
Hearing loss happens for many reasons, one of the most popular being exposure to loud noise (noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL). Repeated exposure to sound levels above 85 decibels can cause permanent, irreversible hearing loss. To give your perspective, hearing professionals consider exposure to loud music, either live or through headphones, to be particularly dangerous with sound intensity sometimes reaching 100 to 115 decibels (dB). This is where hearing protection, like our custom earplugs come in. While hearing loss is irreversible, that does not mean it is not preventable. Knowledge, hearing protection, and prevention can help keep your hearing healthy and you happy!

Benefits of custom earplug protection:
Custom ear plug moulds help ensure they stay in place and offer a secure fit. They are designed to retain accurate frequency response, so you will hear the full range of sounds — just at a reduced volume.
You get specific, measurable protection with precision-engineered filters that offer the most natural sound available, clear and unmuffled. Custom moulded from medical-grade silicone, these plugs can be worn for extended periods of time without discomfort. Several models offer replaceable sound filters so that you can select the level of sound protection you need for the situation with 10, 15, 17-, 20-, 26-, or 27- dB sound reduction.
