These are laboratory made custom ear plugs made from molds taken by licensed experts in our clinic. Most often these comfortable solutions are made of acrylic or a soft silicone that is snugly fit to the ear canal.
The advantage of having softer material is that they have some give to them, which ensure that they remain comfortable for the duration of a typical workday. The soft material will also change shape slightly with jaw movement. For example, when eating or talking it ensures a tight seal remains in the ear canal, it protects the ear by noise reduction at all times.
Major advantages are found with custom noise protection versus foam plugs including superior comfort, durability, and in many cases sound attenuation. Many options are available, including colours, being corded together or the type of material being used.
