Information

The Custom Hobby is Audinc's DIY earplug: custom-made for self-employed tradespeople and dedicated DIYers. The interchangeable filter cuts harmful machine noise while you keep hearing conversations and warning signals. Comfortable enough for a full working day, with an anti-allergenic coating and free filter changes.

Description

For self-employed tradespeople and DIYers: protect your hearing with Audinc As a self-employed tradesperson or dedicated DIYer, it is important to protect your hearing with the right work earplugs to prevent hearing damage. Loud sounds and prolonged exposure to noise can cause permanent hearing loss. That is why Audinc offers earmoulds — custom-made earplugs — designed specifically for your needs as a DIYer or self-employed professional. Booking a fitting appointment is easy: use our online calendar to pick a time at one of our service locations. Are you self-employed at a company with at least 3 employees where several people need custom hearing protection? Then we are happy to come and fit them on site. In short: whether you are self-employed or a dedicated DIYer, Audinc always has the right solution for you.

Optional upgrade: Audinc Click

Audinc Click is an innovative feature available as an option for every filter strength. With a simple press you switch the standard filter to the Ludicrous filter, which offers an SNR of -28 dB for the soft variant and as much as -34 dB for the hard variant. This upgrade makes the set versatile and suitable for a wide range of environments and noise levels. The click filter is only available for the versions with mini grips and a flat finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

General
What is the best way to store hearing protection? +
All our custom-made products come with a handy storage case. Not wearing your hearing protection? Then always put it back in the case. That way you will not lose it either.
How do I insert my Audinc earplugs correctly if I find it difficult? +

Custom Hobby
Which material is best for me? +
Choose acrylic if you are looking for durability and hygiene, and if you use your earplugs in warm conditions. Acrylic is ideal for anyone who values a longer lifespan and easier maintenance. Choose silicone if comfort matters more to you, especially if you wear the earmoulds for longer periods or under a helmet. Silicone is also perfect for people who want to keep hearing their own voice clearly, such as musicians or in certain working conditions.
What grips are available for the Custom Hobby? +
The "grips" are small handles or tabs on the hearing protection that help you insert and remove them easily. They vary in shape and size, depending on your preference and the type of earplug. Several options are available, from simple grips to ergonomic designs for extra comfort and hold. You can choose the grip that best suits your needs. For images and more information about the available grips, follow this link to the grips.

"As a DIY enthusiast I often deal with loud noise from machines. I always protected my ears with ear muffs, but then the muffs bothered me. The earplugs are small and keep the noise out."

"Als hobbyklusser heb ik vaak te maken met harde geluiden door machines. Mijn oren beschermde ik altijd met oorkappen, maar ik kreeg dan last door de kappen. De oordoppen zijn klein en houden geluiden tegen."
