Take the next step for your hearing

Many people wonder how custom earplugs are actually fitted. That is why, in this blog, we explain step by step exactly how we do it.

Fitting custom earplugs – the 8 steps

1. We ask what you are looking for.

First, we sit down with you to find out exactly what you want. We give you no-obligation advice, and if you decide to go ahead with earplugs, we move on to step 2. Together we also choose a filter (which you can always have swapped out later at no extra cost).

2. We check your ears

Before we begin, we first check that your ears are not blocked. We also make sure there is not too much irritation in the ear canal. Although it rarely happens, there are situations in which it is better not to take an impression at that moment.

3. We inject a liquid into your ears

A liquid is injected into your ears that hardens after a few minutes. This is far less unpleasant than it sounds. The only downside is that you are not allowed to talk or move your mouth for a little while. So make sure you do not bring along anyone who will try to make you laugh during the fitting 😉

4. We remove the impression from your ears

The material, which has now hardened, is carefully removed from your ears.

5. The impression is taken to the laboratory.

We take the impression with us so that it can then be processed in the laboratory.

6. We print the earplugs.

In the laboratory, the earplugs are then printed using a special 3D printer.

7. We send the earplugs to you (or you collect them)

Once the earplugs are ready, they are sent to your home. It is also possible, however, to collect them in person.

8. You can enjoy sound anywhere without the risk of hearing damage!

Once you have received your earplugs, you will be able to protect yourself against hearing damage anytime, anywhere. Or you can sleep better, if you have opted for sleep plugs.
