Custom Hearing Protection and Noise Reduction in St. John’s, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Corner Brook, and Harbour Grace
Ever come home from a concert or loud sporting event and felt your ears ringing, or felt like your hearing was muffled?
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the second most common form of hearing loss, but it is also preventable in many cases.
From occupational noise in construction sites and law enforcement to recreational noise at nightclubs or concerts, NIHL is caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise over extended periods of time.
However, there’s an easy way to prevent NIHL: custom hearing protection.
Over-the-counter earplugs can provide some protection from noise exposure, but the one-size-fits-all foam earplugs can sometimes be uncomfortable and frustrating.
If you are wondering “Where can I find custom hearing protection near me?” Maico Hearing Service offers hearing protection made with an impression of your unique ears for a superior fit, comfortable wear, and enhanced noise reduction, no matter what you’re wearing them for.
Made to Measure
Why Do I Need Custom Hearing Protection?
Over-the-counter earplugs are useful, and they provide a quick solution for ear protection, but some users have found the generic sizes uncomfortable and prone to falling out, as well as losing that optimal acoustic seal that earplugs need for the best noise protection.
Custom hearing protection fits the specific shape of your ears, so they’ll be comfortable and easy to wear while improving sound quality and reducing harmful levels of noise.
We offer custom earplugs and earmolds for a variety of uses:
- 1. Hearing protection for working in construction, with industrial equipment and loud machinery
- 2. Hearing protection for outdoor sporting, like shooting or hunting
- 3. Hearing protection for lawn and garden tool noises, like chainsaws, lawnmowers, and snowblowers
- 4. In-ear monitors for musicians
- 5. Protection from swimmer’s ear for swimmers and surfers
- 6. Hearing protection while attending concerts, sporting events, or nightclubs

FAQs About Custom Earmolds
Why do I need custom earmolds or earplugs?
Custom earmolds are made using an impression of your ears that follows your precise ear shape and size – nobody else will be able to wear them but you. Whether you need earplugs to sleep or swim or for protection from noise exposure, or earmolds to help your hearing aids fit better, custom earmolds provide a tight seal and secure fit so you’re feeling comfortable while wearing them above all else.
I already have hearing aids. Can I get custom earmolds for them?
Absolutely! We’ve had many people come back to us for custom earmolds for their hearing aids after using the generic domes for their first-time hearing aid experience. Talk to one of our hearing care professionals about the best options for you.
Do you offer custom solutions for water protection during swimming?
Yes – swimmer’s ear is a serious infection that can cause more problems down the line. Our custom earplugs protect against infection with their secure, watertight fit. Swim plugs are also a great option for individuals with tubes in their eardrums.
Can I use my custom earplugs to sleep?
Custom sleep plugs are a very secure, hygienic, and comfortable option to help reduce noise while you sleep.
How do I clean my custom earmolds/earplugs?
You may use a damp, soft cloth or warm, mild soapy water to clean your earmolds/earplugs, and refrain from using harsh chemicals. Avoid using water when cleaning electronic forms of hearing protection, such as in-ear monitors.
