Noise Protection for Work, DIY, and Motorsports

We begin with a full ear health check to ensure your canal is clear of wax or abnormalities. This will include obtaining your medical history to help us prepare in advance and take necessary precautions, e.g If there is ear wax-build up, we can remove this for you before taking the ear impressions, allergies, operations etc. Afterwards:
A soft foam block is placed inside the ear canal to protect your eardrum.
You may be asked to bite down on a bite-block to capture your jaw’s natural position—important for tight-fitting plugs like swimming moulds.
We mix up the base and catalyst ear impression material. This is silicone based. Then fill up a tube (very similar to a cake piping syringe!) with both components and insert the material into your ear-canal.
After 2–4 minutes, the impression sets and is removed—ready to be used for your custom product.
