There are different types of earplugs, each designed for specific situations and needs. Consult your audiologist for advice.
Custom-made hearing protection
Custom-made earplugs, earmolds, and custom hearing protection are all terms used to describe custom-made earplugs. Custom-made hearing protectors are characterized by a perfect fit and a wide selection of filters, colors, and materials.Â
If you choose custom-made hearing protection through Oogwereld, you are choosing high-quality earplugs that fit comfortably in your ear, last a long time and always provide complete coverage.
Custom-made earplugs are available for music, motorcycles, sleep, silence/concentration, travel, water and professionals.Â
Reusable or universal (uni-fit) hearing protection
If you only use your earplugs occasionally, various types of universal, reusable earplugs are a good choice. However, if you need to use hearing protection more often and want the very best fit, we recommend choosing custom-made earplugs.Â
The universal earplugs each have their own filter, tailored to the intended use. Available as universal hearing protection for music, motorcycles, sleep, quiet/concentration, travel, water, professionals, and children.
Hearing protection in combination with communication
Communication is essential in many professions, and it's also useful when riding with someone else, for example. We offer a solution that allows you to communicate effectively while also being well-protected from loud noise.Â
Custom-made earplugs for communication are available for two-way radio, microphone or Bluetooth.Â
Materials for custom-made earplugsÂ
For most custom products, you can choose between acrylic and silicone material.Â
Hard earmolds
Acrylic is a hard material, making it easy to clean, easy to insert, and comfortable to wear in warm conditions. These hard, custom-made earplugs are recommended for the food industry and in companies that handle petroleum products.
Advantages of acrylic hearing protectors: longer lifespan, more hygienic and easier to clean, better sealing, and cooler feel when working in the heat.
Soft earmolds
Silicone is soft and specially formulated to minimize the occlusion effect. This is the effect that causes the ear canal to become blocked, making your voice sound dull. That's why silicone is often used by musicians and orchestra members. Silicone hearing protectors are also well-suited for motorcyclists, as they fit comfortably under a motorcycle helmet.
Advantages of silicone earplugs: more color options, flat filters are easier to remove from the earplugs for cleaning, and silicone earplugs take less time to get used to.
