Our custom-molded passive hearing protection devices are individually tailored to each user's ears

The threshold for when noise can be harmful depends on both the sound level measured in decibels (dB) and the duration of exposure. Generally, the following levels are considered as guideline limits:

• 85 dB: Prolonged exposure to noise at 85 dB or higher can start to damage hearing. This is equivalent to the noise level from heavy traffic or a busy restaurant.
• 90-95 dB: Continuous exposure for several hours daily can cause hearing damage. This corresponds to the sound of a lawnmower or motorcycle.
• 100 dB: Exposure for more than 15 minutes daily can result in permanent hearing loss. This noise level is equivalent to a concert or a car horn at close range.
• 110 dB and above: Exposure for more than 1 minute can cause permanent hearing damage. This is comparable to the sound of a chainsaw or a rock concert near the speakers.
• 120 dB and above: Immediate danger of hearing damage with even brief exposure. This corresponds to sirens, fireworks, or gunshots.

It's important to note that both the intensity and duration of noise exposure play a role in the risk of hearing damage. Therefore, it's best to minimize exposure to high sound levels and use custom-molded active hearing protection when necessary.

Custom-molded hearing protection devices provide optimal comfort by being specifically made to fit the user's ear canal. They are made of soft and flexible materials like medical-grade silicone or durable acrylic, which mold precisely to the ear, ensuring a comfortable fit without pressure or irritation.

There are various types of custom-molded hearing protection, including:

• Industrial hearing protection: Used in workplaces with constant noise to prevent hearing damage.
• Sleep plugs: Protect against loud noises such as street noise and snoring partners. Designed to sleep on the side without feeling the earplugs, they fit snugly in the ear and stay in place throughout the night.
• Musician hearing protection: Protects against loud sounds at concerts and rehearsal spaces.
• Hunting hearing protection: Designed to dampen gunshot sounds while still allowing other sounds to come through.
• Motorsport: Earplugs for motorsport protect against high noise levels from engines and tires, often with a noise reduction of 20-30 dB. Made from comfortable materials like silicone or foam, they may include communication features to ensure the user can hear important signals and communication.
• Office: Custom-molded earplugs for the office are specially fitted to the user's ears for optimal comfort and effective noise reduction. They help create a quiet environment and improve concentration by dampening background noise, while still allowing important sounds like conversations and phone calls to be heard. Made from soft materials, they ensure long-term use without discomfort.

The price of custom-molded hearing protection varies depending on their features and use. Generally, they can cost between 960 DKK and 5000 DKK. Musician and hunting hearing protection are often more expensive due to their specialized features.

Custom-molded hearing protection devices are designed to attenuate harmful sounds without degrading speech quality or the ability to hear important sounds. They use special filters that can be adjusted depending on the usage situation, providing linear sound attenuation and preserving speech clarity.

Most custom-molded hearing protection devices are made of hypoallergenic, medical-grade silicone, which is soft and flexible. This material ensures a comfortable and irritation-free fit, even with extended use.
