Custom Hearing Protection and Custom Earmolds
Hearing loss is often attributed to two main causes: age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) and noise-induced hearing loss. While age-related changes in hearing are difficult to prevent, noise-induced hearing loss is largely avoidable with the right precautions.
According to the World Health Organization, over 1 billion people worldwide are at significant risk of noise-induced hearing loss, with teens and young adults aged 12-35 being especially vulnerable due to regular use of personal audio devices and exposure to loud social environments.
What Is Noise-Induced Hearing Loss?
Noise-induced hearing loss can result from a one-time loud noise or from prolonged exposure to high sound levels. Thankfully, protective hearing solutions can reduce or even eliminate this risk. While general earplugs offer some level of protection, investing in custom hearing protection enhances noise reduction, ensures a snug fit, and provides lasting comfort.
About Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
In our inner ear, delicate hair cells within the cochlea play a crucial role in converting soundwaves into signals the brain can interpret. When exposed to loud noises, these cells can suffer damage, which reduces their sensitivity, diminishes sound clarity, and, over time, can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Damage risk increases with both the intensity of sound and the duration of exposure. Daily noises that exceed safe levels, like these, can cause irreversible harm without adequate protection:
- 90 dB: Lawn mower – safe for 4 hours
- 95 dB: Electric drill – safe for 1 hour
- 100 dB: Nightclub or train – safe for 15 minutes
- 110 dB: Power saw or motorcycle – safe for 4 minutes
- 120 dB: Ambulance siren – safe for 1 minute
- 130 dB: Jet engine – safe for 8 seconds
- 145+ dB: Fireworks – can cause immediate damage
If you regularly encounter loud environments or activities, consider custom hearing protection for long-term hearing health.
