Custom ear moulds perfectly tailored to you

What is an ear impression?

Whether you require quality ear protection for shooting trips or an ear plug for snoring partners, the skilled hearing specialists at Clearer Clinics have the perfect solution.

Unlike foam ear plugs you can buy over the counter, our range of custom ear protection is designed to perfectly fit you. The magic begins by moulding an ear impression – a detailed cast of your ear shape. This impression can then be used as a mould to manufacture the silicone ear plugs of your choice.

How is an ear impression made?

Don’t worry, the whole moulding procedure is quick and straightforward, taking around 15 minutes. First, a qualified professional will examine your ear to look for blockages, unusual ear shapes and growths.

The ear inspection also allows us to understand the size of the ear canal and to ensure the skin is clean. Next, a special cotton or foam dam is placed inside your ear canal to protect your eardrum. Next, a silicone material is injected into your ear canal. After 10 minutes, the material hardens so the cast and dam can be carefully removed.

We find that it is quite normal for your ear canal to feel slightly oily after this procedure. This is quite normal, and is due to the moulding material that prevents the silicone from sticking to your skin.

We recommend that you inform our hearing specialists about any allergies to plastic or dyes, or if you have any ongoing ear issues such as chronic perforation of the eardrum.

This service is available to children eight years and over, all we ask is that they must be able to sit still during the procedure.

Here at Clearer Clinics, we know from first-hand experience that creating precision ear impressions is better for both your ear health and comfort. The improved fit drastically improves the performance of the ear plug, meaning you are more likely to wear and benefit from ear protection.

What are the benefits of ear impressions?

Put simply, creating an accurate ear impression is the best way for ensuring the optimal performance of our hearing devices. If you still need convincing, here are some more reasons to choose us:

Bespoke fitting

An accurate ear impression ensures that the ear protectors or plugs fit snugly in your ear. This prevents the plugs from slipping or dropping out, which in turn provides consistent protection from hearing loss.

Your comfort

A well-fitting device made from an ear impression is much more comfortable to wear for extended periods. The moulded shape reduces the risk of ear irritation, which can often occur with ill-fitting plugs.

Sound performance

An accurate ear impression allows for the creation of a device that delivers superior audio quality. Choose Clearer Clinics and enjoy better sound delivery and reduced feedback for audio aids.

Noise isolation

Silicone ear plugs created from precise ear moulds provide superior noise isolation qualities. They effectively block out harmful levels of noise while still allowing you to hear the sounds that matter.

Durable and safe

Devices moulded from ear impressions are more durable and less likely to need frequent adjustments or replacements. This leads to an improved protection and a longer lifespan, providing better value for money.
