Custom Earmolds and Earplugs for Ventura, CA
Ever try to fit a square peg into a round hole? You may feel like that’s exactly what you’re doing when you use generic earplugs, earbuds, or earmolds.
Generic earmolds and earplugs don’t fit right, because everyone’s ears are a little bit different. Some of the main complaints about generic earmolds and earplugs include:
They feel like they’re going to fall out, so you have to fiddle with them all the time
They get more uncomfortable the longer you wear them
They irritate your ears
They don’t create a solid acoustical or watertight seal
Custom earmolds and earplugs (also known as custom hearing protection) are the best option for addressing these problems.

You’re in luck! Nelson Audiology, Inc. in Ventura, CA, is able to provide you with custom earmolds, earplugs, or earbuds to meet your unique needs and circumstances, including custom hearing protection and personalized earmolds.
What Are Custom Earmolds?
Some hearing aid wearers opt for custom earmolds for a variety of reasons, like improved comfort, a better seal, a more secure fit, and others. Traditional custom molded earplugs begin with an impression, or mold, taken from the outer ear canal.
The process typically involves inserting a dam in the ear canal, and then filling it with the impression material. When the impression material sets, it is carefully removed, inspected, packaged, and shipped away for fabrication.
Recent technological innovations have made it possible to develop an impression of your ear using laser scanners and 3D rendering software. This technique makes it possible to have multiple earmolds constructed from the initial impression, saving time and costs.
In addition to providing custom earmolds for hearing aids, we offer custom earplugs to protect your ears during a variety of activities.
