Articles and guides about custom earplugs

Here you will find short guides that help you understand custom earplugs: how to choose, what is worth knowing before ordering, and what to do afterwards.

In short: the guides are grouped in three parts: before choosing (ready-made or custom, an earmould instead of a dome), by use (swimming, sleep, noise at work) and the process and after it (taking an impression, an earplug that is not comfortable, reordering from an existing impression). For all the types of earplugs and the service itself, see the custom earplugs page.

How the impression is taken: it can be done with a physical impression of the ear (casting), or with a scanning process, depending on what suits the ear and the use. When possible, the impressions are kept to make reordering easier. About taking an impression · About reordering
