THE RANGE

Four plugs, four very different jobs

Every pair starts with the same step: impressions of your ears, taken by an HCPC-registered audiologist at any of our clinics.

Sleep & noise plugs — from £180

For shift workers, frequent travellers and anyone sharing a bed with a snorer. Hollow-bodied for all-night comfort, with high-level reduction of ambient noise. Available in different colours, with a 1-year warranty.

Swim plugs — from £200

Keep water out completely while you swim. Made from soft hypoallergenic material in a choice of colours, with accessories available and a 1-year warranty.

Musician & filtered plugs — from £250

For musicians, motorcyclists, pilots and camera operators — anyone who needs protection without losing clarity. Flat attenuation keeps sound natural, with interchangeable ER 9, 15 and 25 dB filters. CE-marked and PPE-certified, with a 1-year warranty.

Shooting plugs — from £300

Serious protection for the range and the field. Custom-fitted, with optional in-built electronics running game, clay, practical shooting, wireless-comms and hunter modes on size 13 batteries (around 400 hours). 1-year warranty.

HOW THEY ARE MADE

Impressions today, a perfect fit for years

At your appointment we examine your ears, then take soft silicone impressions of each ear canal — painless and done in minutes. Your plugs are manufactured to that exact shape, which is why they seal better, stay comfortable for hours and never work loose the way generic plugs do. We check the fit with you and talk through care and cleaning when you collect them.

WHY CUSTOM

Why a moulded fit matters

A seal generic plugs cannot match

Foam and silicone one-size plugs rely on pressure to seal — custom plugs seal by shape, so protection is consistent every single time you wear them.

Comfortable for hours

Because nothing is pressing where it should not, custom plugs can be worn all night, all set, or all shift without the ache generic plugs cause.

Guided by audiologists

We help you choose the right type and filter level for how you actually use them — and if a cheaper option genuinely covers your needs, we will say so.

GOOD TO KNOW

Custom ear plug questions, answered

How much do custom ear plugs cost?

How are custom ear plugs made?

An HCPC-registered audiologist examines your ears, then takes soft silicone impressions of each ear canal — quick and painless. Your plugs are manufactured to that exact shape and checked for fit when you collect them.

Which ear plugs do I need?

It depends on the job: sleep plugs block ambient noise for rest, swim plugs keep water out, musician plugs reduce volume evenly so music and speech stay clear, and shooting plugs protect against impulse noise with optional electronics. We will help you choose at your appointment.

Are musician ear plugs suitable for motorcyclists?

Yes — our filtered plugs are a popular choice for motorcyclists, pilots and camera operators as well as musicians. They are CE-marked, PPE-certified and available with ER 9, 15 and 25 dB filters.

How do I look after custom ear plugs?

We will show you how to clean and store your plugs when you collect them. Looked after well, and with the 1-year warranty behind them, they are a long-lasting investment in your hearing.
