  • Absolutely!

    Before handing them over to the patient, we thoroughly examine and check the custom earplugs. We also ensure a perfect fit in the office to guarantee comfort.

    If, for any reason, the custom earplugs cause discomfort after use, we offer a 30-day warranty. During this period, we will remake them at no additional cost to ensure your satisfaction.

  • Certainly!

    Custom earplugs are strongly recommended for individuals with a perforated eardrum to prevent infections when exposed to water (during activities like showering or swimming).

    They are also suitable for use after complex surgeries such as mastoidectomies, tympanoplasty, or stapedectomies.

  • Custom earplugs can be crafted from a soft silicone material specifically designed for use during sleep.

    However, earplugs made from harder materials, such as those designed for waterproofing, noise protection, or musicians, are intended for daytime use. We do not recommend sleeping with these types of earplugs.

  • Cleaning custom earplugs is important to maintain their effectiveness and hygiene. Here’s a simple guide on how to clean them:

    1. Daily Cleaning:

      • After each use, wipe the earplugs with a clean, damp cloth or tissue to remove any debris or earwax.

      • Avoid using alcohol or harsh chemicals as they can damage the material.

    2. Weekly Cleaning:

      • Wash the earplugs with mild soap and lukewarm water.

      • Gently scrub the surface with a soft brush or cloth to remove any stubborn debris.

      • Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue.

    3. Drying:

      • Allow the earplugs to air dry completely before storing them.

    4. Storage:

      • Store the clean and dry earplugs in a clean, dry storage case or container when not in use.

      • Avoid exposing them to excessive heat or direct sunlight.

    5. Maintenance:

      • Check the earplugs regularly for signs of wear and tear, and replace them if necessary or as recommended by the Audiologist.
