Custom Hearing Protection in North Carolina

Our ears often face loud noises from our daily lives, hobbies like hunting, shooting, and racing, enjoyments like music and woodworking, and home chores like chainsawing, home repair, and vacuuming.

These sounds often exceed safe levels and can cause permanent hearing loss with just one exposure. More commonly, damage happens with repeated exposures over time.

There are special earplugs for different kinds of loud noises.

Smart earplugs: These can be used for hunting or concerts. They can make loud sounds quieter but still let you hear other things.

Earplugs with filters: These help you hear talking when it’s noisy, like at a shooting range or a factory.

Regular earplugs: These make all loud sounds quieter, but you might not be able to hear other things as well.

To make these special earplugs, someone needs to make a mold of your ear.

Dr. Mills is experienced with most forms of personal hearing protection and can provide direction on what is most appropriate for your particular needs.

Hearing Protection FAQs:

Earplugs can help you sleep better. They block out noisy sounds and let you rest easy.

But it’s important to be careful. Using earplugs too much can sometimes make your ears feel yucky or clog with wax. Make sure your earplugs are clean, and you put them in the right way.

If your ears hurt, feel funny, or have something draining from them, stop using earplugs and tell a grown-up.

Properly fitted ear molds and protectors are made specifically for your ears, usually with durable medical grade plastics and silicons. Keeping them clean, storing them in regular temperatures (not too hot or too cold), and keeping chemicals away from them all prolong their usefulness.

Clean them with regular wate,r wiping them off several times a week. In following these simple care directions your ear molds should easily last 3+ years with 5-6 years being very common.

Earmolds are sometimes necessary to improve the fit and comfort of the hearing aid in your ear. They can also help us better tune the sound quality of your hearing aids, giving us more control over the sound level and clarity.

Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are special devices that can be used in place of hearing aids or in addition to hearing aids. They are often used to improve your hearing for specific purposes.

The most common is to improve clarity for the television. An ALD can be as simple as a bluetooth headset connected to your television to send the sound directly from the TV into your ears. For people wearing hearing aids a small “streamer” can be connected to the television to send TV sound directly into your hearing aids.

Devices are also to improve your hearing in worship. In many churches there are small receivers that are given as you enter and these earphone-devices direct all the PA speaking directly into your ear.

Also in some churches and also some performance halls is a system called a “Loop”. This works with a special circuitry in many hearing aids to send the PA sound directly into the hearing aids for best hearing. This circuitry is called a “tele loop” and can be activated by the audiologists at Carolina Hearing Doctors.

Today many hearing aids have bluetooth capability to connect to iPhones, Android phones, and other bluetooth devices. This improves hearing for phone calls and also allows the hearing aids to operate as your own personalized earphones.

The audiologists at Carolina Hearing Doctors are expert in all of these technologies and how to use them for your individual hearing loss.
