The Visalia Area’s Source for Custom Earmolds
and Earplugs
Do you know the meaning of the saying, “It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole”?
If you have ever worn generic, over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid domes, earplugs, or disposable earplugs for any length of time, you know exactly what that means.
Why are OTC earplugs and earmolds so uncomfortable and frustrating?
No two ears are exactly alike, including the two on your own head. That means that non-custom earmolds and earplugs are likely to be uncomfortable, irritate your ears, feel like they are falling out all the time, and/or not provide an adequate acoustic or watertight seal.
The solution to your frustrations with OTC earplug and earmold is custom earmolds and earplugs.

Earmolds/Domes for Hearing Aids
Shaped to the contours of each ear, custom earmolds or domes improve the volume and clarity delivered by your hearing aids. Their tighter acoustic seal means you won’t have to deal with feedback (whistling), you will be able to wear them comfortably all day, and they’ll stay in place during your daily activities.
Musicians’ Earplugs
Musicians’ earplugs protect your ears by reducing the volume level of the music or crowd noise without sacrificing tonal quality. Their secure fit allows you to move around without worrying about your ear protection or in-ear monitors falling out, and they can actually enhance the quality of the music you hear during your performance.
Earplugs for Swimming/Surfing
The tighter seal provided by custom earplugs for swimming and surfing provides protection against “swimmer’s ear,” or “surfer’s ear” from all types of water-related sports and activities. Their better fit also allows you to engage in vigorous activity without having to worry about them falling out.
Communication Earplugs and Personal Earbuds
Security teams who use in-ear communication devices not only need a comfortable fit for extended durations of use, but they also need them to stay put during vigorous activity so they do not miss any important information. The same levels of comfort and security make custom earplugs or earbuds a better choice than OTC options for your personal listening devices, smartphones, and video games.
Earplugs for Sleeping/Relaxing
OTC earplugs for sleeping tend to be bulky and uncomfortable, working against helping you sleep. Made of medical-grade silicone material that is custom molded to the unique contours of each of your ears, custom sleep earplugs are more secure, more comfortable, and more effective at blocking out sound. With the addition of noise-canceling technology, your custom earplugs can help you relax while traveling, eliminate distracting noises, and still allow you to communicate with those around you.
Personalized Hearing Protection
Custom hearing protection produces a more secure fit and a tighter acoustic seal to prevent damaging sound from leaking around the earplug. Their greater level of comfort makes them a better choice for all-day use, and you won’t feel like you have to continuously adjust them while you’re occupied with your daily activities. Custom hearing protection is a great fit for those who participate in high-noise activities, like:
- Shooting and hunting
- High-noise work (construction, factories, industrial equipment, musicians, etc.)
- Using lawn and garden equipment or power tools and chainsaws
- Motorsports (motorcycles, dune buggies, snowmobiles, etc.)
- Concerts and sporting events

FAQs
About Custom Earmolds
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
Will I need an ear impression for custom earmolds?
Yes. Traditional custom impressions involve placing a dam in the ear canal, and then filling the outer ear with the impression material. When it sets, the impression is removed, inspected, packaged, and shipped to the manufacturer for fabrication.
New technology allows for earmold impressions using laser scanners to take your ear impression and then render a mold using 3D software and 3D printers. This technology allows for multiple earmolds to be built from a single impression, saving time and cost.
Can I get custom earmolds for the hearing aids I already have?
Yes. First-time hearing aid users typically use the generic domes until they discover that custom earmolds are more comfortable and provide a more secure fit and better acoustic seal. The extra money you invest into custom earmolds for your hearing aids can be well worth it.
Do you offer custom solutions for protection during swimming?
Yes. Custom earplugs for protection against swimmer’s ear and surfer’s ear provide a better, more watertight seal and a more secure fit.
Can I use custom earplugs for sleeping?
Yes. The acoustic seal provided by custom earplugs for sleeping is far superior to their generic counterparts. They are more comfortable and stay in place even if you’re pretty active while you sleep.
What is the advantage of custom earmolds?
The main advantages of custom earmolds include:
- More secure fit
- Improved acoustic/watertight seal
- Better frequency response to a full range of sounds
- Venting to limit reverberation inside your ears
- Precision-engineered filters for superior sound quality
- Interchangeable filters for a wide range of activities
- Comfortable wearing all day or all night
- Medical-grade silicone construction for less irritation
- A custom fit to each of your ears
