Noise Exposure
Too many strong sound vibrations will damage the fragile cells and fibers of your ears – and the more you lose, the worse your hearing will get. Damaged cells and fibers cannot heal themselves, so any damage will become permanent. This can take the form of hearing loss and/or tinnitus (ringing or other noises in the ears).
63% of men and 46% of women (40-79 years of age) have hearing loss according to a 2021 study by Statistics Canada. Loud noise exposure, at work or during leisure activities, is one of the leading causes of hearing loss and tinnitus. You are not alone.
Many Canadians aged 40 to 79 years are unaware that they have hearing loss

Noise Protection Earplugs
You can control loud noise exposure with quality earplugs. We can recommend a variety of instant fit earplugs damaging as well as custom-made, filtered earplugs.
Musician Earplugs
Musicians must protect their hearing but maintain fidelity in what they perceive to monitor their instrument and the surrounding musicians. Musician earplugs can be instant-fit or custom-made but include a specialized filter which maintains a flat frequency response for authentic unaltered sound quality.
Sleep Plugs
No plug can completely drown out the sound of a loved one snoring, but reducing its level significantly can help reach restful sleep. These comfortable plugs can be custom-shaped or instant-fit.
Swim Plugs
Some ears cannot tolerate water in the canal due to ear infections, eardrum perforations, etc. Swimplugs are custom-made to seal the ear against water infiltration.
