Performing daily activities on the job or at home can damage hearing without you even realizing it. Exposure to noise over time and exposure to loud noise even briefly can cause sensorineural hearing loss, the most common type of hearing loss. Lawnmowers, power tools, ATVs, and leaf blowers all create damaging levels of noise. The audiologists at Hearing Solutions of Northwest Michigan offer hearing protection devices that are comfortable to wear and protect better than off-the-shelf earplugs.
Why Purchase Hearing Protection from an Audiologist
Whether you need protection from gunfire, occupational noise, power tools, wind or water, or you just need a quiet environment to sleep, Hearing Solutions of Northwest Michigan can help. Our staff will listen to your hearing protection goals and then recommend the right technology to meet your needs. Our audiologists both take the same care fitting hearing protection devices as they devote to fitting hearing aids.
You will be confident that your hearing protection fits your needs and your budget. From earplugs to earmolds, to special protection for shooters and musicians, our wide selection of hearing protection solutions guarantees we have what you need.
Electronic Shooters Protection
Sporting clays and hunting are popular hobbies, but both are damaging to hearing. The sound of firearms discharge is a minimum of 140dBs and large bore rifles produce more than 175dBs.
You need to protect your hearing while still hearing conversation and game noises. Electronic shooters protection solves this problem. By amplifying game noises, allowing you to hear conversation, and still blocking the sound of gunfire you shoot safely and comfortably.
Musicians’ Earplugs and Monitors
Musicians also have special hearing protection needs. The sound from amplified instruments and voices causes hearing loss but regular hearing protection distorts the sound you hear. Hearing Solutions of Northwest Michigan offers solutions that protect from hearing loss while you still hear clearly enough to perform pitch perfect.
Musician earplugs reduce sounds by about 20dBs without distortion. Custom earplugs fit deep into your ear canal. Your own voice sounds natural, but damaging decibels are blocked.
Earmolds
Earmolds stop water, wind and harmful noise from entering your ears. Our audiologists can custom make an earmold from an impression from your ear. These earmolds will fit comfortably for hours of comfortable wear, whether out hunting, swimming, sailing or wearing on the job.
Earplugs
Earplugs fit deep into the ear canal. They prevent water, wind and damaging levels of noise from reaching your middle and inner ear, where hearing loss occurs. Shift workers and frequent travelers wear custom earplugs to block out noise to sleep anytime and anywhere.
