Adequate protection of the hearing mechanism in the form of ear plugs is as important as the use of a helmet and protective clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional foam and wax earplugs can be a solution but are often uncomfortable to wear and isolate the user from their surroundings too much. Alternatively if not inserted properly they provide little or no protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom made hearing protection provides an individual and unique fit for the user allowing guaranteed levels of protection and comfort.
