In our everyday lives, our ears are constantly under attack from a steady stream of sounds at varying levels. Exposure to high levels of noise can cause noise induced hearing loss, which is irreversible damage to the ears. Protecting your hearing is crucial for maintaining overall wellbeing and helping reduce the risk of noise induced hearing loss.
MY Hearing Clinic are providers of custom-made hearing protection, whatever your requirements. Whether you enjoy sports such as shooting or swimming, you are a musician, a motorcyclist or work in a noisy environment, custom-made hearing protection is an important investment. These products offer superior protection compared to standard alternatives as they are custom-made specifically for you, offering optimal fit, comfort and protection.

Whether you participate in shooting as a profession or a hobby, wearing hearing protection is absolutely essential. A gunshot creates a sound in excess of 120 dB making it as loud as a jet engine taking off. This level of sound can result in permanent damage to your hearing, perforated eardrums, or cause distressing noise-induced tinnitus and acoustic trauma – and it only takes one shot for that to happen.
Custom-made hearing protection is highly recommended for activities such as shooting, which presents such a significantly high risk of permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. Off-the-shelf products are not moulded to your individual ear shape and size and may therefore not provide a suitable level of protection.
Custom-made products offer maximum comfort and noise protection throughout the duration of your shooting club or working day as they are designed to be worn for long periods of time without causing irritation to the ears.

Exposure to loud music over a prolonged period of time can result in irreversible damage to your hearing. Ear protection for musicians and those working within the music industry is essential for your hearing health.
Our custom musicians ear plugs allow you to protect your hearing whilst communicating effectively. Every ear is unique, our custom ear plugs provide your ears with the protection they need whilst giving the ultimate fit for comfort and noise isolation.
Benefits of our custom ear plugs include:
Specifically developed for musicians, our ear plugs incorporate a unique flat attenuating filer. The ear plugs are tuned to provide a predefined reduction in ambient noise by 10, 15, 17, 20, 26 or 27dB, whilst maintaining sound clarity for performance. This allows you to hear your own instrument whilst still being able to hear the blend with other musicians around you.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations (Noise Regulations 2005) has the aim of protecting workers from excessive noise at their place of work, which could cause them to lose their hearing and/or to suffer from tinnitus (permanent ringing in the ears).
Exposure to excessive noise at work can have a significant impact on a worker’s hearing, in some cases it can lead to a complete loss of hearing if the noise exposure is regularly reaching unsafe levels.
Here at MY Hearing Clinic, we can produce custom-made hearing protection ensuring you and your employees have the right hearing protection to work safely.
Hearing protection should be issued to employees where mitigation of the noise is unable to reduce the noise to a safe level, or as a short-term solution while other control methods are investigated and implemented. Some of the requirements for achieving acceptable noise levels include:
If you work in an environment where noise is intrusive for most of the working day, you have to raise your voice to hold a normal conversation, or you are required to use noisy machinery or tools for over 30 minutes a day, there are certain expectations you can have of your employer to help protect your hearing. The attendance of regular hearing checks is advised as this can allow you to monitor your hearing thresholds ensuring there are no changes related to noise exposure at work.
MY Hearing Clinic provides custom-made hearing protection for use in industry, ensuring you get appropriate protection with a comfortable fit. These can provide a reduction in sound levels or a total blockage of sound where required.
