Materials custom earplugsÂ
With most custom-made products you can choose between acrylic and silicone material.Â
Hard otoplastics
Acrylic is a hard material and therefore easy to clean, easy to place in the ear and pleasant to wear in warm conditions. The hard custom earplugs are recommended in the food industry and in companies that work with oil products.
Advantages of acrylic hearing protectors: longer lifespan, more hygienic and easier to clean, better seal and feels cooler when you work in the heat.
Soft otoplastics
Silicone is soft and specially made to experience as little trouble as possible from the occlusion effect. This is the effect that closing the ear canal makes your own voice sound dull. That is why silicone is often used by music artists and orchestra members. The silicone hearing protectors are also well suited for motorcyclists, they fit comfortably under the motorcycle helmet.
Advantage of silicone hearing protectors: more color options, flat filters can be removed more easily from the hearing protector for cleaning the hearing protector and with silicone earplugs you don't have to get used to the earplugs for as long.
