Musician Ear Molds:

Designed to Meet the Challenges of

a Professional Musician

Professional musicians

work in a very challenging

listening environment and

require special musician

ear molds that can protect

their hearing from loud

sounds without distorting

what they hear.

Traditional earplugs are

not the solution as they

reduce sound by muffling

low and mid-range

frequencies, something a

musician cannot tolerate.

Musicians are exposed to a

wide variety of sound

levels, often for very long

stretches at a time. Each

situation can demand a

different level of protection.

For example, while the

person who plays large

strings in an orchestra

needs protection from the

brass section, the flutist

needs protection from the

percussion section.

On the other hand, a vocalist

needs ear protection from his

or her own voice, speakers

and monitors.

Some musicians even

use one type of ear mold

in one ear and another

type in the other,

depending on the location

and source of the sound.

Your hearing healthcare provider

can help you find the musician ear

mold that will allow you to hear

clearly during rehearsals and

performances while ensuring you

do not experience noise-induced

hearing loss.
