What is a Custom Earpiece?
Much of the world is made up of limited choices - small, medium, and large - but what about your ears and your hearing? Each pair of ears are as unique as each pair of eyes. While you can get by with generic reading glasses or foam ear-tips for short-term use - if you have to live with earpieces in your ears for hours at a time, having a custom earpiece will provide a consistently better and more comfortable hearing experience.
Generic earplugs can be uncomfortable and must be inserted perfectly - “every time” - to provide the advertised level of protection and can come loose during activity.
And if you have to communicate effectively while still blocking harmful noise, ordinary earplugs simply won't work. The fact is, there is only one way to protect your hearing effectively and comfortably - custom-fit earpieces from Westone.

Types of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is defined as either conductive (often responsive to medical or surgical treatment) or sensorineural (from disease or damage in the cochlea - inner ear - or along the nerve pathway from the inner ear to the brain).28 million people in the United States are affected by hearing loss in one or both ears. With the incidence of noise induced hearing loss occurring at younger and younger ages, it is important to understand how a noise induced hearing loss occurs, and what you can do to prevent it.
