Custom Hearing Protection & Earmolds
Preserve and protect your hearing
Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to safeguarding your hearing.
Prolonged exposure to loud noises, whether from work, leisure activities or environmental factors, can cause irreversible damage to the structures of the ear. Haring hearing protection, such as earplugs, is essential in noisy environments to prevent hearing loss.
Custom-fit hearing protection can be made for comfort and optimal performance.
At Ekho Audiology, we emphasize the importance of hearing protection and offer customized solutions to help preserve your hearing.
Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)
Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is one of the leading factors contributing to hearing loss. More than 15% of Americans experience irreversible noise induced hearing loss. This type of hearing loss may be immediate or may take some time before it is noticed. The effects can be temporary or permanent, affecting both or either of the ears. NIHL is most often a preventable form of hearing loss.
For construction workers, law enforcement, landscapers, motorcyclists, snowmobilers, hunters, and many more, the risk of irreversible ear damage is very real.
For musicians, whether you play on stage or in your garage, the volume of your music can damage your ears. Unique hearing protection technology offers musicians control over the volume of their monitors while simultaneously protecting their ears.
For a spectator in the crowd at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, in Bend, listening to one of the many amazing bands on the stage can also have an effect on your hearing. It may depend on where you are standing (or sitting), but you might notice that sound travels incredibly far and can be unusually loud. We want to protect your ears from ringing that evening—or even the next day!

The NIOSH Sound Level Meter app (free) compatible with iOS-based mobile devices, can measure the sound level in your environment — at home, work, or play.
Using your phone or tablet’s built-in microphone, the easy-to-use app offers an instant decibel rating. It does not replace professional instruments or expert opinion, but it can help approximate noise.
