 Customer Reviews & Comments

The Ear Impression

• A comfortable, custom made earmold is extremely important in the successful fitting of both hearing protection and hearing instruments.

• The earmold is a duplicate of the ear impression you send us ~ please take full and complete impressions, with sufficient canal depth.
  

• We do our best to work with all impressions.  However, complete and full impressions are required at Hocks Hearing Healthcare Products to guarantee fit and comfort for all custom made earpieces.

       The finished impressions need to meet the following criteria.

                              -The concha is round and full

                              -The canal is past the 2nd bend

                              -The helix is filled in and complete

                              -The impression fills the ear cavity, including the 

                                   tragus, concha, and antihelix 

•  Please look each impression over carefully
•  If an impression does not meet the above criteria, please take another impression.                                                 Link:  Suggestions For Taking Impressions
  

• Note any abnormalities in the impression, that are natural for your patient, on your order form.

• Please package your impressions for protection when shipping.  A small box is preferred.

R.W., Ocean Park, WA - "Love your products!  I have the Custom Noise Brakers for when I go to the shooting range."

J.A., OR - "I suddenly developed Tinnitus and Hyperacusis in 1987.  At that time I found out about Hocks.  I had my first pair of Custom Noise Brakers made.  That pair lasted until 1998, only because my purse was stolen with them in it.  I had another custom pair made, which to this day (2012), I still wear.  I can honestly say that I cannot live my life without them!  To me, they are a vital necessity, just like a pair of glasses.  With my Hyperacusis and Tinnitus I cannot tolerate loud noises and certain frequencies that other (normal hearing) people can.  Excellent product!  Since they are so vital to me, I'm getting a backup pair.  Keep up the great work!  They are the best!  I hope you are able to make this product forever!!  Thanks!"

Solid Earplugs

NRR 31

_____

Swim Plugs

Prevent leakage with a seal only available in custom units.  No swim mold can provide a 100% water-tight seal.  However, a properly fitted mold will prevent most moisture from entering the ear.  They are recommended, by swimming instructors and doctors, for persons requiring protection of the ear.

_____

Sleep Plugs

The sleeping plug is similar to a solid plug, but with the canal shortened and the outer surface of the mold phantomed (scooped out) for comfort when lying on the ear.
