CUSTOM FIT EAR PLUGS
Custom Fit Ear Plugs from SWATCOM are precision-moulded in the UK from soft medical-grade silicone to match your own ear impressions, giving a seal that never slips, pinches or fatigues.
This perfect fit delivers up to 31 dB of dependable noise reduction while still letting you follow conversation—ideal for shooting, motorsport, swimming, industrial shifts or a peaceful night’s sleep.
Fully Reusable and hygienic, they’re the smartest long-term investment in your hearing.
The Simple 4 Step Ear Impression Process
Step 1
First things first, one of our qualified ear impression takers will make sure your ears are clean & healthy enough for us to take your impressions. If all is good we will carefully place a foam otostop (Soft foam with 2 string chords attached) into your ear to prevent anything from damaging your ear drum.
Step 2
Once the otostop is securely placed, we will use a press gun to fill the space from the foam otostop with soft medical grade silicone to take the mould of your ear.
Step 3
Once the soft medical silicone is filling & covering the ear canal, we will leave it to set for roughly 5 minutes.
Step 4
Once set, we will remove the set mould of your ear canal, bag & label it & send it off to be manufactured into a custom headset that will be completely unique to your ears!
SWATCOM HQ too far? No problem!
If our Hampshire Headquarters is too far, there are alternatives! We attend many shows around the UK throughout the year where we can take your Ear Impressions, so have a look at our Events Page to see if we’re exhibiting near you sometime soon.
Alternatively, you can visit your local audiologist such as Specsavers or Boots (in the UK) and have your ear impressions taken by them. Please note that they will typically charge for this service. Please ask them to go to the second bend of your ear, as Shallow Ear Impressions are not suitable for Custom Fit Ear Plugs.
Once you have your ear impressions, all you need to do is post them to us along with proof of your Custom Fit Ear Plugs order (one of the products seen at the top of this page). We’ll then proceed to get your new custom ear plugs manufactured, which will take approximately 2 weeks.
Finally, once they’re ready, we’ll dispatch your Custom Ear Plugs to your designated delivery address!
