Yes, if you participate in water sports and are prone to ear issues. They can make all the difference between an enjoyable hobby and one that leads to pain, hearing problems and worse.
It depends on your needs and budget. Many casual swimmers who don’t have ear issues can make do with off-the-shelf options. However, if you’re prone to ear infections like swimmer’s ear, have grommets (also known as ear tubes) or a ruptured eardrum, you’ll need custom moulded plugs that create a perfect watertight seal and keep your ear canal dry.
Yes – custom plugs can be made to fit any size ear. It’s especially important for children who’ve had grommets fitted to use swim plugs.
Absolutely. Swimmer’s ear happens when water is trapped in your ear canal, so the best solution is to avoid water entering your ear in the first place.
They can. Surfer’s ear, also known as extoses, are bony growths in the outer ear triggered by repeated exposure to cold water. By protecting your ear canal, earplugs can prevent them from forming, or getting worse.
While your custom product has the potential to last indefinitely, we recommend obtaining new ear impressions every 4 years. This is advised because the shape of your ear canals can undergo changes over time.

No, some individuals perceive that earplugs impact balance, but it's merely a shift in spatial awareness. Using any type of earplug does not have any physical effects on your balance. Many surfers and open water swimmers use them without issue.
The objective is to achieve a snug, waterproof fit, our Swim Plugs and Pro-Aquaz will generally accomplish this. However, we cannot provide a guarantee due to the anatomical variability in people's ears. Nonetheless, in all scenarios, the flushing effect of water and wind chill will be minimised, and it is this reduction that will aid in preventing Surfers Ear, Swimmer’s ear and ear infections
Aboslutely, if you've encountered surfers ear, dealt with infections, or faced downtime from the water due to surgery or waiting for antibiotics during any water sports, then the answer is a definite YES. Surfboard ≈$700 Wetsuit ≈$400, The Fins ≈$100, and protection against infections & surfers ear? That's PRICELESS!

Please email our reception@earlab.com.au. We can guarantee proper fitting and assess whether any slight adjustments are necessary to ensure they fit accurately. Providing a close-up photo of the plugs in the ear may aid us in diagnosing any fitting issues.
That's because the Evoke's use only a single driver for the range of frequencies. All the other ACS IEMs have at least a bass driver, and a separate treble/ tweeter driver. So therefore the range of the Evokes is not as wide, so they need to compact all the parts in a tiny driver.
The cables ACS uses for IEMs have the 0.78mm variety of 2-pin. Therefore, the cables are interchangeable with other IEM cables that use this spec. However, there is another version of 2-pin connector on the market which has a 0.75mm pin, the ACS cables would not work with these ones. However, prior to ordering the cable for IEMs from ACS, we need to clarify about the position of the socket on the other IEMs. On the ACS IEMs, the socket is slightly recessed into the mould and shaped like the rectangular shape on the end of the cable connector. So if the other IEM’s cable had a cylinder shaped barrel on the 2-pin connector it wouldn’t properly fit into the recession. If the socket on the IEMs is not recessed, then it shouldn’t be a problem. If this explanation is unclear, it might be a good idea to ask client to refer to the banner image of the IEMs on our website or even to get him to take a picture of his IEMs and email them to us.
Anyone who needs a quieter sleep environment. Think shift-workers, people with a partner who snores, and those dealing with barking dogs or traffic noise.
The SleepSound attenuated about 25-27dB. It is a solid earplug and it attenuates about as much as a very good fitting foam plug.
Unlike off-the-shelf foam options, these earplugs are made for comfort – they’re soft, lightweight and fit your ear canal perfectly. That means you can comfortably lie on your side, without irritation. They also won’t fall out of your ear while you sleep – a major complaint for those who use foam earplugs.
While your custom product has the potential to last indefinitely, we recommend obtaining new ear impressions every 4 years. This is advised because the shape of your ear canals can undergo changes over time.
Silicone earplugs generally do not make the ears sweaty because silicone is a breathable material. However, individual experiences may vary.
