Custom Hearing Protection
Musicians understand the importance of hearing protection to prevent hearing damage without compromising the quality of the music experience. At Adams, we offer custom-made hearing protection and in-ear monitors from Variphone, specifically designed for musicians. Choose from a wide range of options, such as hearing protection with filters for optimal sound balance, fully isolating options, or in-ear solutions. Our colleague Heidi is happy to assist you in fitting hearing protection that offers a perfect fit and long-lasting comfort. Protect your hearing without sacrificing your passion for music.
In addition to hearing protection for musicians, we also provide custom-made earplugs for other purposes, such as sleeping, motorcycling, working in a factory, and much more. For every situation, we have a suitable solution to optimally protect your hearing.
Disclaimer: Since the ear canal of children under the age of 19 is still developing, we advise against having custom-made hearing protection made to avoid unnecessary costs. At a later age, this development slows down, making custom-made hearing protection generally last longer.

How does the fitting process work?
The following steps are required for fitting hearing protection or in-ear monitors. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to contact us for more information.
1. Make an Appointment
Start by scheduling an appointment. During our first meeting, we’ll discuss your musical environment: do you play in an orchestra, a rock band, or a brass ensemble? Each scenario requires a specific solution. Together, we’ll choose the hearing protection that best suits your situation.
2. Tailored Product Advice
We’ll explain your options:
Filters: For musicians, filters that maintain sound quality while dampening harmful peaks are crucial. Think of filters with flat attenuation, specially designed for music.
Fit and Material: We offer lightweight, comfortable solutions that you can wear for hours without distraction.
3. Inspection of Your Ear Canal
One of our specialists will check your ear canal using an otoscope. This ensures there are no blockages, such as earwax, in the way. If everything is clear, we proceed with the fitting process.
4. Taking Ear Impressions
This is where the customization begins:
- We place a soft, protective plug in your ear canal.
- Using a special silicone material, we create a detailed impression of your ear canal and outer ear.
- Within a few minutes, the material hardens, and we safely remove it.
This precise impression serves as the foundation for your custom-made hearing protection.
5. Production and Delivery Time
The ear impression is sent to Variphone. Your hearing protection is custom-made there, including the chosen filter. This process usually takes 2-3 weeks.
6. Fitting and Usage Instructions
Once your hearing protection is ready, you’ll come in for a fitting:
- We check that they fit perfectly and feel comfortable.
- The hearing protection also undergoes a leak test to ensure it provides a 100% seal.
- You’ll receive clear instructions on how to insert and remove them, as well as how to use them optimally during rehearsals, performances, or studio sessions.
7. Maintenance and Aftercare
To keep your hearing protection in top condition, you’ll receive tips on maintenance and cleaning. If you have questions later or if the fit changes over time, you can always contact us for adjustments or advice. Heidi can test your old earplugs for potential leaks.

Custom In-Ear Systems
Can I still clearly hear my own instrument and other musicians while playing?+
Yes. Hearing protection for musicians is specifically designed to reduce harmful sound levels without distorting the music. This ensures that tone, balance, and speech remain clearly audible, while your hearing is optimally protected during rehearsals, lessons, and performances.
Which filters are suitable for which instrument or situation?+
The right filter depends on the sound level and your personal preference. Lighter filters are often suitable for rehearsals, lessons, and acoustic ensembles. Stronger filters provide more protection during performances, amplified music, percussion, wind bands, or prolonged exposure to high sound levels. Our specialists are happy to help you choose the right filter.
How long does it take to fit custom hearing protection?+
The fitting usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. During the appointment, we make impressions of your ear canals and discuss which version and filters best suit your situation.
How long does production take and when will I receive my earplugs?+
After taking the ear impressions, production usually takes two to three weeks. As soon as your hearing protection is ready, we will contact you so you can collect it or have it shipped.
Can I also have custom hearing protection made for sleeping, motorcycling, or work?+
Yes. In addition to musician earplugs, we also offer custom hearing protection for sleeping, motorcycling, workshops, industry, and other situations where hearing protection is required. During an appointment, we are happy to advise you on the various options.
How long does custom hearing protection last?+
With normal use, custom hearing protection often lasts many years. The exact lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and any changes in the ear canal. Regular checks and proper care help maintain optimal fit and performance.
What does custom hearing protection cost at Adams Music Centre?+
The price depends on the selected type of hearing protection and the filters. During your appointment, we will gladly inform you about the current options and rates, so you can choose a solution that fits your use and budget.
