Signia custom hearing protection

Signia custom hearing protection is molded to your ear by the team behind the hearing aids we fit every day. An even, tuned filter lowers harmful noise while keeping speech and the room clear, with a tuned filter for music and work, a solid seal for water, and impulse protection for the range. We take impressions and fit Signia in Midtown Manhattan and Garden City.

01 / Brand Overview

Signia protection at a glance

Protect your ears. Keep your sound.

Off-the-shelf foam muffles everything and leaves you cut off. Signia custom plugs use a tuned acoustic filter, shaped to your own ear, that lowers the dangerous energy while keeping music, speech, and awareness intact, so you stay protected and still in the room.

Protection from the name behind your hearing aids.

// The maker

Hearing technology, not foam

Signia is a global hearing technology brand. The same custom-mold craft and acoustic know-how that builds its hearing aids shapes every protection earpiece.

// How they work

Filters and solid seals

A precision acoustic filter lowers sound evenly for music and work, or a solid block seals it out for swimming and heavy impulse noise. No batteries, nothing to charge.

// Fit in-house

Molded to your ear

We take impressions in Midtown Manhattan and Garden City, choose the right material and filter, and verify the finished fit before you leave with them.

02 / Why it matters

Noise causes cumulative damage

Long or repeated exposure to sound at or above 85 decibels can permanently damage hearing, and a single impulse like a gunshot can do it instantly. Custom protection lowers the dose without shutting out the world.

Hear the music, lose the damage

The musician plug is the one we fit most. A precision acoustic filter lowers the whole mix evenly, so bass, treble, and detail stay true, just at a safe level. Small and discreet, it is built for players on stage and fans in the crowd who refuse to trade sound quality for safety.

Hunting & High-Decibel

Impulse protection · 140 dB shot

A gunshot registers about 140 decibels, loud enough to cause permanent loss in an instant. Custom-made plugs are designed for these transient impulse sounds at the range or in the field, and for snowmobiles, jet skis, and other high-decibel hobbies.

04 / The custom fit

How a custom fit works

Three short steps from impression to a sealed, verified earpiece.

  1. 1

    Ear impressions

    A doctoral audiologist takes a quick, comfortable impression of each ear in our Midtown or Garden City office.

  2. 2

    Pick your style & color

    You choose the style with our guidance and pick your color from the range, then we take it from there.

  3. 3

    Fit & verify

    When your Signia earpieces arrive, we check the seal, confirm the fit, and show you how to wear and care for them.

05 / Care

Keep them working

Custom Signia protection is built to last with simple care.

// Clean

Wipe and dry

Wipe your plugs clean and let them dry fully before storing. Keep the filter clear and the shell clean so the fit and finish last for years.

// Store

Use the case

Keep them in the carrying case between uses to stay clean and protected, and bring them in if a filter, dome, or battery ever needs replacing.

06 / FAQ

Signia protection questions

What kinds of Signia hearing protection are there?

Signia makes five custom-molded families: Musician & Music-Lover with a tuned filter, Hunting & High-Decibel for impulse noise, NoiseShield for the workplace, SkyComfort for flight noise, and Swim protection that seals out water. Each is shaped to your ear and tuned to where the noise is.

Which musician filter should I choose?

Musician filters give an even, flat reduction, commonly around 9, 15, or 25 dB. Lighter filters suit quieter acoustic settings, stronger filters suit loud stages and clubs. We match the filter to your environment at the fitting.

How long does a custom Signia pair take?

Impressions take a few minutes in office. The finished custom earpieces come back from Signia, usually within a couple of weeks, and we do a short fit check when they arrive.

What materials and colors are available?

Signia custom protection comes in a range of materials, finishes, and colors. We help you choose the right material and filter for how you will use them.

Do you fit Signia protection at both offices?

Yes. We take impressions and fit Signia custom hearing protection in both Midtown Manhattan and Garden City, Long Island.
