Our world is noisy – and that extends into our daily interactions, hobbies and careers. Whether your hobby is seeing or playing live music on the weekend or working in a machine shop or at an airline, specific devices can help deter the development of hearing loss or keep established cases from worsening.

While over-the-counter solutions are available, these may not be ideal for your particular needs. Disposable plugs or easy and cheap to find, but they don’t always provide the most proper protection or fit. If you are spending a lot of time immersed in sound, consider the wide range custom protection options available to you through Clarity by Kalie.
