Hearing Protection

Noise-induced hearing loss is an entirely preventable health issue. For some, noise exposure may be related to their work. For others, it may come from recreational activities like music, concerts, or hobbies. Custom earplugs can help protect your hearing in any of these noisy environments.
Call us at (845) 507-3239 to schedule an appointment and explore options tailored to your needs. We offer a variety of custom products to help you perform your work or enjoy your hobbies while protecting your hearing.

Custom earpieces are made from the impression of your ear. Custom earpieces offer:
  • Maximum comfort
  • Best retention in the ear
  • Repeatable & situationally appropriate reduction in sound
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Lower cost long term

"I have had a wonderful experience here with Dr. Sree. She is one of the kindest people I have met, and I’m grateful to have met her. She is a great audiologist, as she is currently helping me block out all sound due to terrible migraines and helping my mother regain her hearing, so she’s trying out hearing aids for a few days (a brilliant idea from her). It's going pretty well, considering we just found out she needed them. She is one of those doctors you love, and there is absolutely no doubt everyone will love her. Maybe you just have to meet her to understand."

"I needed a hearing test to renew a commercial license. I called and had an appointment the next day. The office was clean and neat, and the audiologist was very professional and explained the testing process. The test took about half an hour and was very thorough. When the test was concluded, she explained the results and treatment options. There was no high-pressure sales pitch for hearing aids or additional visits. As an older adult, I feel the exam and test were beneficial to understand the condition of my hearing health."

Musicians' Earpiece

Whether you're playing your instrument or attending a concert, protecting your hearing is essential. Custom musician plugs and in-ear monitors help you enjoy music now while preserving your hearing for the future.

Swimming and Watersports Earpieces

Some of us love being in the water, whether it's for a leisurely swim or competitive training. While over-the-counter swim plugs can help prevent water from entering the ears, they are often bulky and uncomfortable. Custom swim plugs are a better option. Your ears are as unique as you are, and custom plugs are designed to offer the best possible fit. They are more comfortable, more secure, and more effective at keeping water out. Use swim plugs to protect your ears while swimming.
At Connect Audiology, we can help you find the best swimming and watersports earpieces for your unique needs. Contact us to schedule your appointment.

Hunting and Recreational Shooting Earpieces

We offer a variety of custom hearing protection options for gun enthusiasts. Custom plugs are made from a mold of your ear, which allows them to fit securely and comfortably. Over-the-counter foam plugs can vary in how well they protect your hearing, depending on how they are inserted. Custom plugs provide more consistent and reliable protection. We carry trusted brands like Westone and SoundGear, including DefendEar Solid plugs, Westone DefendEar passive plugs, and digital options like the DX1, DX3, and DX5.

"I strongly recommend this practice when in need of audiological service. My exam was comprehensive, thorough, and state of the art. Dr. Radhakrishnan took the time to explore my history and was patient in explaining to me the results of my test in a format and language that could be understood. I will be using her for hearing aid evaluation as well."
