Cleaning your earplugs<\/strong><\/h2>\nEach time you use your earplugs give your earplugs a wipe with a tissue or a soft cloth when you take them out. Please store them in the case that they came with and keep them away from\u00a0moisture, heat or direct sunlight.<\/p>\n
Your custom sleep earplugs<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured above) can be cleaned in hot soapy water, then rinsed. Allow them to dry out before wearing them.<\/p>\n <\/figure>\nThe filters in a musician (or other) earplugs\u00a0<\/strong>must not be immersed in water.<\/strong><\/p>\nTo clean them, the filters can be popped out with a gentle squeeze and then you can clean the plugs in soapy water.<\/p>\n
Dry your earplugs thoroughly before putting the filters back.<\/p>\n
How long do earplugs\u00a0last?<\/strong><\/h2>\nOur ears continue to grow over our lifetime and silicon shrinks.\u00a0 This means that over time the earplugs will become looser and will not block as much sound (or swim plugs may let water in). With a lot of wear, earplugs discolour or the material may stiffen.<\/p>\n
Your custom earplugs could last many years but may not be as effective after a few years. Children\u2019s earplugs for swimming need to be replaced more often as their ear shape and size is continually changing. For optimal\u00a0function,\u00a0it is recommended\u00a0you get new earplugs every 2 \u2013 4 years (depending on what you are using them for).<\/p>\n
Replacing lost ear plugs<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe company that makes your earplugs keeps a copy of your ear impressions on file. This means if you lose one or both plugs they can be remade easily. Just give us a call and we will reorder them for you. The amount of time \nyour impression files are kept is variable between companies (from 2 \u2013 4 years). After that time you will need to come back into the clinic for new\u00a0ear impressions to be made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
