What to know

A clearer look at this service

Loud sounds are a part of so many occupations in the United States, whether the sound is caused by gunfire, music, or equipment related to the job. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), people should keep noise level below 85 dBA for eight hours to avoid hearing loss. No matter your occupation, you should take proper steps to protect your ears for the short and long-term. Get in touch with the team at Audiology Associates of Westchester to learn more about the right occupational hearing protection for your line of work! Our audiologist is proud to serve patients across White Plains, NY; Harrison, NY; Scarsdale, NY; Rye, NY; Mt. Kisco, NY; and Greenwich, CT.

Musicians

While musicians are often exposed to dangerous noise levels, normal earplugs cover up all the sounds they need to hear. We can create custom ear molds to protect your hearing while still leaving you able to hear the music. We also provide in-ear monitors; just call us to learn more!

Helpful notes

Think about whether you need to hear speech, music, alerts, or environmental sound while protected.

Bring existing plugs or earmolds if they are uncomfortable.

Ask about musician plugs, swim molds, sleep plugs, and occupational options if relevant.

Hunters

Gunshot sounds range from 140 to 190 decibels, far above the acceptable point of safe sounds. Hunting and recreational shooting involve listening to the quiet sounds around you, so special hearing protection is necessary for these tasks. You can select an over-the-counter earplug or a customized electronic earplug.

Law Enforcement

Firing a gun creates dangerously loud noise, but law enforcement officers need to hear their surroundings at all times. Protect your hearing on the job by calling Audiology Associates of Westchester for customized protection. Our team will make sure you don’t suffer from irreversible ear damage.

Decision guide

Choose this appointment with confidence

This is a good fit when

  • You work, perform, exercise, hunt, travel, or socialize around loud sound.
  • You want custom protection that is more comfortable and consistent than disposable plugs.
  • You already have tinnitus or hearing changes and want to reduce further risk.

This may not be the first step when

  • Ear pain, drainage, sudden hearing change, or infection symptoms.
  • A hearing aid problem that needs device service rather than noise protection.

What the visit should clarify

  • Discussion of sound exposure, fit needs, communication needs, and protection goals.
  • Recommendations for musician plugs, custom molds, sleep plugs, swim plugs, or other options.
  • Guidance on when protection helps and when it can interfere with communication or safety.

Useful questions to ask

  • Which filter level fits my everyday noise exposure?
  • Can I still communicate while wearing this protection?
  • How should I clean and store custom molds?
