Custom hearing protection available at CCMG Audiology

Patients can have custom earplugs made in about two weeks at Campbell County Medical Group Audiology.

At the initial appointment Audiologist Kathryn Schmidt-Miller, MS, CCC, assesses the kind of hearing protection needed, based on the type and duration of noise exposure. The most common type is a solid earplug, used primarily for patients who are exposed to continuous noise.

An impression is made of both ears, and is sent off for manufacturing. The patient wears their new earplugs for a few weeks, and comes back to the clinic to make sure they are providing adequate protection, called attenuation.

There is no charge for the initial and follow-up appointments, and the most common type of earplugs are about $250.
