Before ordering your Earplugs
Our custom earplugs cost between $179 and $249 per pair, depending on the model of hearing protector chosen. For example, protectors with acoustic filters are more expensive than those without.
Our custom earplugs are made from high-quality, hypoallergenic, non-porous and safe medical silicone. Silicone is ideal for earplugs thanks to its flexibility and durability. It's soft, natural-feeling and easy to insert, yet strong enough for regular use. Designed for your comfort and protection, our silicone earplugs are high quality, easy to clean and maintain, guaranteeing years of satisfaction.
Custom earplugs can last up to 5 years. However, the shape of your ears may change, requiring replacement.
At 3dB lab, we're proud to offer you high-quality custom earplugs. Our products are designed with carefully selected materials and follow a rigorous manufacturing process. That's why we offer a full warranty covering comfort for 90 days, as well as defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years.
Custom earplugs are versatile. Whether you're shooting a rifle, playing your musical instrument or swimming, they protect your hearing. Customize them with a filter to attenuate certain sounds. For example, hunting filters let through soft sounds, but reduce the loud noises of gunshots.
3dB lab offers specialized plugs for hunting, noise, music, motorcycling, air travel, sleeping, swimming, sensitive ears and dentists.
Several filters are available to provide the right level of hearing protection. A high level of attenuation is required for very noisy activities, while a lower level of attenuation is recommended for less intense noise. Whatever the level of attenuation chosen, the filters are designed to maintain a balanced listening experience. It is therefore important to choose the level of attenuation according to the ambient noise.
3dB lab simplifies your choice by offering specialized products for different needs.
Yes, you can purchase an additional acoustic filter and change your filter using the included removal tool. What's more, if you're within the first 30 days of your purchase, you can request a filter change from our team.

Nothing special: earwax is rarely a problem during ear impression appointments. However, if you have a tendency to produce excessive earwax in your ears, earwax removal may be necessary before completing the impressions.
If we have your hearing impressions from 3 years ago or less, we can make new earplugs without taking new impressions.
After receiving your Earplugs
If your earplugs aren't comfortable or if there's a problem with the fit, don't worry, we offer adjustments at our Montreal facility located at 333 Chabanel Street West.
You can also send your earplugs by mail, along with a fitting form indicating the location of the discomfort or pain. Our technical staff will adjust the earplugs accordingly.
For more information on our after-sales service, visit our dedicated page.
We understand that earplugs may not be comfortable for everyone, but because they are custom-made for your ears, we cannot offer refunds. Your 100% satisfaction remains our goal, and we'll work with you for the first 90 days to make sure the earplugs are comfortable and meet your expectations.
Yes, of course. Wash your earplugs with hand soap after several uses. If your plugs have a filter, remove it before washing, then replace it. You can also use a damp disinfectant wipe to clean them. Avoid wipes containing alcohol or abrasive materials to preserve their durability.
No worries! We keep a 3D copy of your earprints on our servers for 3 years. You can easily recommend identical earplugs at a reduced price.
