Protectors – Solid Custom Earplugs for Work

Yes. Protectors meet WorkSafeBC standards and are rated Class A for high-noise environments (95–105 dBA). They’re designed specifically for industrial work, where consistent, serious hearing protection is required.

Protectors are rated for 26 to 30 dB NRR, depending on the depth and fit.
To estimate how much protection any earplug gives you: subtract 7 from the NRR, then divide by 2. So a 30 NRR plug gives you about 11.5 dB of real-world protection. That might not sound like much, but it’s a significant reduction—especially over long shifts.

You should get at least five years out of your custom earplugs (some people get many more). Some replace them around that mark just to get a fresh pair. The main factor is whether your ear shape changes over time - most ears hold steady for at least 4-5 years.

Yes. Each set is custom-molded from soft, medical-grade silicone to fit your ears exactly. That means no pressure points, no slipping, and no irritation—even during long procedures.

Yes. Protectors are designed with a flush, low-profile fit that stays out of the way of other headgear or PPE - whether it's a hard hat, safety glasses, or a respirator.

Yes. We keep your ear impressions on file for six years

If you ever need a replacement, a different type of earplug, or want to upgrade, just let us know. You can reorder directly through our website—no need to redo the fitting

We’ve never come across an ear too small or a canal too unusual that we couldn’t fit. These are custom-made to your ear, so we can work with any size or shape.

They do. Solid silicone plugs are easy to wipe down and don’t have filters or channels that can get clogged. They’re simple to clean at the end of the day—just rinse or wipe, and they’re good to go.

Some insurance plans do cover custom hearing protection, especially if they explicitly list it or offer a Health Spending Account. We’ve also seen success with reimbursement under extended benefits.

That said, most insurance coverage for “audiology” is focused on hearing aids, which are classified as medical devices. Custom earplugs aren’t typically considered medical devices and may not be covered under standard audiology services.

We don’t offer direct billing, but we can provide an itemized receipt listing them as “Custom Hearing Protection,” along with our license number from the College of Speech and Hearing Health Professionals of BC — which may help with your claim.

Once we have your ear impressions, your earplugs will ship within three weeks. After shipping, delivery typically takes 1-3 days for local orders in the BC Lower Mainland, a bit longer for orders across Canada, and longer for international orders depending on your location.

All earplugs are shipped via Canada Post for Canadian orders and UPS for international orders.

If Canada Post is on strike, we use UPS. They will arrive in a 6 x 6 silver bubble mailer which should fit in your mailbox.

If we already have your ear impressions on file, nothing else is required. You’ll receive an email with your tracking number once your order ships. If we don’t have your impressions, local customers will need to book a free appointment with us for ear impressions. Out-of-town customers will need to get impressions from an audiologist or hearing clinic using our impressions guide. We’ll help you find an audiologist if needed.

No. All of our earplugs are crafted from ultra-soft, medical-grade silicone that’s hypoallergenic, breathable, and designed for long-term comfort without irritation.

Your order includes a set of Engagers custom earplugs with one set of filters (chosen by you), a small zipper pouch, a cleaning tool, and ear balm to help you get them in during the first use.

Changes can usually be made within a few days of your order. Please contact us ASAP if you need to make changes, and double-check your shipping address.

Not at all. The process is quick, painless, and safe — just a soft molding material placed gently in your ear canal for a few minutes. It's also a great opportunity to demonstrate how much sound you can expect to be blocked with your finished earplugs.
