Education & Healthcare

Hearing protection is important in educational and healthcare environments because daily sound levels can often exceed 80 dB, and short peaks may even reach 100 dB. In classrooms, workshops, childcare facilities, and medical settings, this constant exposure to noise from equipment, instruments, or busy surroundings can cause fatigue, stress, and long-term hearing damage. Custom-made hearing protection helps reduce sound to a safe level while allowing professionals and students to stay focused, communicate clearly, and remain aware of their environment.

Yes, Elacin hearing protectors are perfectly safe and highly effective in hospitals and medical environments. All Elacin products are CE certified and meet strict European safety and hygiene standards. Made from high-quality, hypoallergenic materials, they are comfortable for long shifts and easy to keep clean. Thanks to their advanced acoustic filters, all sounds remain audible but are reduced to a safe level, allowing you to hear colleagues, patients, and alarms clearly without risking your hearing. Custom-made for each user, Elacin protectors combine hygiene, comfort, and communication clarity, making them an excellent choice for healthcare professionals in dynamic and demanding environments.

Elacin hearing protectors are designed to reduce harmful noise while keeping speech and important sounds clear. Depending on the selected filter, they typically reduce sound levels by 9 to 29 dB, lowering noise to a safe level without blocking communication. The advanced Elacin acoustic filters ensure natural sound perception, so voices, alarms, and environmental cues remain easy to hear and understand. This makes Elacin hearing protectors ideal for professionals who need reliable noise reduction while staying fully connected and aware of their surroundings.

The fitting process for custom-made Elacin hearing protection in healthcare and education ensures a precise fit, maximum comfort, and effective noise reduction while maintaining the highest hygiene standards. Every earplug is created from an accurate ear impression made by ISO-certified technicians. Our service engineers come on location to carry out the imprint taking, making the process convenient and efficient.

Here’s how a typical fitting session works:

1. Introduction and preparation: The technician explains the process and checks the ears of each participant.
2. Ear inspection: The ear canals are examined to ensure they are clean and ready for impressions.
3. Protection placement: A small cotton plug is gently inserted to protect the eardrum.
4. Impression taking: Soft medical-grade silicone is carefully injected to capture the exact shape of the ear.
5. Curing and removal: After a few minutes, the material hardens slightly and the impressions are carefully removed.
6. Final check: The technician inspects the impressions for accuracy before sending them to Elacin’s production facility.

For group sessions, employees or students are usually guided through imprint taking in small groups of 4 to 5 every 15 minutes, ensuring efficiency without compromising comfort or quality.

Yes, Elacin hearing protection is perfect for students and pupils. In classrooms, music rooms, and workshops, they help young ears stay comfortable and focused by reducing distracting noise while keeping speech clear. Students can hear teachers, classmates, and instructions easily, allowing them to concentrate better and enjoy a more productive and pleasant learning environment.

The lifespan of custom-made Elacin hearing protection in educational and healthcare environments is five years. This is not due to the quality of the materials, which remain excellent, but because the shape of the ear canal can change over time. With proper cleaning and care, the filters continue to reduce harmful noise while keeping speech clear, providing reliable protection for students, teachers, and healthcare professionals throughout their lifespan.
