How
To Prevent Hearing Loss
Hearing protection such as ear plugs, ear buds, or ear muffs can go a long way in protecting your ears from permanent damage. At Enhanced Hearing Center in Springfield, MO, we help you choose the right ear protection for your lifestyle and needs.
These protective devices limit your ears’ exposure to loud sounds by reducing the number of decibels that reach your eardrum. Professional ear protection products are rated by their Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), measured in decibels. Many quality ear muffs or ear plugs, for example, carry NRRs ranging from 28 to 33 decibels.
That’s significant protection—because long-term exposure to sounds at just 85 decibels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Whether you’re working in loud environments, attending concerts, or just trying to protect your ears during everyday activities, we’re here to help you choose the best hearing protection available.
Ear plugs and ear molds made specifically for your ear will fit more snugly in your ear canal to help block high-decibel sounds. Enhanced Hearing Center can provide custom ear protection and ear molds for your smart devices. We also offer sleep plugs made specifically for you.

You may love your job, but between exposure to high-decibel noise like sirens, megaphones, gunshots and even traffic damages the sensitive parts of your ear over time.
