FAQs

Do I need to wear swim plugs?

Yes, if you participate in water sports and are prone to ear issues. They can make all the difference between an enjoyable hobby and one that leads to pain, hearing problems and worse.

What are the best swimming earplugs for me?

It depends on your needs and budget. Many casual swimmers who don’t have ear issues can make do with off-the-shelf options. However, if you’re prone to ear infections like swimmer’s ear, have grommets (also known as ear tubes) or an eardrum perforation, you’ll need custom moulded plugs that create a perfect watertight seal and keep your ear canal dry.

Can children use swimming earplugs?

Yes – custom plugs can be made to fit any size ear. It’s especially important for children who’ve had grommets fitted to use swim plugs.

Can earplugs prevent swimmer's ear?

Absolutely. Swimmer’s ear happens when water is trapped in your ear canal, so the best solution is to avoid water entering your ear in the first place.

Can earplugs help with surfer's ear?

They can. Surfer’s ear, also known as extoses, are bony growths in the outer ear triggered by repeated exposure to cold water. By protecting your ear canal, earplugs can prevent them from forming, or getting worse.

What is the duration of the fitting period for my custom earplugs or in-ear monitors?

While your custom product has the potential to last indefinitely, we recommend obtaining new ear impressions every 4 years. This is advised because the shape of your ear canals can undergo changes over time.

FAQs

Why does the Evoke2 have a smaller frequency range compared to all other IEMs?

That's because the Evoke's use only a single driver for the range of frequencies. All the other ACS IEMs have at least a bass driver, and a separate treble/ tweeter driver. So therefore the range of the Evokes is not as wide, so they need to compact all the parts in a tiny driver.

Are the cables for ACS IEMs interchangeable with IEMs sourced from other manufacturers?

The cables ACS uses for IEMs have the 0.78mm variety of 2-pin. Therefore, the cables are interchangeable with other IEM cables that use this spec. However, there is another version of 2-pin connector on the market which has a 0.75mm pin, the ACS cables would not work with these ones. However, prior to ordering the cable for IEMs from ACS, we need to clarify about the position of the socket on the other IEMs. On the ACS IEMs, the socket is slightly recessed into the mould and shaped like the rectangular shape on the end of the cable connector. So if the other IEM’s cable had a cylinder shaped barrel on the 2-pin connector it wouldn’t properly fit into the recession. If the socket on the IEMs is not recessed, then it shouldn’t be a problem. If this explanation is unclear, it might be a good idea to ask client to refer to the banner image of the IEMs on our website or even to get him to take a picture of his IEMs and email them to us.

FAQs

Who should use sleep plugs?

Anyone who needs a quieter sleep environment. Think shift-workers, people with a partner who snores, and those dealing with barking dogs or traffic noise.

Can you tell me the noise reduction rating (NRR) for the SleepSound?

The SleepSound attenuated about 25-27dB. It is a solid earplug and it attenuates about as much as a very good fitting foam plug.

What are the benefits of custom moulded earplugs for sleep?

Unlike off-the-shelf foam options, these earplugs are made for comfort – they’re soft, lightweight and fit your ear canal perfectly. That means you can comfortably lie on your side, without irritation. They also won’t fall out of your ear while you sleep – a major complaint for those who use foam earplugs.
