Westone Laboratories, Inc. is widely recognized as the worldwide leader in the design & manufacturing of custom earmolds for hearing healthcare and other applications. 

Elite Series

The Elite Series™ by Westone has become the top choice of professional musicians for the best live performances.

A monitor of unequalled sound quality, response and reliability with the fit and comfort that only custom-molded earpieces can provide. Feedback is eliminated, onstage noise levels are lowered and vocal fatigue is reduced. Elite Series monitors feature a body heat-activated “flex-canal” to ensure a perfect acoustic seal, regardless of your activity.

 

AC Series

 Designed specifically for worship teams, emerging musicians on a budget, and personal listeners looking to upgrade to their first custom-fit product. The AC2 breaks new ground in performance, quality and value. Handcrafted in the same custom lab along side the revered Westone ES Series, the AC2 uses balanced armature drivers to accurately reproduce your live performance.

 

Custom Fit Hearing Protection

Earplugs of choice for the discriminating performing musician or concert-goer. With the perfect fit that only customs can provide, the flat attenuation characteristics allow the music to be heard accurately but at a safer volume.

ACS Custom Ear Molds/Earplugs

The PRO filter series has been designed anew with the wearer in mind. For starters, it’s smaller than many competing filters, which means it can fit into smaller ears without any protrusion which is great for both comfort and aesthetics. The filters are also user-swappable so you can chop and change as your environment demands to any other filter in the PRO range giving you complete control over your protection with just a single set of ear molds. In addition, the PRO series are water resistant so they can be used outside or in high moisture environments and can withstand perspiration without it damaging the filter membrane.

Recently, ACS partnered with Etymotic Research to start the CUSTOM•FIT upgrade program, which offers custom-matched ear molds to replace the ear tips included with Etymotic earphones and headsets.  See more below about the ACS/Etymotic Custom Fit Program.

CUSTOM•FIT Program

The CUSTOM•FIT upgrade program offers custom-matched ear molds to replace the ear tips included with Etymotic earphones and headsets. Because the CUSTOM•FIT ear mold is an exact replica of an individual’s own ear, it provides the best seal for impeccable sound quality and the highest degree of comfort imaginable.

Estes Audiology takes part in the CUSTOM•FIT voucher program schedule an appointment for the ear impressions needed to make these custom ear molds.  Estes Audiology will send the ear mold impressions to ACS Custom. ACS Custom retains files of the impressions, so if customers want ear molds for additional Etymotic earphone or headphone products, they can order them without further ear impression appointments.

Sensaphonics Hearing Conservation, Inc. designs and manufactures custom personal monitors (IEMs) and ear plugs for the preservation of hearing.

Sensaphonics Hearing Conservation was founded by audiologist Michael Santucci in 1985 as a research and development company committed to controlling the damaging effects of loud sound, especially regarding musicians and hearing loss. With the advent of in-ear monitor (IEM) systems in the early 90s, Sensaphonics developed custom-fitted earphones designed to act as hearing protectors, isolating performers from ambient sound while allowing the in-ear monitor mix to be heard more clearly, even at lower volumes.
