Custom Hearing Protection
We are proud to now offer custom hearing protection products from TLS Sound Labs.
At Next Gen Hearing Center, we’re committed to offering the very best in hearing protection, which is why we’ve partnered with TLS Sound Labs, a leader in custom ear solutions. TLS specializes in the precise construction of earplugs, earmolds for hearing aids, earbud adapters, IEM (In-Ear Monitor) adapters, and other specialty parts designed for comfort, durability, and performance.
What sets TLS apart is their history of innovation. Originally starting in the back room of hearing aid centers, TLS quickly established a reputation for crafting reliable, custom-fit earplugs. Over time, they expanded their expertise to create proprietary solutions such as the Duck Dive EPs—ideal for surfing, swimming, and bathing—and specialized radio adapters trusted by S.W.A.T. teams and law enforcement.
Every TLS product is built on years of development and real-world testing, ensuring effectiveness and long-lasting protection. By bringing their expertise into our offerings, Next Gen Hearing Center provides patients with access to custom protection solutions that are proven, trusted, and tailored to individual needs.
With TLS Sound Labs as our partner, you can feel confident that your hearing is protected—whether at work, on the water, on stage, or in everyday life.
Duck Dive Surf Earplugs
Whether you love to surf, paddle board, swim, or all of the above, our Duck Dive surfing earplugs keep cold, bacteria-filled water out of your ear canal which promotes good ear health.
TLS Sound Labs designs and manufactures proprietary waterproof membranes for our custom molded Duck Dive surfer ear plugs which minimize cold water from entering the bony part of your ear canal, thus preventing surfer's ear. Due the custom molding and manufacturing process of our Duck Dive surfer ear plugs, we can ensure a tight, comfortable seal from wind & water every time you wear them, while maintaining close to normal hearing. These also work great for preventing swimmer's ear (ear infection caused by bacteria in the water).

Sleep Earplugs
Many people suffer from lack of sleep due to sensitivity to sound, a snoring spouse, or an assortment of other noises that can prevent you from getting a good night's sleep. If you're one of these individuals then custom sleep ear plugs are a great option for you.
Why use our sleep ear plugs?
Our sleep ear plugs are customized and made to be as comfortable as possible while providing the maximum amount of noise reduction. We accomplish both comfort and sound reduction by taking deep ear canal impressions which will ensure a snug fit. Then we hollow the outer canal section (bowl of the ear and canal) of the ear plugs to make them flexible enough to lay on a pillow. The result is comfortable sleeping ear plugs you can wear all night long!
