With over a billion people around the world at risk of noise-induced hearing loss, hearing protection is an industry that continues to grow. 

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is permanent hearing loss caused by exposure to loud sounds over time or even from a single loud event, and it can be really difficult to detect until it’s too late. And that’s where hearing protection comes in.

Align with mission: All audiology clinics have one core element in common - they’re committed to helping their customers’ ear health. Reinforce the commitment to complete hearing care and patient well-being by providing them with a product that will save them from a very quiet future.

Prevention is key: Proactive measures can prevent hearing loss before treatment is even necessary. Rather than waiting to fix a problem, help them prevent it entirely.

Expand service offerings: Provide a comprehensive range of solutions for patients. If you already offer hearing aids, then this is the perfect product to offer customers that don’t need hearing aids. That way, you always have an option to upsell.

Potential revenue stream: Hearing protection is becoming more and more popular, which means people are actively looking to buy it. You could be missing out on potential sales that you don’t even need to advertise. By offering hearing protection as one of your services, you would be able to sell to your customers rather than them having to find an alternate provider.

Referred sales: By connecting with a hearing protection manufacturer (such as ACS Custom) you can get sales referred to you, simply from signing up. Customers looking to purchase these products will need somewhere to get them fitted, and if your location is close to them, they’ll come to you instead. Additionally, you will receive free website and foot traffic from the manufacturer by being a dealer or partner.

Education and awareness: An audiology clinic is the perfect place for customers to buy hearing protection from, as you can provide education and care they can’t get online. This can turn into more positive reviews and more sales through word of mouth.

Build patient trust and loyalty: By providing hearing protection, it demonstrates that you offer a holistic approach to hearing health, and helps create patient trust and loyalty. They will know that you truly care about their hearing health.

General earplugs: Hearing protection for a broad range of uses, such as music and concerts or noisy work environments. Premium earplugs allow you to hear conversation and just block out the dangerous noise.

Swimming earplugs: Designed to keep the water out of your ears and prevent “swimmer's ear”. Works like a secure seal that keeps water away from the ear canal.

Shooting earplugs: Actives when a loud noise (like a gunshot) goes off, to protect your ears from sudden deafening sounds but still allows you to hear your surroundings.

Sleeping earplugs: The perfect solution for a good night’s sleep. Helps keep out noisy environments and loud snoring, and is comfortable to sleep in.

Communication earplugs: Protect your ears while communicating with your team. Perfect for security guards, TV presenters, sports events and racing.

Universal earplugs: A one-size fits all approach. A more affordable option for those who only need earplugs on a rare occasion. 

In Ear Monitors: In-ear monitors (IEMs) are exceptional audio devices that provide professional-grade sound reproduction for musicians, audio engineers, and audiophiles. With their high-fidelity sound, noise isolation, and ergonomic designs, IEMs deliver crystal-clear audio clarity, making them a go-to choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

High quality products: As mentioned on popular news sites like TechRadar and New York Times, and rated #1 on The Telegraph, ACS offers the highest quality hearing protection on the market.

Wholesale pricing: Offer a competitive price to your customers so they won’t look anywhere else.

Professional support: Work with a team of audiologists that have the knowledge to answer all of your questions.

Never keep stock: Since the entire ACS range is custom (outside of the universal products), you never keep stock. Only pay for the product once you’ve already made the sale, ensuring you’re always profitable. 

Referred customers and traffic: Be featured on our website, emails and social media posts as an official dealer. Customers searching for ACS products in your area will choose your business instead of travelling somewhere else.

NIHL is a serious and growing concern, which makes hearing protection vital. Audiology clinics are well-positioned to offer and advise on hearing protection, which is the natural next step to expanding your business. There is a good chance your customers are currently looking for earplugs and going elsewhere, or need earplugs and aren’t aware of it yet. If you aren’t offering hearing protection, you’re leaving money on the table and not providing your customers with the highest level of care.
