100/10 - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!Vancouver Custom Ear Plugs are a game changer. I WAS the worse type of sleeper, could never get a full nights sleep but now, I'm sleeping better than i ever did. I do not hear a thing anymore with these ear plugs and I'm annoyed at myself for not getting them sooner! Great service and fantastic product!

Here’s a polished glowing review you can use for custom ear plugs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend! I couldn’t be happier with my custom ear plugs. The fit is absolutely perfect — comfortable enough to wear for long periods without any irritation or pressure. The sound reduction is incredible; they block out unwanted noise while still allowing me to hear what I need to when appropriate. The quality and craftsmanship are top-notch, and it’s obvious care went into making them specifically for my ears. They are worth every penny for the comfort, effectiveness, and overall quality.

I live in Miami but fortunately VCEP came up in my Google search for custom earplugs -- my sleep plugs were well worth it and fit great! Also very communicative and updated me on the manufacturing process.

I highly recommend Jamie and the team at Vancouver Custom Ear Plugs. These are by far the best ear plugs I've ever had, and their service is unmatchable. Worth every penny:)

I had previously been fit with earplugs from a different business, and despite my high hopes, they just never quite fit properly and the business wasn't responsive to trying to fix the problem. Deciding that I needed to try somewhere else, I contacted VCEP. I was booked in for an appointment with Jamie the next week and less than two weeks later I received my two-sets of customs ear plugs (intended for motorcycle riding). The fit was perfect, and the work great. After telling Jamie about my less than satisfactory first try at the other business, he reassured me that if I had any problems with the fit of the VCEP plugs then they would make it right. They fit great right away so I didn't need to follow up, but I'm completely confident that they would make any adjustments if I needed them. I just wished I had gone to Jamie the first time and not had months of bad fit and questioning whether the ear defenders were even worth it. The VCEP ones certainly are. Highly recommended.

Jamie and Erin went above and beyond in making sure I was 100% satisfied with my custom 'Drifter' earplugs. I rely on these every night for blocking out my husband's snoring, and they've made a considerable difference in my sleep quality over the past 4 months. Initially I had custom plugs made at a Hearing Aid Clinic, however these caused a discomfort in my ear canals to the point where I couldn't wear them anymore. I think it's the material they use, it's not as soft as the Drifter plugs. I honestly wish I had just gone to see Jamie first - could've save a lot of trouble. What I really appreciate about Jamie and Erin's service is that if you do need an adjustment, they will continue working with you until the plugs work perfectly with your ear. After a few weeks I noticed a small discomfort forming inside my right ear, and when I contacted Erin she didn't hesitate to book me in for an adjustment. They wanted to make sure I was happy - and in the end, I am truly satisfied and grateful I could find something that worked for my sensitive ears. Thank you both so much !

Got my earplugs here last year, they’ve been great. I DJ so I’m around loud music constantly. When I’m wearing my custom earplugs, the filter is so good it still makes me feel very present and immersed in the music. Love the feeling of knowing I’m saving my hearing one beat at a time!

After becoming extremely sensitive to sound following a traffic accident, I found it difficult to sleep deeply due to even the slightest noise. I tried various sleep earplugs available on the market, but none of them fit my ears properly and kept falling out. After searching for a long time, I found VCEP Custom Sleep Earplugs. They maintained their shape until I woke up, so they didn't hurt and didn't fall out, effectively blocking out noise. This product became my top priority for improving my quality of life.
I cannot recommend this place enough. I would give them more stars if they were available. Sharing my experience below (be forewarned, it is a long read), but the summary is that this was one of the best customer service experiences of my life and the product itself is quite literally life changing for me. ======================= My experience: For context, I'm someone who is very easily overwhelmed by sound which is disruptive to my everyday life and causes a high baseline level of anxiety (humming and beeping appliances are my nemeses). I've attempted multiple different solutions to curb this issue: - foam earplugs: painful after a few hours, must be replaced every day or if it gets wet, wasteful, and expensive per use - reusable earplugs: not as effective, also painful after a few hours, strangely irresistible to my dog who hunted down and destroyed two successive pairs in their protective casings, expensive for how unimpressively they work and how tasty my dog finds them - noise cancelling headphones: must have something playing to cancel out noise effectively which nullifies their usefulness when I want quiet and can't comfortably be worn to sleep I finally decided to bite the bullet and shell out the money for what I hoped would be a more permanent solution to my problem, which proved to be the correct decision. This rivals getting Lasik as one of the best decisions I've made for my well-being. I had an in-person consultation with Jamie, who was wonderful throughout this entire experience. The consultation itself included getting a cast done of my ear canal and discussing my options. I chose the Drifters, as they have their highest level of noise reduction (on par with their other filter-free/solid models), are a softer silicone (comfortable for sleeping and daily wear), and have a low profile (making them, again, great for sleeping but also very discrete for daily wear if that's important to you). I made the order and was told the finished product would arrive in 2 weeks. The 2 weeks passed and I got a call from Jamie that they could be picked up at the store (already a very nice thing to do, as they would otherwise take longer to then be shipped to my home and he thought [correctly] that I might want to pick them up sooner since I'm local). After I wore the earplugs for a few days, I noticed that they didn't fit quite as snuggly as I expected them to, and that they hurt my ears if I wore them long enough. Unsure if this was an issue with the earplugs or simply user error, I contacted the store. They were extremely helpful, gave me some tips, and told me to contact them right back if the problem was still occurring. This is where they really went above and beyond. The problem did continue to occur, but I did not contact them back for a few more weeks because of work and general burnout. I finally managed to reach out to Jamie, who let me know that, though I hadn't gotten back to him, he'd followed up on my file anyway to see if he could spot any issues and ended up noticing that the photo of the order didn't look exactly like the photo of the cast he'd taken. It turns out that the supplier had accidentally sent me the wrong order. He had them remake my order and send it to me. He told me all this when I called, and that, since he'd placed that replacement order about 2 weeks ago, it should be getting to me soon. Serendipitously, it arrived within 2 hours of that call. Now, for the earplugs themselves: - They fit me perfectly and so are extremely comfortable. I wear them near constantly and often forget I have them in. - While they mute sound, unlike foam earplugs, what does come through is not muffled. For me, this is wonderful because it means I can still hear important things like overhead airport announcements, sirens when driving, or my violin as I practice. - Bonus: They are easy to clean and my dog has shown no interest in them. I am extremely happy with my purchase. Thank you to Jamie and the rest of the team for helping to make the world a more accessible place.

This is the best place to get your earplugs! These earplugs (getting my fourth pair), saved my life, no exaggeration ! I am such a light sleeper, and been suffering from migraines too, Jamie and his team helped me and my family with a few earplugs over the years! I am buying more just to have a pair in car and for traveling and all, the quality is fantastic!!! These small pretty pink earplugs have changed my life for better, no need for sleeping pills and no headaches! Genuinely thank you! Highly recommend!!!

I bought a pair of Drifters so I could sleep thru the noise of the 'any night of the week' tequila fueled parties and the howling of wild dogs in my new life in the suburbs of Puerto Vallarta. Work GREAT!

I wish I’d gotten the drifters ones for sleep sooner. I waited because I felt like the non-custom earplugs, like from brands like loop, worked pretty great for me compared to most people - I didn’t believe it could get better than that. Holy moly these are so comfortable and effective! I’m thrilled! The whole process was fantastic, I wish my family in Alberta had access to this same clinic because my experience here getting custom earplugs was way better than what they had access to out there.

One of the best purchases I have ever made! Wore the Concertos with 20 dB filters to a music festival. Sound quality was excellent, and filter strength was perfect for all day wear. I expected sound quality to be better than Loops, but was very excited at just how much better it was! They were also comfortable enough to wear to sleep while the music was still going.
This company saved my life (almost) as I lost my pair of ER25db filters, and I needed them very quicly. They were able to ship me a pair of filters across the country in only two days. Many thanks again, very fast service !!!

I got the Drifter side sleeping earplugs from Vancouver Custom Earplugs after years of relying on foam earplugs at night. As a side sleeper, I always struggled to find something that was comfortable enough to wear all night but still blocked enough noise to keep me from being disrupted. These have been a huge upgrade. They are easily the most comfortable earplugs I’ve slept with, they stay in place through the night, and I’m sleeping much more peacefully now. The team was also really helpful in making sure the plugs were the perfect fit, which made the whole experience even better. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable, long-term solution for a quieter night’s rest, especially side sleepers.
I could never use generic ear plugs due to ear pain within minutes of inserting them. Finally decided to get custom ones when I started motorcycle training. Had them for a couple months now, I do 13hr riding days where I wear them the entire time, and I haven't had a single time where it hurt or was uncomfortable. The service from Jamie is also next level, fantastic experience all around!
I go to a lot of music festivals and shows and finally decided to upgrade to custom earplugs. Wish I did this way sooner!! The difference compared to the ones I was using before is insane. The process was quick and simple, and now I have ear protection that fits properly and still allows me to hear the music. If you’re on the fence about getting customs, just do it!

I purchased the drifter earplugs from Jamie and they are incredible! I’ve tried everything, foam earplugs, ozlo sleep buds, white noise machines, and these beat them all! They’re so comfortable to sleep in, and they block out the skytrain noise like nothing else. Jamie is wonderful, he was so patient and gentle during my initial appointment. If you’re considering booking with Vancouver Custom Earplugs do it!

The audiologist was incredibly informative and thorough during my assessment; it was a pleasant consultation experience. I received my custom 'Drifter' earplugs a few weeks later. They are very comfortable to sleep in, and the seal provides excellent noise reduction. They have been a game-changer for helping me sleep through the night. Thank you!

Performance Options

Protectors
Solid protection

Protector custom molded earplugs for work no filter

Solid silicone Protectors maintain continuous maximum hearing protection (approx. 26-30 dB).

Protectors Pro
Filtered for Speech

Protector Pro custom molded earplugs for work with filter

Made of the same high quality, comfortable silicone, our Protectors Pro series are designed specifically for industrial applications. They employ an acoustic filter which protects you from intense high frequency noise while allowing for clearer communication.

Read More About Filters

Different work environments have different sound levels. In some situations, it’s safer to allow for better communication and work area awareness while still protecting your hearing to the appropriate level. Unlike standard industrial earplugs that can overly dampen sound, our filters avoid muffling speech and sounds.

Industrial noises tend to be louder at higher frequencies. Our DI filters are designed to evenly minimize low-frequency noise—aiding in clear communication—and progressively increase noise reduction at around 4kHz to protect against harmful high-frequency sounds.

The DI Filter ensures a continuous airflow into your ear. This ventilation feature minimizes the sensation of sound being trapped or ‘occluded’, reducing irritation within the ear canal and enhancing your comfort.

We also offer filters with the option of being metal detectable and X-ray visible, an ideal feature for environments like food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing where foreign object contamination cannot be tolerated.

As an electrician, wearing Protectors earplugs has been a game-changer for me. They’re way more comfortable and provide better noise-blocking compared to the foam ones they have on site.
