We've heard you. Parents, teachers, and caregivers have reached out to us, asking for a custom-fit solution for the most sensitive ears in the world: those of our children.
Children's ears are constantly growing, and the process of getting a traditional ear impression can be challenging for both the child and the parent. More importantly, children often have unique needs, from protecting their hearing at loud events to managing the daily sensory overload of a busy classroom.
Introducing our innovative product: Snugsies, custom-fit hearing protection designed specifically for children, utilising our at-home AI-powered fitting system.
The Challenge: Protection and Comfort for Growing Ears
Finding reliable hearing protection for children is a delicate balance. Generic foam plugs are often uncomfortable, can fall out easily, and may not provide a consistent seal. This is especially true for children who:
•Need sensory relief in loud or busy environments (school, shopping centres, public transport).
•Require consistent protection for hobbies like music lessons, sports, or fireworks displays.
•Struggle with focus due to distracting background noise.
The other alternative is over-ear headphones. The downside of these is they make your child stand-out/look different from their classmates, as well as becoming heavy and uncomfortable to wear for prolonged periods.
Enter Snugsies, made from soft silicone and fitted to the shape of your child's ears.
As the traditional custom-fit process requires a visit to an audiologist, which can be a stressful experience for a child with audio-sensitivities. We knew we had to find a better way.
The Snugsies Revolution: AI-Powered At-Home Fitting
Snugsies is more than just a smaller earplug; it’s a complete reimagining of the custom-fit process. We've taken our expertise in 3D scanning and engineering and combined it with cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence to bring the fitting process directly into your home.
How the At-Home Fitting System Works:
1. Place your order: Once you have ordered a pair of Snugsies, we will post you a custom-fit pack and a 6-digit code to access our fitting app
2. Snap & Upload: Parents simply take a picture of their child's ears using their smartphone, following our easy, step-by-step app guide.
3.AI-Powered Scan: Our proprietary AI technology analyses these images, accurately mapping the unique shape of the child's ear, and matches it to our database to create a digital 3D ear impression - but without the stress of a clinical visit.
4.3D Print & Deliver: We use this AI-generated 3D file to print the Snugsies using our soft, medical-grade silicone, perfectly sized for your child's ear.
This technology eliminates the need for an in-person appointment, making the process stress-free, quick, and accessible for every family.
Snugsies: A Custom-Fit for Every Need
Snugsies are made from a soft, hypoallergenic, medical-grade silicone, ensuring maximum comfort for all-day wear. They are designed to sit flush in the ear, making them comfortable for wearing under hats and helmets.
