Hi everyone. It's been many many years since I've posted but I'm still alive and still enjoying music with headphones and whatnot. So here is my problem. A few years ago I started a new project at work that had me inside a large laboratory that housed a lot of people and equipment. This machinery was and is LOUD. So I've found out I have a weird quirk where under constant bombardment of sound and people interaction, my brain sort of goes NOPE and it's impossible to do work. I've tried to use regular ear plugs and they help a little, but it's still difficult to maintain a steady work output without music (I use it to keep cadence). The reason I can't use sound cancelling headphones is because...microphone, transmitter, area where a microphone is a big no no. Never leads to good things.
So what I'm looking for is an IEM (preferably custom to reduce ear fatigue). I'm aware of Unique Melody's offerings however it's been so long since I've been involved with the audio community I've sort of lost touch with the providers of the custom IEM service.
This is where things get interesting. Is anyone aware if it's possible to have custom IEM's be covered by insurance? If anyone has ever attempted this I'd love to hear how your experience went. I ask because my doctor wasn't sure and wanted to know if I knew anyone who had.
Thank you again for all your help and I look forward to any suggestions you might have
