Highland Hears is incredibly proud to be the only official Cosmic Ears partner in the Highlands.
Cosmic Ears are the leading manufacturer of professional custom in-ear monitors (IEMs) and hearing protection for musicians, audiophiles, sound engineers and more.
They are a British company and pride themselves on manufacturing all their IEMs from start to finish in the UK. With an incredible array of home grown and intentional clients like Sophie Ellis-Bextor (who uses their C6R model), KSI, Rudimental and more, you can be assured that your Cosmic IEM's are of the highest standard.
It is important to note that for any custom Cosmic IEM you will need ear impressions from an approved Impression service.
Highland Hears are the only approved Cosmic Ears partner in the Highlands.
Exposure to high-volume stage monitoring can damage the delicate structures of your inner ear, leading to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and tinnitus. For musicians and engineers, the louder the stage environment, the quicker this damage can occur.
Cosmic Ears custom moulded in ear monitors are expertly designed to prevent these issues, providing a massive 26dB of ambient noise reduction. This allows you to hear your monitor mix with crystal clarity at much safer volume levels, reducing ear fatigue and protecting your long-term hearing health.
Each pair is precision-crafted from clinical-grade materials for maximum comfort and a secure fit that won't move while you perform.
Using proprietary ModTec drivers and SAMS (Solid Acoustic Mass Shell) technology, they deliver a high-fidelity audio experience tailored specifically to your role on stage.
- ✅ Superior isolation reduces stage noise by up to 26dB.
- ✅ Perfect custom fit ensures they stay secure during active performances.
- ✅ Professional driver setups tailored for vocalists, drummers, and engineers.
- ✅ Reduces listening fatigue and protects against permanent tinnitus.
- ✅ 3D printed shells for ultimate precision and digital record-keeping.
- ✅ Handmade in the UK with high-quality, replaceable cables.
