Client Spotlight: Custom ear impressions for Irish folk band Beoga

When legendary Irish folk band Beoga (known for their flare and creativity as well as their collaboration with Ed Sheeran on "Galway Girl") needed precision in-ear monitors (IEMs) for their tour, they trusted The Hear Now Clinic for their custom ear impressions.

Beoga chose Jerry Harvey Audio (JH Audio) In-Ear Monitors. JH Audio is widely considered the industry standard for touring professionals, requiring deep, accurate ear impressions to ensure a perfect seal and bass response. Along with Ultimate Ears and local manufacturer Lugs, they are among the best IEM manufacturers around.

We provided audiologist-grade 3D silicone impressions, ensuring their JH Audio monitors fit perfectly for high-energy performances.
