Why do I need ear protection?
The best way to protect your hearing is to avoid loud noise. But we understand that this isn’t so easy, especially if you work in noisy environments like construction sites and factories. Your employer should make sure that you have the proper protection to work safely.
But more and more young people are being affected by hearing loss. Listening to personal music devices, going to concerts, festivals and clubs all make a big difference to your hearing. Try to avoid standing too close to speakers and use reusable earplugs the next time you’re at a gig.
Ear protection
Our specialised hearing protection products are designed to protect your ears, but will also allow you to hear important sounds, like voices, clearly. They range from instant fit products for occasional leisure and DIY use, to custom fit devices aimed at providing protection at work or in more specialised environments
Hearing damage can start at around 85 decibels (dB) when you’re exposed to it for 8 hours or more without hearing protection. After that, for every noise increase of 3 dB the exposure time cuts in half. For example, you can only be exposed to 88 dB sounds levels safely for 4 hours, 91 dB for only 2 hours, and so on.
Custom ear protection for motorcyclists
Wind and engine noise are a constant problem for motorcyclists, and can seriously damage your hearing. Our custom hearing protection is guaranteed to combat the irreversible damage that could be caused by the sound levels while riding a motorbike. They are designed to fit comfortably without restricting your helmet.
Custom ear protection for swimmers
Effective blocking from water, these earplugs fit deep into the ear canal and cover the bowl of the ear. This protection prevents water from entering the ear canal causing infections. The silicone used does not shrink or harden and options are available which allow them to float.
Custom ear protection for musicians and nightclubs
Comfortably protect your ears without spoiling your enjoyment of the music. And, if you’re working with customers, you will still hear clearly what they’re saying over the high levels of sound. Musicians’ earplugs reduce ambient noise, so the fidelity of the original music is preserved with no loss of clarity.
Custom ear protection for shooters
Originally designed for military use, these custom earplugs incorporate state-of-the-art passive impact noise filter, for the best protection for shooting or other pastimes where noise can suddenly be instantaneous. They also allow instructions, conversations and alerts to be heard.
Custom ear protection for DIY
DIYers are at risk when drilling, grinding, sanding or using any other power tools during home maintenance or vehicle repairs as constant levels of noise above 85dB can damage your hearing. These custom fit earplugs are both comfortable and offer peace of mind that your job or hobby is not affecting your hearing.
