Hearing Protection

Often times construction sites, warehouses, and industrial work places can be very loud. Safeguard your hearing to prevent hearing loss with our selection of earplugs. We have a wide variety from basic disposable polyurethane earplugs to electronic ear muffs that suppress dangerous impulse noises common to industrial settings while amplifying surrounding voices, important signals and warnings to help ensure you remain alert since you will experience limited audio indicators.

Corded earplugs are handy because they are connected so you are less likely to lose one. Disposable earplugs can be convenient if you only need earplugs occasionally or for short periods of time. External ear protection usually features soft foam ear cups that are connected by a headband and gently fit over your head. Cap-mounted ear protection is designed to work with hard hats that feature universal accessory slots and attach to your helmet, so you can protect your hearing without compromising the safety qualities of the hard hat. External ear protection is typically more effective in extremely loud environments. Many forms of ear protection are also rated as to the level of hearing protection they provide. This is measured by the NRR (Noise Reduction Rating). The value is given in decibels (dB) and the higher the number the better the device is at blocking out noise.

Make sure to consider what type of environment you work in when looking for hearing protection. What is the noise level? How long will you be wearing the protection? Are disposable ear plugs enough or do you need a heavy-duty device? Making sure you have the right protection can mean all the difference.
