The best hearing protectors for work
Hearing protectors are devices designed to protect the ear from excessive noise levels that can occur in the workplace. These noise levels can damage hearing over the long term and may have negative effects on the health and overall well-being of workers.
Hearing protectors are especially important for workers exposed to dangerous noise levels in the workplace such as in construction, automation, food, and chemical industries…
Some features to consider when choosing hearing protectors include the type of noise the worker will be exposed to, comfort, fit, durability, and ease of use. It is also important to ensure that hearing protectors meet the appropriate safety and hearing protection standards for the workplace.
Hearing protection equipment for work: Earmuffs and earplugs
The most common options to protect ears at work are earmuffs (also known as headsets) and earplugs. They are used for protection from harmful or damaging noise in work environments where the noise level is high or very high.
Earplugs for noisy work environments
Firstly, there are earplugs, made from flexible material that molds to the ear. We offer two types of earplugs: disposable and reusable, which can be reused if washed and stored correctly. To support this maintenance, we provide work earplugs with an included case for storage after use.
To prevent earplugs from falling to the ground or getting lost, we have available models of earplugs with cord and band, which help keep them secure if they slip out. You will also find boxes of 500 pairs of earplugs for distribution among workers at specific times or for visitors.
Earmuffs: protection against intermittent noise
Secondly, we offer another noise protection method, earmuffs. They are more common in work environments where people need intermittent protection. Generally, they are more comfortable than earplugs and can be easily removed after using a particular machine.
We offer a wide range of UVEX hearing protectors designed to provide noise protection from moderate to high levels. Here, you will find earmuffs with built-in helmets, foldable models, special forestry earmuffs, cup hearing protectors, and even earmuffs with cables that allow the operator to connect to ambient music, radio, or receive instructions from colleagues.
