Product details

Application

When exposed to noise levels that are close to or over the occupational exposure limits (OEL) for noise, people should wear hearing protection. This occupational exposure limit for most countries is 85 decibels (A-weighted), or dBA.

Safety ear plugs are devices designed to protect the ears from harmful noise levels and prevent hearing damage. They are commonly used in noisy environments such as construction sites, factories, and airports, where exposure to loud noise can cause long-term hearing loss.

Safety ear plugs are made of soft, pliable materials that conform to the shape of the ear canal to provide a comfortable and secure fit. They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials to suit various ear sizes and preferences. Some common materials used in safety earplugs include foam, silicone, and wax.

Several types of safety earplugs are available on the market, including disposable foam plugs, reusable silicone plugs, and custom-fit plugs made from impressions of the wearer's ear canal. Some earplugs also have additional features, such as built-in filters that allow better communication while blocking harmful noise.

It is essential to select the correct type of ear plug for the specific environment and noise level and insert and wear the ear properly to ensure maximum protection. Regular use of safety earplugs can help prevent noise-induced hearing loss and improve overall ear health.
