Hearing Protection
We have a selection of products and expert advice to protect your hearing on the job or while at play.
Protect your ears at work and play
If you're working in a noisy environment—whether you're a farmer, builder, carpenter, or any other job with loud machinery—your hearing is at risk. Unfortunately, you can’t always control the noise around you, but you can protect your ears! Here’s how to make sure your hearing stays safe.
Your hearing protection options
There are three main types of hearing protection:
- Ear plugs
- Semi-insertion ear plugs
- Earmuffs
There’s a whole range of options within each type, from simple, disposable ear plugs to custom-fit options that can be used over and over. Same goes for earmuffs—some just block sound, while others even let you listen to music or have ventilation to keep you cool! The key is to choose the one that works for you and actually wear it.
Pro tip: Comfort, fit, hygiene, and even the setting you work in all play a role in picking the right protection. What works in a factory might not be right for a different job. If you're unsure, it’s always a good idea to get advice from an expert who knows all the options.
Don’t forget about fun—protect your ears during leisure time
You don’t have to be working to risk your hearing. If you love loud music at concerts or you’re doing some DIY at home with noisy tools like saws, sanders, or hammers, you still need to protect your ears. Trust us, you’ll want to be able to enjoy the simple things later on, like hearing birds sing or your grandchild’s laughter. A little effort now goes a long way!
Musicians need protection too
It’s common to see people at concerts wearing ear protection—but it’s not just the audience that needs it. Musicians are catching on too! Whether you're playing an instrument or standing close to loudspeakers, hearing protection can help preserve your hearing without messing with the sound you love. High-fidelity earplugs are designed to keep the music clear, so you can still hear all the details while protecting your ears.
