What is the best hearing protection for my workforce?

Firstly as with all PPE supplies, a risk assessment should be undertaken before any decision is made.

3 key considerations for choosing ear protection;

1. Identify noise levels – know how much noise reduction you need. It might sound obvious, but the first consideration in choosing a hearing protector is whether it will block enough noise to reduce exposure to a safe level.
2. Activity – think about your worksite and job tasks and how this will impact the user.
3. Suitability – without compromising safety, decide what is the most comfortable and convenient option for protection.

If you are unsure on what the difference is between ear muffs and ear plugs and are worried you might buy the wrong PPE supplies then fear not, we have put together a short guide to help you choose.

What is the difference between ear muffs/defenders and ear plugs (updated 2021)?

Firstly, the most obvious difference is the size of the two items. Ear plugs are much smaller and easier to carry than ear muffs, they are very light and easy to carry. Furthermore, some come with specially designed cases which easily fit into a pocket. On the other hand, ear muffs are bigger and more difficult to carry, making them more cumbersome for workers.

Ear Muffs

Secondly, and most importantly, the main difference between ear plugs and ear muffs is the level of protection they provide. As ear plugs fit directly into the ear canal they are able to offer greater protection than ear muffs provide.

Ear plugs are used in a variety of situations, for instance in very loud workplaces such as factories, airports and foundries. Additionally, they can also protect worker’s ears from the intrusion of water, foreign bodies, dust or excessive wind, which is a useful benefit for some professions.

One final point, ear plugs are often chosen in areas with warmer climates as ear defenders can become uncomfortable in hot weather.  This therefore makes the ear plug a more suitable ear protection solution when heat is a factor.

Ear plugs vs. ear muffs – comparison table

In conclusion, ear plugs are a great choice for anyone who wears a helmet, safety glasses or works in conditions that need a lightweight approach with maximum protection.

Ear protection for hobbies:

*Just how noisy is a shoot day?

Most 12-bore gunshots produce a sound of around 150 to 160 decibels (db), while a .30-06 rifle with a 24in barrel produces around the same. Consistent exposure to sounds of more than 95db is bad, and noises of more than 120db can cause permanent damage to your hearing in seconds. Our ear defenders can be used for shooting, with various SNRs available for most types of day out fun.

Top tip: Every hearing protection product will come with an SNR, and this allows you to compare the protection offered by different products in order for you to make the best decision. The higher the SNR level, the more protection the product gives.
