You wear construction earplugs to prevent hearing damage. In construction, the risk of hearing damage is high. Damaged hearing is one of the most common occupational diseases in this sector. In fact, it regularly happens that the noise produced exceeds the sound limit of 80 decibels. In this case, we speak of a harmful sound. This is the limit at which hearing damage can be sustained with regular and prolonged exposure to it.

With custom-made earplugs, you significantly reduce the risk of hearing damage, deafness and tinnitus. In addition, reusable hearing protectors are cheaper in the long run than disposable hearing protection. This is still too often used as construction hearing protection. Employers are also required by law to protect their workers from hearing damage during construction work.

As a construction worker, you easily get used to the sounds you hear while working. As a result, you don't always realize that the sounds are too loud and can even cause hearing damage. Damage to your hearing actually always occurs gradually. It is therefore crucial not to wait until you experience symptoms, or suspect that your hearing is deteriorating. By wearing preventive earplugs in construction, you will avoid developing symptoms later.

Construction earplugs are worn not only because you yourself work with power tools, but also because your colleagues nearby handle such a machine. The noise, even at a distance, is still loud enough to damage your hearing. It also makes no difference whether you are a professional or a hobby handyman. In all cases, it is important to use hearing protection.

The purpose of wearing hearing protection construction is to prevent hearing damage. Most of the tools you work with are electrically or pneumatically powered. They produce more than 80 decibels of noise, exceeding the permissible noise limit. Even using certain machines temporarily can affect your hearing. It is therefore necessary to wear earplugs when working with construction tools.

The best construction earplugs are designed so that while your hearing is protected, you are not completely cut off from ambient noise. This is important while performing your work. So you still maintain contact with your colleagues, which contributes to safety while working. You use the earplugs during a specific activity, such as removing tiles on a wall.

You can additionally wear them for longer periods of time to muffle the general, loud ambient noise of the workplace. Construction earplugs are suitable for daily use and you clean them easily with water.

To protect your hearing effectively, wear hearing protection of the best quality. If you choose construction earplugs from Audinc, you are assured of that. Moreover, Audinc makes the hearing protection to measure.

The earplugs have an anti-allergic coating and you have a choice of attenuation and protection levels. These levels range from low, for an attenuation of 13 decibels, to extreme attenuation of 30 decibels. In this way, you are assured of hearing protection that suits your construction work. In all cases, you will still be able to hear your surrounding sounds, from the comments of your colleagues to the warning signals emitted by various tools.

Audinc's earplugs are practical to use. You attach them with a simple movement in your ear, even when wearing gloves. Thanks to the cord, you won't lose the earplugs easily. If you don't use them for a while, you can easily leave them hanging around your neck.

Exposure, sometimes prolonged, to a harmful sound is not only bad for your hearing. It can also be very tiring. That's another reason to choose the best hearing protection from Audinc. All the while, you benefit from the noise reduction and wearing comfort of these earplugs. You can choose between hard or flexible material. Both have an open filter so you can still hear the necessary ambient sounds. Because the sounds are not distorted, you do not have to make an effort to hear the radio or understand your colleague, for example. So you hear these sounds in a natural way, which also makes you less likely to get tired.

The Audinc earplugs are suitable for wearing on construction sites where milling, rolling, drilling and welding tools are used. In addition, you wear them during woodworking, such as carpentry, sanding and sawing. Wearing Audinc earplugs is also recommended during demolition work, landscaping work and in factories with exhaust systems and noisy production lines.

Various types of hearing protection are available for the construction industry. Examples include universal caps, ear muffs and foam ear plugs or silicone ear plugs. The latter two are also called ear plugs. These ear plugs all serve the same purpose: hearing protection. But the disadvantage of these is that they are not custom-made. And that means you still always run the risk that your ear canal is not adequately protected. If you choose otoplastics custom-made earplugs, you do have this certainty.

Do you have a one-time home construction job or do you not exceed the 80-decibel noise limit while working? Then you may want to consider temporary hearing protection. If so, keep the following in mind:

Universal earplugs are not custom-made and seal your ear canal with a type of fins. This also allows you to hear your ambient noise. The same goes for ear muffs. You don't place this hearing protection in your ear, but you put a cap over the auricle. This prevents you from hearing ambient sounds.

These earmuffs are primarily intended for jobs where the noise does not, or sporadically, exceed 80 decibels. Keep in mind that you will therefore not pick up warning signals while wearing them, nor will you be able to understand those around you very well. Because of the covering of your ears, wearing the earmuffs may feel hot.

So compared to the above types of hearing protection, otoplastics hearing protection has a lot of advantages. In addition to having these earplugs custom-made, they attenuate up to and including 30 decibels. They protect your ear canal from work sounds, but don't shut you out from ambient noise.

Moreover, you can have the earplugs customized to your work situation so that they protect you from the noise levels you have to deal with on a daily basis. Meanwhile, you are assured that you will hear warning signals from the machines or important instructions from your colleague in a timely manner.

In addition, we make it easy for employers to have otoplastics fitted to their employees. In fact, we are happy to visit them on site to do so.

We do the same for education, hearing tests, checks and maintenance. Even noise measurements in the workplace are possible, to determine exactly what noise levels work earplugs should protect against.

That way, you can be sure your employees are getting the hearing protection they need.
