Our professional custom work earplugs are essential for many occupations. Because work earplugs are custom-made for everyone, you will have the best possible hearing protection at work.

Work earplugs

Loud ambient noise has a very damaging effect on your hearing. Especially if you have to deal with it for a long time or on a regular basis. For example, when you work in a company where your ears are exposed to high noise levels day in and day out.

Wearing work earplugs ensures that ambient noise is reduced to an acceptable level. And with the right work earplugs, which offer the best protection due to their unique features such as a ceramic filter and perfect fit, good communication with co-workers is of course still possible as usual.

In addition, these earplugs offer medium sound attenuation with an SNR value of 23 decibels, meaning that harmful noise is effectively attenuated without affecting sound quality.

Hearing protection at work

Working in a noisy environment requires good precautions regarding your ears to avoid dangerous noise. Otherwise, you are likely to suffer permanent hearing damage. This can manifest as deafness or persistent beeping or humming sounds. This is also known as tinnitus. So to avoid hearing damage, earplugs are indispensable during your work.

Earplugs for work are necessary in all industries where workers are exposed to loud noises. Almost always, the high noise levels are caused by machinery, tools and equipment. Since these are necessary to perform the work, there is no other option but to wear hearing protection while working to be well protected.

Hearing damage and hearing impairment caused by noise are among the most common occupational diseases in the world. Earplugs at work are necessary for workers in the:

Agricultural sector
Construction
Industry
Aviation
Maritime sector
Production
Food Industry
Office Garden
Cities and towns
Technical service

Customized hearing protection at work

There are different types of earplugs, but far from all of them are suitable as work earplugs for professional purposes. Universal earplugs are not suitable for wearing at work. These earplugs do not adequately protect hearing from loud noises. It is therefore recommended while working with harmful sounds to wear custom-made earplugs for a natural sound.

Andere oordoppen die niet op maat zijn gemaakt, sluiten de gehoorgang niet geheel af en bieden daardoor geen optimale bescherming. Een schadelijk geluid kan daardoor alsnog je gehoor beschadigen en dat wil je het liefst voorkomen. Geen enkel oor is hetzelfde en daarom is oordoppen op maat de beste vorm van gehoorbescherming op het werk. Vooral de diameter en diepte van de gehoorgang zijn bij elk mens verschillend.

Also, the material from which universal earplugs are made has only limited attenuation properties. So to give your ears the protection they deserve, it is best to have work earplugs custom-made. These are not only completely customized to your ear canal, but can also be fitted with a filter with the appropriate decibel attenuation. Earplugs that use synthetic rubber offer extra comfort and are hypoallergenic, which is ideal for long-term use.

Protecting hearing from harmful sounds

Noise-related deafness and hearing damage are irreversible and healing is not possible. When deafness is in a not too advanced stage, a hearing aid may offer a solution. But this solution is properly considered more a form of symptom relief. So when it comes to hearing damage, it is fair to say that prevention is better than cure. Shush hearing protection provides effective protection against harmful noise without degrading the sound quality of music and speech, and is certified to European standards.

Therefore, when you have to deal with equipment or machines that produce a lot of noise at work, you would do well to always wear worker earplugs. A noise level of 80 dB results in hearing damage after only eight hours. This level is comparable to the noise produced by a drilling machine at a distance of one and a half meters.

With every three decibels added, the noise level doubles and the time in which hearing problems can occur halves. So at a continuous ambient noise level of 83 dB, that's only four hours.

Occupational Health and Safety Act

Employers must provide their employees with work earplugs under certain circumstances. The Occupational Health and Safety Act states that this is mandatory when the work takes place at a noise level of 80 dB and that the earplugs must not contain hazardous substances.

It is also important to keep earplugs clean and dry in an aluminum storage case for proper ear hygiene.

If the ambient noise is 85 dB or more, it is mandatory for an employee to wear proper hearing protection. You may decide whether those are ear muffs, universal work earplugs or custom-made work earplugs. Your employer is required to make these available.

What customers say about us

Frequently asked questions about professional earplugs

How are custom-made earplugs measured & produced ?

Watch the video below:

At what noise levels does the Occupational Health and Safety Act prescribe earplugs?

For noise levels that exceed 80 dB daily, the Occupational Health and Safety Act requires the employer to provide hearing protection. Employees are not yet required to wear these earplugs.

Does the noise level exceed 83 dB? Then employees are only allowed to work 4 hours without hearing protection. For the remaining 4 hours of the workday, high noise levels are not allowed. Employees are required to wear hearing protection if the noise level exceeds 85 dB daily.

How do you measure noise levels?

You determine the sound level in a room with a decibel meter. The result is a sound level in decibels (dB).

How can you prevent hearing damage in workers?

The most important way to prevent hearing damage in employees is to encourage them to wear custom hearing protection. It is also advisable to keep noise levels as low as possible. In construction, industry, workshops and printing companies, this can be done by investing in quiet machines. In the nightlife and music industries, this is more difficult.

For all work in loud environments, it's best to minimize the time employees spend there. Of course, that too is difficult in some situations. But should there be work areas with loud and slightly less loud noise, see if employees can rotate.

Do you also come by to measure hearing protection

Yes indeed, we visit companies throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. If it is not possible to do within the company we can also come with our appointment bus.
