  • About Hearing Protection

    If you work in the construction industry, you will need to use personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure you do not damage your hearing. Unfortunately, the risk of hearing damage due to excessive noise exposure is not just limited to those in the construction industry.

    Many manufacturing, maintenance, and transportation roles can expose workers to prolonged periods of excessive sound, from mining and quarrying to airport and marine roles - and even working at noisy sporting or music events.

    For those working in these environments, our range of hearing protectors can help you take care of everyone’s hearing. This reduces the possibility of irreversible damage and the likelihood of needing hearing aids in the future.  

    We stock a wide array of hearing protection devices for over-ear or in-ear use, so you can choose according to requirements and preferences. The collection includes various ear defenders (both passive and those with active listening and built-in comms) as well as disposable and reusable ear plugs and a range of accessories.

    What level of noise requires hearing protection?

    Due to the nature of hearing damage, you can’t simply mandate hearing protection for any environment louder than a specific number of decibels. Hearing damage can be cumulative, and even a relatively quiet environment can damage your hearing if you’re exposed to it over a long period of time.

    Similarly, a quiet environment with the possibility of a sudden and abrupt loud noise like an explosion or steel sheeting being stamped would require hearing protection. The HSE website has excellent resources for calculating noise exposure.

    What SNR rating do I need?

    SNR (Single Number Rating) measures the effectiveness of hearing protection in decibels (dB) across all frequencies. The aim of wearing hearing protection is to reduce the noise levels you’re exposed to down to at least 85dB.

    However, it is possible to over-protect - if your hearing protection reduces noise levels to below 70dB, the wearer won’t hear hazards such as reversing beepers. Find information about calculating the appropriate SNR rating on the HSE website.
