Which Ear Plugs are right for me?

What is a decibel.

A decibel (dB) is a unit used to measure the intensity of sound. It’s not a linear scale — every increase of 10 dB means the sound is 10 times more powerful. That means a 90 dB sound isn’t just a bit louder than 80 dB — it’s twice as loud. Everyday sounds like normal conversation sit around 60 dB, but lawnmowers (90 dB), concerts (100–110 dB), and construction sites (over 120 dB) can be dangerously loud.
Hearing damage can occur after prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 dB, and the higher the volume, the shorter the safe exposure time. That’s why hearing protection — especially in workplaces or loud recreational settings — is so important. The right ear plugs reduce the sound level to within a safe range, helping you protect your hearing long term.
Why use ear plugs?

Ear plugs are a simple, effective way to protect your ears from loud noise or unwanted sound. Whether you're trying to sleep, concentrate, travel in peace, or protect your hearing in loud environments, the right ear plugs can make a huge difference to your comfort and wellbeing.
They're lightweight, discreet, and easy to carry — perfect for use at home, at work, on the plane, or at a concert. With options for sleep, swimming, music, travel, and work, there’s a pair of ear plugs for just about every situation.

Hearing Protection in Australia & NZ

In Australia and New Zealand, hearing protection must comply with the AS/NZS 1270:2002 standard. This certification ensures that ear plugs and earmuffs have been independently tested and rated for their effectiveness in reducing noise. It’s a crucial requirement for workplace safety and helps consumers make informed choices about what level of protection they need.
One key part of this standard is the SLC80 rating — which tells you how many decibels of noise the product will block out for 80% of wearers. Based on this number, products are also grouped into Class 1 to Class 5, with Class 5 offering the highest level of protection. This makes it easy to match ear plugs to specific environments, whether it’s a quiet workshop or a high-noise construction site.
At Earjobs, we stock a wide range of certified hearing protection products — so whether you’re buying for yourself or your team, you can be confident they meet strict local standards.

What are the best ear plugs for sleeping?

For sleep, we recommend soft foam or silicone ear plugs that offer all-night comfort while effectively blocking out snoring and ambient noise. Brands like Macks and Earjobs™ Silicone Putty are popular for their comfortable fit and reliable noise reduction.

Are your ear plugs certified for workplace hearing protection?

Yes. Many of the industrial ear plugs we stock are certified to AS/NZS 1270, the Australian and New Zealand safety standard for hearing protection. These are ideal for noisy workplaces like construction sites, workshops, and warehouses.

What’s the difference between foam and silicone ear plugs?

Foam ear plugs expand in the ear canal for a snug, noise-blocking seal—great for one-time or short-term use. Silicone ear plugs are often reusable and mouldable, offering a gentler fit ideal for sleeping, swimming, or travel.

Do you sell reusable ear plugs?

Yes. We offer a variety of reusable ear plugs suitable for music, travel, work, and everyday use. These ear plugs are designed for long-term wear, often come with travel cases, and provide excellent value over time.

Can I buy ear plugs in bulk?

Definitely. We stock a wide range of bulk ear plugs—including dispenser-compatible foam plugs and individually wrapped options—for workplaces, event venues, and health & safety teams.

What are the best ear plugs for musicians or concerts?

For live music, we recommend high-fidelity ear plugs from brands like Etymotic or Alpine, which lower the volume without distorting sound. These are perfect for musicians, sound engineers, and concert-goers.
