• What is a decibel, and how loud is too loud?

  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.

• Your guide to hearing protection certification in Australia and NZ.

  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.

• Why buy ear plugs in bulk?

  Bulk Ear Plugs

  Buying ear plugs in bulk is a smart, cost-effective option for workplaces, event organisers, regular travellers, and individuals who use them daily. Whether you’re protecting a work crew on-site, stocking a quiet zone at a festival, or simply using a fresh pair every night for sleep, bulk packs ensure you never run out — and save you money in the long run.

  They’re also great from a hygiene standpoint. Foam and soft silicone plugs are typically single-use or short-term wear, so having a larger supply encourages regular replacement and better ear health. At Earjobs, we offer bulk options in various quantities — from 10 to 500+ pairs — across top-rated brands.
