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.
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’s the difference between disposable and reusable UVEX ear plugs?

Disposable ear plugs are made from soft foam and designed for single or short-term use, while reusable plugs are made from durable silicone or TPE and can be cleaned and used repeatedly—ideal for regular wearers.

Are UVEX products certified for workplace use in Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. Many UVEX ear plugs and earmuffs are AS/NZS 1270 certified, which means they meet the required safety standards for use in regulated worksites across Australia and New Zealand.

Absolutely. UVEX earmuffs are designed to be compatible with hard hats, helmets, and safety glasses. Many models feature low-profile cups and adjustable headbands to maintain a secure fit without interfering with other PPE.

How do I choose between ear plugs and earmuffs?

Ear plugs offer a lightweight, discreet solution ideal for long shifts or hot conditions. Earmuffs are easier to take on and off and may be preferred when communication or intermittent noise exposure is part of the job. In high-noise environments, some users even combine both for extra protection.
