They also offer dispensers and refill packs for workplaces, making it easy to provide consistent hearing protection to teams and visitors.
Are 3M ear plugs good for work?

Yes — 3M is one of the most trusted brands for workplace hearing protection. Their ear plugs are AS/NZS 1270 certified, with a range of SLC80 ratings to match different industrial noise environments. From construction sites to manufacturing floors, 3M plugs are widely used to meet OH&S requirements.
Many options are designed for long wear, with soft materials and tapered shapes for a secure, comfortable fit — even under helmets or earmuffs.
Can I use 3M hearing protection outside of work?

Absolutely. While 3M is known for industrial use, many of their products are also perfect for personal use — including sleeping, studying, travel, or attending concerts and motorsport events. Their soft foam plugs are great for blocking out background noise and creating a quieter environment wherever you are.
Whether you need protection for rest, focus, or fun, 3M’s range offers high-quality, affordable solutions backed by decades of safety expertise.

3M is one of the most recognised names in workplace safety—and their range of hearing protection products is no exception. In this collection, you’ll find 3M ear plugs and ear muffs engineered to protect against hazardous noise in a wide range of settings, from heavy industry and construction to DIY projects and general noise sensitivity.

With a reputation for reliable protection, consistent fit, and broad accessibility, 3M hearing protection is trusted by professionals and individuals who want peace of mind without overcomplicating the gear they rely on every day.

What industries use 3M hearing protection?

3M products are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, aviation, agriculture, and mining, but they’re also widely used in DIY, lawn care, and other home-based noisy tasks. The brand is trusted where safety compliance and performance matter most.

What’s the difference between corded and uncorded 3M ear plugs?

Corded ear plugs are joined with a soft cord that makes them easier to remove, store around the neck, or keep track of between uses—ideal for jobs where hearing protection is removed and reapplied frequently. Uncorded plugs are more discreet and better for one-time use.

Do 3M ear muffs fit over hard hats or helmets?

Yes. 3M manufactures ear muffs with helmet attachments (sold separately or as part of a system), as well as headband-style muffs that can be worn with other gear like safety glasses or face shields.

Are 3M ear plugs comfortable for long wear?

3M designs their foam and reusable plugs with soft, slow-recovery materials that mould to your ear canal. Many users find them comfortable for all-day wear, especially when fitted correctly and replaced regularly.

Can I use 3M products for home or hobby use?

Definitely. While built for industrial use, many 3M plugs and muffs are perfect for woodworking, lawn mowing, vacuuming, using power tools, or blocking out noisy environments at home.

How do I know if a 3M product is certified for my workplace?

Look for AS/NZS 1270 certification (Class Rating) on the product listing. This standard confirms the hearing protection has been tested for effectiveness and is approved for use in regulated environments across Australia and New Zealand.
