Which Shooting 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.
What kind of ear plugs are best for shooting?

The best shooting ear plugs depend on the type of shooting you do and how much awareness you want to maintain. Foam plugs offer maximum noise reduction and are ideal for indoor ranges or extremely loud environments. Filtered plugs or shooting-specific models are perfect for outdoor use — they block harmful noise while letting through safe sounds like voices or ambient noise.
Some reusable shooting ear plugs come with interchangeable filters or tactical features like impulse protection, which activates instantly during a gunshot but keeps other sounds audible. Many shooters also combine plugs with electronic earmuffs for double protection and better clarity in group settings.

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 passive and electronic shooting ear plugs?

Passive ear plugs (like foam or silicone) reduce all noise equally, while electronic shooting ear plugs use built-in microphones to amplify safe sounds (like voices or movement) and automatically block loud, harmful noise like gunfire.

Are your shooting ear plugs certified for safety in Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. Many of our products are AS/NZS 1270 certified, meaning they meet safety standards for hearing protection in shooting environments across Australia and New Zealand.

How Do Surfing Ear Plugs Work?

Surfing earplugs are typically made from a silicone material that, once inserted, moulds to the shape of your ear. This creates a seal and prevents water from entering your ear, protecting you from any potential damage.

Do electronic shooting ear plugs need batteries?

Most electronic ear plugs require small batteries or have built-in rechargeable batteries. They’re easy to use and often include volume controls or ambient sound settings, depending on the model.

Can I wear shooting ear plugs under earmuffs?

Yes. For extra protection, especially in indoor ranges or when using high-calibre firearms, many shooters use double protection—wearing ear plugs under earmuffs to further reduce overall noise exposure.
