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.

Electronic Ear Muffs
Electronic ear muffs offer active hearing protection, meaning they don’t just block sound — they intelligently manage it. These muffs use built-in microphones and speakers to amplify safe sounds like speech or ambient noise, while instantly compressing loud sounds like gunfire, power tools, or machinery.
That makes them ideal for environments where you need to stay aware and communicate — without sacrificing protection. You’ll still hear range commands, co-workers, or natural sounds, but sudden loud noises are automatically reduced to safe levels.
Whether you’re at the shooting range, on the job site, or in a tactical setting, electronic ear muffs give you the best of both worlds: situational awareness and serious protection.

When choosing electronic ear muffs, start by thinking about your environment. For shooting and hunting, look for rapid noise compression and directional microphones to keep your hearing safe while tracking movement or following range commands. For workplace use, focus on models with SLC80 certification, long battery life, and clear voice pickup for team communication.
Many electronic ear muffs also include Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to stream music or take calls while staying protected. Others feature foldable designs, replaceable ear cushions, or auxiliary input jacks for radios and comms gear.
At Earjobs, we stock a curated selection of electronic muffs built for comfort, clarity, and certified protection — whether you're on the range, in the workshop, or out in the field.

How do electronic ear muffs protect your hearing differently from standard muffs?
