Which Reusable Ear Plugs For Work 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.

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.

Yes. Several of our reusable models are certified to AS/NZS 1270, making them suitable for use in construction, factory work, or other high-noise job sites across Australia and New Zealand. Look for certification info on each product page.
Do reusable ear plugs come in different sizes?
Many do! Some models include multiple tip sizes or are designed to suit smaller or larger ears. Choosing the right size improves both comfort and noise-blocking performance.
How long do reusable ear plugs last?
With proper care, most reusable ear plugs can last for weeks or even months. Replace them if they become discoloured, misshapen, or less effective at blocking noise.
Why choose reusable ear plugs over disposable ones?
Reusable ear plugs are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly over time. They’re designed to be cleaned and worn multiple times, making them ideal for daily or long-term use in work, sleep, or recreational settings.
How do I clean reusable ear plugs?
Most reusable ear plugs can be washed with mild soap and warm water, then left to dry completely before the next use. Some models come with specific cleaning instructions—always follow the brand’s guidelines to maximise their lifespan.
What are the benefits of corded or reusable ear plugs for work?
Corded ear plugs are ideal for workers who need to remove and reinsert hearing protection frequently, like forklift drivers or team leaders. Reusable plugs are great for long-term cost savings and come in multiple sizes for a better fit.
