Disposable Earplugs

Disposable Earplugs | Extremely Popular Due to High Levels of Comfort & Protection

Among the different types of Earplugs, Disposable Earplugs are the most popular type due to their level of noise reduction, cleanliness, comfort and non-bulky nature. Typical Disposable Earplugs are made out of soft, flexible foam and come in a roll-down style for optimum comfort. Disposable Earplugs are ergonomically designed (usually tapered in nature) to ensure wearer comfort even during extended wear.

Disposable Earplugs are the preferred hearing protection in dirty environments, as employers and employees need not be concerned about dirty earplugs being reused. They are easy and convenient to use, as there's no upkeep involved. After use, there's no worry about cleaning or maintaining them.

There are two types of Disposable Earplugs:

• Uncorded Disposable Earplugs: These Disposable Earplugs are the most popular type as they are more economical (when compared with their corded counterparts) and provide the same level of protection. Many workers also prefer not having loose cords around their neck, which adds to the other PPE they have on their head and face.
• Corded Disposable Earplugs: Come with a flexible cord that can help prevent earplug loss. If the wearer has to take their corded Disposable Earplugs out temporarily, the wearer has the option to keep the corded Disposable Earplugs around their neck for quick and easy retrieval.

If Disposable Earplugs are used regularly in a workplace, or staff working in certain areas are mandated to wear Disposable Earplugs, an Earplug Dispenser can be installed to ensure ease of access. This allows for improved availability and increased wear by workers.
