There are many types of products designed for hearing protection and safety. It is both an optional accessory (for noisy concerts, fireworks or drag racing) and a necessity for workers in a variety of industries such as construction, transportation and manufacturing. Many different forms of hearing protection are currently in use, such as expandable foam plugs, preformed reusable plugs, canal covers and ear muffs. Depending on the type of earplug used, noise reduction typically ranges from 25 to 33 decibels. Before making a purchase, it is important to know how to differentiate between the various forms of ear protection.
Built-in ear plugs.
Built-in ear plugs fit into a person's respective ear canal and are used to cancel out external noise. There are three main types of built-in earplugs. The first type is expandable foam plugs, made of material that expands and conforms to the shape of each person's ear canal. To use this type properly, the plug is rolled into a thin cylinder that fits easily into the ear canal. It is difficult for people with small ear canals to form small enough ear plugs, which not only reduces the effectiveness of the inner ear plug, but also reduces the convenience of the inner ear plug.
The second type is the reusable plug (preformed), made of silicone, plastic or rubber, usually in sizes or "one-size-fits-all". Despite having their engineering, a person may need different sizes for different ears. The second type has the advantage of being washable, easy to fit and carry, and usually comfortable and effective. The third type are canal caps, which are similar to ear plugs but are attached by a band usually made of plastic or metal. The band can be worn in several places (on top of the head, on the back of the neck or under the chin). This type is very convenient for strong noises that start and stop randomly in the environment (e.g. construction sites).
Outer ear protection.
Because they fit snugly around the ear, external ear protection is often worn with protective equipment, such as hats, helmets or other cranial devices. One type of external ear protection includes earmuffs, which fit over the entire ear and are designed to block noise completely. While this is the case, some equipment is designed to allow communication between users, such as in the cockpit of a helicopter. These are effective, but can be hot or uncomfortable in certain environments.
