Earplugs

Earplugs form a seal in the ear canal that reduces sound levels to help prevent hearing loss in noisy work environments. Earplugs are more portable than earmuffs and are often more comfortable to wear over a longer time period and when working in hot or humid areas. Earplugs can be worn under hard hats, faceshields, and eyewear. They are often paired with earmuffs to increase the noise reduction rating.
