Ear Muffs, Ear Plugs & Electronic Hearing Protection Australia

Hearing Protection – Ear Muffs, Ear Plugs & Electronic Earmuffs

Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent and cumulative — protecting your hearing on-site isn't optional. Every ear muff and ear plug on this page is tested and classified to AS/NZS 1270, Australia's standard for hearing protector performance. Products are rated Class 1 to Class 5 based on their SLC80 (Sound Level Conversion) rating — the higher the class, the higher the noise reduction. As a guide, the WHS exposure standard is 85 dB(A) averaged over an 8-hour shift — if your workplace noise regularly exceeds that, you need hearing protection rated to match.

Explore Our Range — Earmuffs, Earplugs & Electronic Hearing Protection

• Standard Earmuffs — over-ear protection from 3M Peltor, Howard Leight and Honeywell, available in Class 3 to Class 5 ratings for light industrial through to heavy machinery noise.
• Bluetooth & Electronic Earmuffs — noise-cancelling earmuffs with built-in radio, AM/FM or Bluetooth audio, so you're not sacrificing communication or music for compliance. Fully AS/NZS 1270 rated, not consumer-grade noise-cancelling headphones with no protection rating.
• Roll-Down & Push-In Earplugs — foam and reusable earplugs including the Moldex Sparkplugs range, Howard Leight Laser Lite and 3M options, for lighter, all-day-comfortable protection.
• Hard Hat Earmuffs — clip-on earmuff attachments that mount directly to a compliant hard hat, for combined head and hearing protection without doubling up on headwear.
• Ear Plug Dispensers — wall-mounted and box dispensers for site-wide or facility-wide earplug supply, suited to procurement and facilities teams fitting out a whole workplace.
• Neckband & Banded Options — for intermittent use where full earmuffs aren't practical between noise exposure.

Choosing the Right Class & Type

Matching the class to your actual noise exposure matters more than buying the highest-rated option by default — overprotection can isolate workers from important audible warnings just as underprotection risks hearing damage:

• Class 1–2 — lower noise environments (below 95 dB(A)).
• Class 3 — common trade and construction noise, e.g. angle grinders (95–100 dB(A)).
• Class 5 — the highest rating, for heavy industrial and continuous high-noise environments (105 dB(A) and above).
• Earplugs suit all-day comfort under other PPE (hard hats, safety glasses) and hot conditions where earmuffs can be uncomfortable.
• Earmuffs suit intermittent noise exposure where protection needs to go on and off quickly, and are generally easier to fit correctly than earplugs.
