About our ear plugs range
Corded and foam ear plugs to EN 352 from Howard Leight and 3M. In stock for rapid UK despatch, with bulk and account pricing for businesses of every size. There are currently 60 products in this range, part of our hearing protection selection.
Everything is available on business terms, with trade pricing that improves with volume. Orders over £100 ex VAT are delivered free, and most stocked lines dispatch for fast delivery.
Choosing ear plugs
Ear plugs are the most comfortable hearing protection for long shifts, hot conditions and work alongside other PPE. This range covers disposable foam plugs (corded and uncorded), reusable plugs, banded plugs and metal-detectable plugs for food and pharmaceutical production, from 3M (E-A-R), Howard Leight, Moldex, QED, Beeswift and Uvex, plus dispensers and refill packs.
Every pack shows an SNR (single number rating). Higher is not automatically better: HSE suggests an SNR of 20 to 30 for noise of 90 to 95 dB(A), and advises against protection that brings the level at the ear below 70 dB, because over-protected workers miss warnings and pull their plugs out. Our SNR guide has HSE’s full table.
Foam plugs only reach their rating when fitted properly: rolled down tight, inserted deep, and held until they expand. A dispenser at each entrance keeps clean plugs to hand, and bulk refill packs bring the cost per pair right down.
What to look for
- SNR matched to the noise level, not simply the highest
- Corded plugs where they could be dropped or lost
- Metal-detectable plugs in food and pharmaceutical production
- Dispensers and refill packs for sites with many workers
