In recent years, there have been rapid developments in the types of products available to provide hearing protection. Not only has the design of hearing protection devices evolved, but the technology and materials used in their construction have advanced as well. 

Safety Earmuffs 

Earmuffs are a common type of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer’s ears from excessive noise, dust or temperature variations, especially in cold weather conditions. Earmuffs often consist of a thermoplastic outer shell and sponge inner and are shaped like a pair of cups. These cups are usually attached to the outer ends of a steel or plastic headband to fit over the top or back of the head and cover the ears tightly. 

Advantages of Safety Earmuffs: 

  • More protection at higher frequencies than earplugs 
  • Designed to fit most people 
  • Less time and effort required to wear 
  • Easy to supervise and monitor 
  • Not easily misplaced or lost 
  • Various noise reduction ratings available 
  • Can be worn with minor ear infections 
  • Re-useable, durable and longer lasting than earplugs 

Top 3 Types of Safety Earmuffs 

Over-the-head Earmuffs - Over-the-head earmuffs are the most common type and are worn when hard hats and face shields are not required. 

Hard Hat-Mounted Earmuffs - Hard hat-mounted earmuffs attach to slots or adapters on a compatible hard hat. This type of earmuffs makes it easier for workers to wear hearing protection where they also need to wear a hardhat. 

Neckband Earmuffs – neckband earmuffs are often worn with head protection, respiratory equipment, and face shields where a headband can get in the way. They go around the back of the neck, rather than over the head.
