Why do you need hearing protection for manual work?

It doesn't matter whether you're doing odd jobs at home or working in construction, hearing protection is important for anyone who works with power tools. After all, exposure to loud noises can leave you with permanent hearing damage. To prevent this from happening, we at Alpine designed special work earplugs and earmuffs for use while on the job.

When hearing damage occurs, you usually don't notice it right away. As soon as you start noticing that your hearing isn't what it used to be, it's already too late - the damage is then irreversible. Hearing protection for construction work is not only necessary for professionals, but also while doing jobs around the house. DIY projects produce more decibels than you might think; like these 10 DIY jobs that cause hearing damage.

Types of earplugs for odd jobs and construction

Alpine WorkSafe earplugs


If you need special hearing protection while doing odd jobs, our comfortable WorkSafe earplugs are ideal. With an attenuation of 23 dB, your hearing is well protected, while conversations and warning sounds are still sufficiently audible thanks to the filters.

Thanks to the convenient lanyard, you can leave your earplugs hanging around your neck when you take them out between jobs, so you don't lose them. The longer stems of the WorkSafe earplugs make them easier to insert and remove while wearing work gloves.


Alpine Defender earmuffs


Do you work with chainsaws, electric drills or other tools that produce more than 110 dB of sound? If so, you need work hearing protection with high attenuation. With a noise reduction of 26 dB, Alpine Defender earmuffs provide excellent protection during the noisiest jobs.

Thanks to the adjustable headband and pivoting ear cups with soft padding, they sit comfortably on everyone - even during prolonged use. These earmuffs are also very suitable for construction sites!

FAQ

Noise levels above 80 dB are considered potentially harmful. The longer you are exposed to these kinds of volumes, the greater the chance of hearing damage. In fact, working with tools that produce a volume of 110 dB or higher, such as leaf blowers, power saws, hand drills and chainsaws, can result in immediate hearing damage. Work hearing protection is also recommended if you only work with hand tools - hitting a nail with a hammer can also produce around 120 dB of sound.

No matter whether you need hearing protection on the construction site or for jobs around the house; both DIYers and professionals can turn to Alpine for comfortable hearing protection. If you order your work earplugs through our webshop, you also benefit from free shipping on orders over $20 in the US. If you are unsure about anything, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department. We are happy to help you with personal advice!

Hearing protection for DIY projects

Noise-induced hearing damage is a common problem in the construction sector. One in five construction workers suffers from hearing damage, and 13 percent have noise-induced hearing loss. DIY projects can also produce harmful decibel levels. Noise-induced hearing loss starts at 80 dB(A), with damage occurring after 8 hours. This duration halves with every additional 3 dB. For example, sanding produces around 95 dB(A), causing damage in 15 minutes. Alpine WorkSafe earplugs are designed for DIY jobs, providing protection while allowing you to hear warning sounds and conversations. They are comfortable, silicone-free, and adapt to your ear canal.

Types of hearing protection

Hearing protection ranges from foam earplugs to custom otoplastics. Foam earplugs are cheap but can irritate the ear and cause infections. Wax balls and silicon plugs also seal off the ear but are single-use. Universal earplugs with adjustable filters prevent a shut-off feeling. Custom otoplastics fit perfectly for long-term use. Earmuffs, attachable to helmets, are ideal for noisy environments but may cause irritation in warm weather. Earmuffs differ from headphones, which are mainly for listening to music.

Earplugs for Formula 1 and MotoGP races

Anyone who visits Formula 1 or MotoGP races knows the track can be deafening. While the sound can give you goosebumps, it's often so loud that it can hurt your ears and cause permanent damage. Motor races can reach 130 decibels, enough to immediately harm your hearing. Sound over 80 decibels is harmful, and exposure duration halves with every 3 decibels increase. To protect yourself, sit further from the track and wear ear plugs like Alpine WorkSafe. Regularly take 'ear breaks' to allow your ears to recover. Enjoy the races safely with proper hearing protection!
