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!

Preguntas más frecuentes

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.
