Hearing protection: what material can I choose from?

What is our advice in respect of opting for acrylate or silicone products?

Written by Chantal Willemsen

Pluggerz earplugs are supplied in two different types of material. The hard earplugs are made of acrylate. The soft ones are made of silicone. Each has their benefits. Both are produced digitally by Pluggerz. Most people find the hard hearing protectors more comfortable, but that does not apply to everyone. The 'super soft' silicone earplugs are the most suitable for sleeping, especially if you sleep on your side. The best option for the client depends on their needs and personal preferences. 

Advantages of hearing protectors made of acrylate material:

  • Longer lifespan thanks to the nano-coating finish

  • More hygienic and easy to clean

  • Better sealing, less likely to be rejected during inspection

  • Feel cooler when you are working in a warm environment

Advantages of hearing protectors made of silicone material:

  • More colour options

  • The flat filters are easier to remove for cleaning the earplugs

Can also be connected to in-ear speakers (Custom-Fit Music 2-in-1 and Quiet 2-in-1)
