Banded ear plugs are ideal for intermittent use when switching between noisy and quiet areas. They have replaceable ear plug tips attached to a reusable band that holds the tips in place and allows them to be more easily inserted and removed than standard ear plugs. Wear the band over your head, under your chin, or behind your neck. The band can also rest around your neck when the plugs aren't in use. Banded ear plugs are less bulky than ear muffs and more convenient than individual ear plugs to protect hearing where high levels of noise reduction aren't needed.
Ear plugs fit into the ear canal to form a seal that reduces sound levels to help prevent hearing loss in noisy work environments. Compared to ear muffs, ear plugs are more portable and more comfortable to wear over a longer time period and when working in hot or humid areas. They also won't get in the way of hard hats, faceshields, or eyewear. Uncorded ear plugs are a common choice where workers frequently change ear plugs or when a cord could get tangled or caught in machinery. Banded and corded ear plugs can rest around your neck when they're not in use, which makes them less likely to get lost than uncorded ear plugs.
