Ear Protection

Protecting your hearing in the workplace is an essential part of maintaining your overall wellbeing and complying with UK health and safety regulations. At Citrus Cleaning Supplies, we provide a wide range of reliable and affordable ear protection designed for different noise levels and working environments. Whether you work in construction, manufacturing, engineering, or cleaning services, we have hearing protection products that offer comfort, durability, and certified noise reduction.

Our collection of ear protection forms a key part of our PPE and clothing range, offering essential safety equipment for individuals and businesses that prioritise health and safety compliance. Each product is carefully selected to meet the required British and European Standards, ensuring you receive top-quality hearing protection every time you order from Citrus Cleaning Supplies.

Why Ear Protection Is Essential

Exposure to high noise levels for even short periods can cause permanent hearing damage. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational illnesses, yet it is also one of the easiest to prevent with the right equipment. Ear protection helps reduce harmful sound levels without obstructing communication, enabling workers to remain safe while staying productive.

In workplaces where noise levels regularly exceed 80 decibels, employers are legally responsible for providing suitable hearing protection. This includes environments such as construction sites, workshops, factories, logistics operations, and even cleaning work involving heavy machinery. The right equipment also helps prevent fatigue and stress associated with prolonged exposure to loud noise.

Types of Ear Protection Available

At Citrus Cleaning Supplies, we stock a variety of hearing protection products designed to suit different needs, preferences, and working conditions:

Disposable Earplugs

Ideal for short-term use or visitors to your site, disposable earplugs offer a simple and cost-effective way to protect against excessive noise. Made from soft foam materials, they expand gently inside the ear canal to create a snug acoustic seal. They are lightweight, hygienic, and suitable for many general industrial and cleaning environments.

Reusable Earplugs

Constructed from high-quality silicone or thermoplastic materials, reusable earplugs provide an environmentally friendly and economical option. They are easy to clean and maintain while delivering consistent protection for regular users. Reusable earplugs are ideal for workers who require daily hearing protection but want a more comfortable and long-lasting solution.

Banded Earplugs

Banded earplugs sit conveniently around the neck when not in use and can be inserted quickly whenever protection is needed. This design is perfect for intermittent noise environments where workers frequently move between quiet and noisy areas. The flexible band ensures the earplugs remain accessible and clean, helping to encourage consistent use throughout the working day.

Ear Defenders and Earmuffs

For high noise environments such as construction sites, airports, or industrial factories, ear defenders (also known as earmuffs) offer robust protection. They are fitted with padded cushions that sit around the ear to block sound effectively without causing discomfort. Adjustable headbands ensure a secure fit, and many models are compatible with safety helmets and visors. Over-ear protection also works well in colder conditions, helping to keep ears warm while maintaining clear communication.

Key Features of Our Hearing Protection Range

• Certified to EN Standards: All hearing protection supplied by Citrus Cleaning Supplies meets or exceeds EN 352 standards, guaranteeing effective noise reduction performance.
• Comfortable Fit: Many models include soft cushions, adjustable straps, or ergonomic ear tips to ensure long-term wearability without irritation.
• Variety of Noise Reduction Ratings: Choose from a range of attenuation levels to match your working environment, from medium to high noise conditions.
• Hygienic and Easy to Maintain: Disposable or washable materials help maintain workplace hygiene. Replacement pads and inserts are also available for extended use.
• Compatible with Other PPE: Our ear defenders can be worn in conjunction with hard hats and safety goggles, ensuring full-body protection without compromise.

Selecting the Right Ear Protection

Choosing the most suitable ear protection depends on several factors, including noise intensity, exposure duration, surrounding temperature, and compatibility with other equipment. For light to medium noise levels, foam or reusable earplugs may offer sufficient protection and comfort. In louder, continuous noise environments, ear defenders or combination protection (earplugs worn underneath earmuffs) may be necessary.

It is crucial to ensure that the selected equipment provides adequate attenuation without overprotecting, as excessive isolation can reduce awareness and compromise safety in some work situations. Citrus Cleaning Supplies offers expert advice and product information to help you make the right choice for your staff and working conditions.
