Earplugs

If you want to buy good earplugs, Alpine is the place to go. We have specialised in hearing protection products for 30 years and offer the most comprehensive range of earplugs. Each type of earplug has its own specific properties:

Disposable earplugs


Disposable earplugs can be made of different materials. They include foam earplugs, rubber earplugs and wax earplugs (cotton balls soaked in vaseline/paraffin). Disposable earplugs are inexpensive but only suitable for single use.

Malleable earplugs


Malleable earplugs are balls made of silicone, for example, that you can knead into the right shape yourself before placing them in your ears. Like disposable earplugs, you can only use these inexpensive earplugs once.

Plugs


Plugs are the most commonly used hearing protection today. These universal earplugs provide good protection but prevent the feeling of being completely cut off from the outside world. Alpine invented the filter system for plugs that allows you to set the attenuation yourself. Our plugs are reusable about 100 times.

As an alternative to earplugs, you might consider earmuffs, which are available for babies, children and adults.

How do you choose the right earplugs?

Want to buy earplugs? When making your choice, you should always consider the following aspects:


Level of attenuation


Alpine earplugs are available with different attenuation levels, ranging from 10 dB to 28 dB. The MusicSafe and MusicSafe Pro earplugs come with 2 or 3 interchangeable filters, respectively, so you can tailor the attenuation to your situation. You can also order interchangeable filters for our custom-made earplugs.


Application(s)


Alpine has a suitable earplug for every conceivable application. For example, we can provide you with sleep earplugs, swimming earplugs, motorcycle earplugs and professional earplugs for musicians, among other activities.

Service life and comfort


Inexpensive earplugs, such as the SoftSilicone earplugs, are not reusable and are mainly suitable for occasional use. Our universal earplugs can be used about 100 times. Custom-made earplugs are the best choice in terms of service life. Exactly how long they last varies from person to person - ears are made of cartilage and that is variable - but on average they can last about 4 to 5 years. In addition, custom-made earplugs offer superior comfort.

FAQ

Hearing damage can already occur at noise volumes as low as 80 dB. Volumes of 110 dB or higher can even cause immediate damage. You might not notice it right away, because hearing damage is cumulative; the more frequent and prolonged exposure to high volumes of sound, the more your hearing is damaged. By the time you notice you have hearing loss, it is already too late - hearing damage is irreversible. Wearing earplugs is the best way to protect your hearing. In addition, earplugs can prevent earaches and ear infections caused by swimming and water sports. Flight earplugs prevent earache while flying, sleep earplugs contribute to a good night's sleep and there are also earplugs that switch you to silent mode.

What is a decibel, and how is it measured?

Sound is measured in decibels (dB), ranging from a whisper (20-30 dB) to a jet engine (140+ dB). Prolonged exposure to noises over 80 dB can damage hearing. For instance, at 95 dB, damage can occur in just 15 minutes. Protect your hearing with our range of high-quality earplugs designed for various noise levels, ensuring you can enjoy life’s sounds safely.
