ProtectHear Donation to RESPOND

Due to the war in Ukraine and many other situations more people have to leave their country and their homes, sadly ending up as Refugees in the UK. This is an extremely difficult situation for all these people, as they arrive here with nothing but the clothes they are wearing and perhaps a small amount of personal items.

We recently received a message from the Refugee Health Programme called RESPOND; saying there are refugees who have all been put into rooms but with the amount of refugees to find accommodation for, it means there are as many as 6-8 people all in a very small room. With so many people so close together the noise causes many sleepless nights.

RESPOND asked for any ear plug donations we can provide, to help everyone get a better sleep in difficult conditions. Although we specialise in moulded ear plugs we were able to donate the disposables from our obelisk which we showcase at events, to demonstrate the amount of disposables used over 5 years by a single user.

We are hoping with this donation we can help make a difference to the health and well-being of these refugees.

Guess what grows as you get older…

Did you know your ears continue to grow throughout your lifetime?

Ear change

Over time everyone’s ears grow year on year, as stated in a study from a group of Doctors from London “The ageing process: What happens to our ears over time”. In the 1998 BBC documentary The Human Body: As Time Goes By, this video demonstrates how ears steadily change over a lifetime.

Moulded earplugs

Our earplugs are personally moulded to ensure a perfect fit but as stated, over time the ear shape changes, meaning that the moulded earplugs require a renewal after 5 years.

Why 5 years?

Most custom earplugs have a lifespan of approximately 3-6 years; we have determined through product testing, that our moulded earplugs can stand the test of time! The only thing they can’t control are human factors.

Do my earplugs need renewing?

If you currently have a pair of our earplugs call us on 01507 604322 or email enquiries@protecthear.co.uk, where a member of our team will be able to provide the date your hearing protection was issued.

If your earplugs need renewing, we are more than happy to arrange an appointment to come and visit you. If your earplugs are in date and you would just like a replacement, we can use the original moulds on file to manufacture a new pair.

The benefits over 5 years

It is not only cost saving advantages you will see when using our earplugs, your environmental impact will be reduced, plus your employees will benefit from improved health and safety practices.
