How to clean your custom moulded earplugs explained

What should I clean my earplugs with?

For best results use mild soapy water and a paper towel or a face wipe to remove the dust and wax from the ear tip.

How do I clean them properly?

If there is a build-up of wax you wish to get rid of then you should do so by squeezing the tip of the canal between the thumb and index finger, and then wipe the wax off.

How do I keep my earplugs safe?

When provided they come with a pouch with your name, for you to store them in and a belt clip to keep on you at all times.

Where do I find all this information?

In your pouch you have operating instructions label; this shows you about the care, warranty and instructions of fitting your earplugs.

Full Instructions on how to fit can be found here.

Health and Safety North Listen in….

The Health and Safety North Listen in…

ProtectHear® exhibited its 4th Event of the year, The Health and Safety North Show, held at the Bolton Arena. This was the second event of the year organised by Western Business Exhibitions, our first show outside of the NEC and it certainly exceeded expectations.

The event was over a 2 day period with a full programme, conferences, seminars and guest speakers throughout the day. The show had over 2500 visitors with employees from industrial sectors visiting.

This was yet again a great opportunity for ProtectHear® to showcase our many products and services. To promote custom moulded earplugs and how we are here to help prevent NIHL (Noise Induced Hearing Loss). Hearing is very important especially when you consider that hearing loss is irreversible.

Our next show with Western Business Exhibitions will be the Health and Safety NEC 2017 in March. Come visit us for more information on our company.

Silicone ear plugs feature ‘Inside the Factory’

Silicone ear plugs feature on the BBC

Did you catch any of series two of ‘Inside the Factory’ that has been featuring on BBC 2 recently? You can see the largest factories in Britain, what process our foods are subject to in these mass production plants and really see the sheer scale of production. Episode one of the series explored inside ‘Walkers’, the worlds largest potato crisp site, where an impressive 5 million packets of crisps are made every day. The second episode featured Heinz, the largest baked bean factory – can you believe they are making over 3 million cans of beans a day?

On a hearing level, we wondered how they are protecting their employees?… 🙂

….check out the silicone ear plugs being used by workers at Heinz… The ear plugs are great for working in such a noisy environment as they protect hearing at a safe level whilst still allowing speech. Episode three featured Kelloggs, the largest cereal production site in Europe that manufactures over a million boxes a day and you can see our earplugs in use again.

Our silicone ear plugs are made for perfect use within the food manufacturing industry as they are metal detectable. They can be worn with all other forms of PPE and offer maximum comfort for ease of wear. They are also easy to maintain and clean.

To watch the series so far visit BBC iPlayer.

And if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team.
